Hybrid vs Pure?

Is it better to go hybrid or pure fire/ice sorc?

You will have to ask the right questuon in order to get an answer

Both are better in different scenarios

Pure:

  • More damage
  • faster clear speed when in the area where the monsters are not immune to you.
  • Your insight merc can provide ok phy damage
  • slower when clearing areas where the monsters are immune to you.
  • much harder to solo through hell mode.
  • more limited on where you can farm.
  • you are not fine without some sort of immunity breaker such as Infinity merc, Plague merc, or lower resist Wand. (1st two options are super expansive.)

Hybrid:

  • less damage.
  • With phy damage from your insight merc, you do not have any immunity problem.
  • Could solo through hell mode (more ideal for single player)
  • could farm anywhere although farming in the area where has no both fire and ice immunity is still faster. i.e. Stony Tomb is a better farming place than Pit.
  • you are fine without some sort of immunity breaker
  • If you don’t know what are you doing, you may build it wrong and make the build unplayable.
