So I loved my Sorc, but now in Hell I just can’t kill anything in the area where Diablo is. Everything is cold immune.
I was able to kill cold immunes in A1-A3, but now I can’t do anything. Is there another spec that will work for A4 and 5?
There are only a few natural cold immune in chaos sanctuary. You can mostly skip them or tk stun lock them while merc kills if you must. That is how you take down DeSeis as a cold sorc. Let the merc kill him and spam telekinesis.

I’m running a pure Blizzard sorceress in Hell. VERY poorly geared, can get to and take on literally every Act boss bar Duriel, and very swiftly mind you. You may just need an Act 2 Merc with an Insight or Reaper’s Toll or whatever you want to use. Personally recommend Insight to keep your mana up.
Meteorb is easier to finish off the game, but you can absolutely do it as pure blizzard. Gotta reroll ancients until only 1 is cold immune, kill the first two with blizzard and let you merc whittle down the last one. Make sure he doesn’t roll extra fast and also “cloister bug” your merc. Google it.
It’s still the best MF build in the game without an infinity.
Just farm Mausoleum/Ancient Tunnels/Pindle/Meph etc.

Technically, Mausoleum, Ancient Tunnels, Pindle, Mephisto, Andariel, Diablo and Baal are all doable for a pure cold Sorceress.

I have that, but he’s now just running around like he’s feared and does very little damage. I’ll try again tonight.
Passive aggressive tone isn’t needed. Not everyone is going to be aware of what you’re implying.
Those with reading comprehension etc. lol
Right. Whatever floats your boat. Etc.
Is it in a relatively high end base?
Insight in the first exceptional or elite 4 socket you get that isn’t crazy high strength requirement and he can take down hell mobs. Slap on cheapo stuff like a non eth duriel’s/treachery/shafstop and stealskull/Tal mask/crown of thieves and he will live just fine.

I’m not going to explain the cloister bug here. Better to watch a video.
It isn’t exactly a secret and a long known useful bug. It requires a fairly drawn out explanation though which is why I suggest a video.
I’ll throw you a bone though. When your merc gets trapped behind a door and you run out of range, it warps back to you after a bit. When it does, monsters will no longer target it but it can still attack them. You take all the heat but your merc will basically never die. Great against ancients since you can just run around while the merc beats on them.
I have that on my merc. I could kill cold immunes until last night in A3. Maybe I should make the other one that requires two Ber runes, but I only have one right now.
Truly have no idea what you’re talking about. I never even brought it up hahah.
What’s that? Nothing on google.
I just explained it above. Try “inner cloister merc bug” first video on Google search YouTube. Extremely useful.
I have an A2 Merc with Insight (Cryptic Axe base), wearing a lolarious Eth Gladiator’s Bane and Tal’s helm. Rocks most any trash monsters with relative ease. Your milage will vary based on level however, but he doesn’t die very easily, especially if you’re topping him off yourself with potions. (almost said potatoes ._ .)
