Ok, I’m on sp and I have a lvl73 blizzard sorc. I don’t want to have a terrible time doing the ancients. I’ve saved back 10 skill points. Would anyone recommend spending the points getting to 1 in fire mastery and putting the rest into firewall? Or should I go all firewall? Any other suggestions? Thanks!
Orb Hydra was the goto way back when. Could try and buff up your merc to tank for you with like a prebuff treachary too if you wanted feeding him pots to keep him alive. Do you have a point in static?
I’ve already invested in Bliz and don’t want to respec, I’ve already respecced once. I don’t think static works on ancients. This is my only single player char and my gear leaves something to be desired. It’s funny I have a couple Pul but no Lems yet
What is your skill allocation so far? If you only have 10 skill points left, I guess you tried maxing Blizz and its synergies? That only works if you have cold sunder, or if you have already killed Hell Ball so you can freely farm in areas with no cold immunes.
You can reset the ancients by open a tp, whenever you start the fight the immunities are random, you can restart until no one got cold immunity and kite them around with blizz.
Also, if you ivested all of your points in blizzard and synergies already just keep staying there or respecc to fire/orb, makes things easier until you got your hands on a sundercharm.
It’s possible on both ways.
I got it. I put a point into fire mastery and sunk the rest into firewall. Reset until I got a cold/lightning ancient and cheesed him with the firewall, took about 8 minutes
LOL where did you start thinking that?
Korlic is always cold immune on Hell.

yea didnt mentioned that one, while talic always fire and madawc always lightning, but if you have madawc and talic done, korlic shouldn’t be any issue anymore with a somewhat geared a2 merc and a few potions, especially as sorc.

The key in that fight is to separate the Ancients and fight only one of them at a time. Plus reset them if any of them is cold/fire immune. Lower resist wand + spirit shield in one weapon slot and Leaf staff on switch should do the trick, even for a Blizz sorc, because Blizz and its synergies maxed out has high enough dps on its own, so the 10 points remaining should go to FMastery (1 pt) and FireBall (9 pts). FWall is pretty difficult to use against Korlic who always leaps, it is only somewhat usable against Madawc who stands still while throwing his weapons.
Good for you. I would have recommended a merc and maybe hydra so you can enchant your merc and set up hydras while using static/TK
To answer the original question… just going from memory…
One point in fire mastery is best. Then hard points in the main skill. However, you will eventually reach a point where your base damage in your skill becomes high enough that it’s actually better to invest in synergies. I don’t think you are at that point though.
Each their own, unless I want to respecc anyway I wouldn’t waste that 10 points for just one fight, always did going full on ice and let my merc handle it.
