Diablo II Hints
Cold Spells
Blizzard -- This spell creates a blizzard that slows and damages everything that is hit by its falling shards. This is a really good spell. Pump this thing up and use it like you would Meteor.
Chilling Armor -- This spell is a good armor spell too. Best used for the constant ranged attacks of the fetishes of Act 3. It shoots out an ice bolt at anything that attacks the sorceress with ranged items. It also gives a defense bonus. If you liked Shiver Armor, this is worth a few points too.
Cold Mastery -- Your enemies have less cold resistance against your cold skills. This is a very useful mastery, since the best spells (with the exception of Meteor) are in the cold discipline.
Frost Nova -- This spell is similar to the lightning spell Nova, only the enemy is also slowed. It is therefore better for the type of sorceress who would want to use it.
Frozen Armor -- This spell gives a bonus to defense, and anyone that hits you freezes. Another good one for melee-oriented sorceresses. Pump a few points in if you fit this category.
Frozen Orb -- This spell causes an orb of ice to shoot out that shoots bolts of ice in every direction. I never found this to be overly useful, but it (like Blizzard and the almighty Meteor) is good for taking out large groups of concentrated enemies.
Glacial Spike -- This is a much more powerful version of Ice Blast, and after it hits the target, everyone in a radius is frozen. This is an excellent spell, but it really chews up your mana. If you don't mind that, then pump this one up even higher than Ice Blast.
Ice Blast -- This spell hits the enemy, damaging it and completely freezing it. This is the best offensive non-radius spell that can be used by the sorceress, so pump this thing up to around ten.
Ice Bolt -- This spell shoots a bolt of ice that damages and slows the enemy. This is a good spell, probably the best of all the basic spells. It is good at early levels but hold off on really pumping it up -- there is a better version coming up.
Shiver Armor -- This is the upgrade to frozen armor. Not only does it give a bonus to your defense, but you're when hit, the attacker is slowed and takes damage. If you would be the kind of person who would use Frozen Armor, this is what you really want.
