Meta builds usually get guides written first b/c...well, they're meta builds. They can usually complete the content faster, so ppl can get guides written faster. And let's be honest, a good chunk of players are only interested in op meta builds anyway (which gives ppl even less incentive to write guides for non-op builds). Plus, writing a guide is a pita, and most ppl would rather just play the game.
You can still find the old pre-Sigma guides here if you want some other build ideas, but don't rely too heavily on them (much has changed).
As for Fire/Cold Sorc specifically, I've written about it a bit in this thread. But the tl;dr is: it's really good in Early-Game, mediocre in Mid-Game, and not so good in End-Game (at least the build variations and gear combos I tried).
What build would you consider meta that doesnt rely on summoning ? I wanna try something fresh and try to aim at most content, so for now, as a noob, I definitly have to focus on meta builds ...
Thanks for your time !
