There are some tips: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5897
I have no personal experience about poison sorcs but I hear they are still beasts, propably even more so than in last patches. And looking at the set it didn't get hit much by the nerf hammer, pierce is maybe only problem, you would need nice crafted boots and rare trinkets.

Poison sorc is good but there are a ton of poison immunes through regular gameplay. You'll need a reliable alternate element and a way to get enough pierce to make it effective.

When I used a poison sorc, i maxed ice elementals and the 2 synergy skills for health/damage. That way I could just let them handle the poison immunes.

Well. What I mean is that you'll need to obtain at least -100 enemy poison (-135 optimal), along with the same amounts for cold to deal with immunes and shatter your way through corpses.
The other option is to simply get a merc to help you deal with immunes, as long as you're comfortable having a merc in the areas you're farming. For example, Duncraig can be tricky because it's hard to control the merc ai to avoid barres without teleporting every chance you get. Same with triune meteor spires. Tran and Fauzt should be good though.
I was running my lorenado paladin at -127 enemy poison and 22-26k lorenado, and it was trashing everything except the poison immune harpies, which are naturally low hp and easy to kill anyways.

everyone is focused on poison, but heres a powerful alternative
i suggest lightning sorc - items needed: elemental set -OR- high -enemy lighting res pierce and high +lightning spell damage Ornate CRAFTS.
early on in all ladder resets, light sorc elemental set is always hot cargo, so they are quite pricey and pieces are scarce if you are looking to buy/trade them.
this is why i recommend light sorc crafted gear. it's pretty much the same except light sorc set provides way higher defence and %DR bonuses only useful for a few ubers aka no big deal. crafts will always be higher damage output thanks to all the -enemy light res pierce. besides, you have ice elementals, they're amazing. enough said.
what can light sorc do? literally every (most) non-purify ubers. would recommend if you are newer to the game. there should be a guide for light sorc as well.

Has anyone got some experience with Arcane Torrent sorc? The dammage looks crazy high to me. I have maxed forked lightning with full elemental set with light jewels and 1 point in arcane torrent. Arcane torrent deals more dmg in character stats page but i suspect forked lightning can hit the same enemy multiple times?
