Short Questions Thread
Hi,
I'm starting my second character, a sorc. My first one is a Caster Druid. He's a good farmer (lvl 125), Duncraig and Teganze feel easy, but I'm struggling with 120+ Ubers. I'd particularly like to beat Kabraxis because with my actual char, there's no way to deal with him (nor entering Fauzt). My sorc will be raised to avenge her predecessor.
So I thought a cold sorc could be a good boss killer, reading the starter tier list, and recent thread like this one, a quick response here from Gregmxl on page 2739 and the most recend guide from the guides section (quite outdated actually).
I understand it's all about playstyle, personal taste and gear dedication, but I'm a bit lost with all these attacking elemental spells. With the druid it was easy : one spell for mobs (Plague avatar), one for the static bosses (RoF). So here are 3 questions :
- What would be the best attacking spell against a fast moving boss of all 3 trees?
- Say I want to be rather tanky, which passive/complementary spell from the other tree would be the best choice ? And do you often mix elements for anything else than enjoying the fireworks ?
- I got the SU Ghostmoon with my druid in Duncraig, +8 bolts for Forked Lightning sounds like a huge boost. Or not that much ?
Sorry to insist on this "what's the best sorc attack spell" question, and thanks for your answers !

What’s the SU vs SSU vs SSSU drop rate chance? Is it 50% or 33% if there’s SSSU? ( I’m pretty sure it’s not a dead even split)

Not sure how is it now but probably ratio is still 1:4 for SSU and 1:10 for SSSU (at least i haven't seen any mentioning to it in later changelogs)

It's most obvious ye, but still you can use hunting banshee as single target or even as farm skill and/or elemental as farm skill. And believe me, hunting banshee as single target is much more viable against some teleporting and esp. moving bosses 'cause it dealing burst damage in single frame compared to multihitting rain of fire that also require target to be stationary.

4 trees if you mean elemental. It could sound wierd from me but here Arachnomancy is best in aiming because it's instantly hitting spell while all others have downsides: flamestrike/pyroblast is huge multihit + small delay before activation, thunderstone is ok and deal massive burst damage but it have huge delay before it actually hit target (if only target is not in melee range), abyss is same as flamestrike but it's also very tricky to aim.
