That doesn't mean she doesn't excel at it. The Sorceress is not designed for melee combat. It's especially great for players who have problems with enemies that are immune to an element. The name sounds like a premier sports league that goes unceremoniously bankrupt after three seasons, but it is a legitimate build. Players that want to be a pure pyromaniac are free to do so while those who want to mix in a little frost will have plenty of leftover points.

For those who don't really like the gimmicky nature of the Melee Sorceress build, the Enchantress is here to save the day. At one time, the Chain Lightning spell was considered one of the weakest selections in the game. If groups of elites are becoming a reoccurring point of failure, the Chain Lightning build will fix that in a snap.

Being able to rain down attacks from the sky has an extensive list of benefits. This class is often considered prohibitive for this difficulty setting but not anymore. This build is brought to you by the Sorceresses who want to play solo on Hell mode but keep running into enemies that counter them. The Blizzard build is fantastic in PvE as well until you encounter an enemy with a cold immunity, then you're either going to need another party member or a lot of ingenuity to progress. Of course, a PvP build has to enter the race at some point.

What's the single highest damage number you will ever see in Diablo 2? Well, let's attempt to answer that question with help from the Fire Ball build. This build has all of the advantages of the Fire Ball build huge damage numbers in a spammable spell that obliterates groups of targets and bosses alike.
