Introduction

The Blizzard Sorceress is known for high power and big Area of Effect damage. From dueling to magic finding to Chaos runs, this Sorceress can handle almost any area once geared up enough. Like other single-element characters, while still leveling or undergeared, she will be dominant in specific areas but struggle anywhere with Cold Immune Monsters.

You can check the viability of this build in PvM by consulting our PvM Tier List.

MrLlamaSC's Blizzard Sorceress Video Guide

We also have a video guide that goes over the build, if you prefer that instead of or in addition to our written guide.

Blizzard Sorceress Breakpoints

In Diablo 2, stats that affect action speed (known as frames) for attacking, casting, blocking, and recovering from a hit can almost never be taken literally. For example, gaining 10% Increased Attack Speed from an item will not necessarily translate into 10% faster attacks. To achieve faster actions, certain breakpoints must be reached, which vary for every class. The tables below list how much of a given stat is required to actually improve the action speed of the class for the stated action.

Blizzard Sorceress Mercenary

You can either choose a Defensive ( Holy Freeze) or Offensive ( Might Might) Act 2 Nightmare Mercenary here depending on if you want a slower and safer pace, or want your Mercenary to have added damage to help take care of Cold Immunes. We prefer a Might Might mercenary.
