Best D2R Season 2 Starter Build - D2R 2.5 Ladder Sorceress Build to Farm Sunder Charms

This is a Frozen Orb Hydra Sorceress build that is the best budget Season 2 starter character for Diablo 2 Resurrected 2.5 Ladder, use it to find your favorite sunder charms and change to more powerful builds you want to create.

Stats

Put enough attribute points to the strength needed for gear like Monarch, but you don’t want to put these points in there until you get to Hell, then nothing to dexterity and nothing into energy, and everything else into vitality.

Skill Tree

Max out the Frozen Orb firstly to get the advantage, you can get the monsters to be slowed if they are not cold immune, then you're going to max out Hydra and Fire Mastery, which is gonna add damage to Hydra whereas the cold mastery's gonna take away enemy cold resist. Then put some points on Ice Bolt and Cold Mastery. Put a point in the static field, this is very important when you do come across something that is both immune to cold and fire. Frozen Orb synergy is going to be Ice Bolt and Hydra synergies past the Fire Mastery gonna be Fire Ball. Early on in D2R season 2, you mostly might not be able to be strong enough to take out something that is cold and fire immune, what you will have to do is skip something.

- Cold Spells: Frozen Orb 20, Ice Bolt 6, Cold Mastery 16, Frost Nova 1, Ice Blast 1, Glacial Spike 1, Blizzard 1

- Fire Spells: Hydra 20, Fire Mastery 20, Fire Ball 3, Fire Bolt 1, Enchant 1, Warmth 1

- Lightning Spells: Static Field 1, Telekinesis 1, Teleport 1
