@@vicentiupredescu7205 Yes, but there are plenty of areas where that doesn't really work, for example Baal-runs. Also, since I am talking about budget (solo selffound in my case), just running through and ignoring immunes can be quite dangerous, since I have most likely low resistances, FHR ec.

Blessed hammer used to have the same property until it was nerfed.

[@TheBlackProductionz]

Just to add what you have missed for Lightning - Arcane Sanctuary as for light char it’s easier to farm there without Infinity and also a great area for Keys from Summoner and also, if you get on the wrong path the chests give you nice items like GC CS 30 Life or something else

[@p.h.bridegroom4142]

That's what I was gonna say, Arcane Sanctuary is an amazing place to farm lightning damage. Plus between the ghost mobs and the chests it's a great place yo farm runes.

It's weird how much you appreciate every little thing when you are starting out with nothing . LoL !!

[@Midgert89]

Ive done baal as a an Orb/Chain lightning sorc pretty fine, just chain lightning wave 2 from range and you're good. It's not super optimized mind you but unless you get succubi/chaos sanctuary mobs in the throne room you wont have much of a problem at all.

[@Djodjov]

Never tried orb/chain lightning yet but Orb/firewall is also a very good build to farm all the content ;) firewall do insane dps on every boss and help the merc with immunes

[@barchibald86]

I always felt like light needs too many synergies to hybrid effectively. I go orb maxed and mastery maxed for cold then I max firewall and fire mastery. Orb is op unless cold immune. Firewall dmg is op without needing synergies so you can optimize your other points into support skills. And the few cold/fire immune you encounter can be dealt with via merc or kiting away if they are hella enchanted. Decent gear atm but nothing god tier. Occy and spirit. Shako, plus 2 cold army or plus 2 fire if I'm going where I know alot of cold immunity. No skiller gc or soj no set pieces. I'm curious how high your light dmg is as a cold light hybrid. Do you max. Light skills then take cold or mix? Be interested to see your build..

[@jesseroberts1041]

@@barchibald86 usually they’re maxed lightning first and Orb is more of an “inbetween” at least how I did mine. Lite has just crazy high damage, and with Infinity you’re well, taking away any res for the most part. But it’s an expensive build by far.

[@thedarksoulsmaster3925]

[@AwoudeX]

baal wave 2, you can go for 2 options, depending on gear: -put 1 point in fanaticism and smite em down -use holy bolt, yes it's magical but it trumps the immunity because it's specifically against undead.

[@balkthor]

I know it's not listed as an area for Lightning classes, but my second Arcane Sanctuary run on a Javazon gave me my first Ohm rune. And no immunities, except the towers. I'm never farming anywhere else again

@@Three60Mafia ur a cow killer...ur meant for cows basically...the mf sorc/pally/pnecro are the farmer types look at it this way...youre better at killing cows than a mf sorc and cows are known to drop a lot of high runes...so in a way you have a hidden mf with the advantage of cycling through drops to get more high runes than a mf sorc would otherwise... then you take those and get what you need for other classes.... my advice is kill a lot of hell cows and build a 2nd mf character like a uber pally or mf sorc

I still don't get how immunities work. I have cold mastery leveled to -100 immunities so I figured I would start seeing them fall.. but I haven't. It's annoying because Pits, countess, and shenk/eldritch are so quick and easy but they are all cold immune. Countess is quick enough with merc. Not time efficient to have my merc fight them all. I am unsure if I should respec and not level cold mastery (or will I eventually break immunes) and instead level fireball.

Cold sorc can definitely run Nihlathak too. It's not bad unless he spawns cold immune. Just drop some blizzards on the stage from the edge, check for GCs and keys and out you go. If he is cold immune I just leave and don't bother. I'd also add infernal pit( frozen tundra sub area ) for lightning. It's not lvl 85 and the only thing that can spawn light immune there is night lords, which doesn't seem to be very often. I dropped a death's fathom in there. But same as nihla, if night lords spawn I just skip that zone that run. Their frenzy eats mercs up.
