Sorceress Skills in Diablo 2 are the Skills that the Sorceress use to attack, defend and otherwise face down the minions of hell. Every Class has three main Skill trees, each of them composed of 10 different Skills.
There are three distinct skill trees available for the Sorceress, these are: Cold Spells, Fire Spells and Lightning Spells. Each one is focused on a different element.
Best Sorcerress skills to use in your builds, maximizing your capabilities and synergizing with Runewords and Equipment.
Important Note: With the release of Patch 2.4 these skills have been updated.
Cold Skills
Chilling Armor now has a great Defense Bonus and Damage Potencial. Frost Nova has received damage scaling improvements.
Lightning Skills
Some Synergies have been added.
Fire Skills
Inferno has gained control improvements with free form casting and better damage scaling. Blaze does not require synergies as much as before, it also gained a damage increase and a new Run/Walk Speed buff to be more useful as a target. Hydra no longer has Casting Delay and the new limitation on Max hydras will match the maximum Hydra count from before this patch.
