• Kite enemies and utilize hit-and-run tactics with Teleport since survivability is lower.

• Consider equipping a Thundergod's Vigor armor for extra damage reduction if struggles survive.

• Focus on P1 content until better gear is acquired. Higher player counts will overwhelm weaker damage.

D2R Hydra Orb Sorc Build For Endgame

This endgame Hydra Orb sorceress build optimizes damage output and survivability through focused skill allocation and top-tier gear. The skill tree maximizes Hydra, Orb, and synergies while minimizing cold mastery due to the powerful -80% conviction aura from Infinity on the Act 2 mercenary. Key D2R gear like Enigma, Oculus, Shako, and Infinity exponentially increase damage and skills while also providing crucial teleportation, magic find, and resistances. The merc is given maximum support through Fortitude, Andariel's Visage, and an elite attack speed jewel. By min-maxing skills based on available gear attributes rather than a fixed passive tree, and supplementing damage with top D2R runewords, this build represents a pinnacle version leveraging perfect synergies between skills, gear, and mercenary functionality for dominating all content.
