One of the classic and most used combinations of abilities in Diablo 2 Resurrected is the combination of Ice and Fire for the Sorceress class, which goes by the Diablo 2 Resurrected Meteor/Frozen Orb Sorceress Build.
Diablo 2 Resurrected Meteor/Frozen Orb Sorceress Build
In this guide, we will list the Meteor/Frozen Orb build for the Sorceress class with tips on what gear to choose, what abilities to invest skill points on, and what are the advantages of this build.
One of the major drawbacks of the Sorceress class was her inability to bear against resistance immunities and low synergy count. And that still is the case with many of the Sorceress Builds.
But, with the help of Meteor and Frozen Orb, the Sorceress class can now utilize the synergy count and hold tough against resistance immunities. Using both of these will give the Sorceress class more power and enough skill points to use on Meteor skills.
You will be able to handle any monster in the game with little to no effort using the Meteor/Frozen Orb build; which also means faster Sorceress Leveling! This build is also considered one of the best builds to use in PvP mode.

Let’s begin the Meteor/Frozen Orb build with stats and attributes:
Attributes Distribution
Since this build is Mana-based and not Life-based, we will spend most of the points on the Energy attribute to get the most out of the mana.
- Strength: Enough to wear the gear.
- Dexterity: Enough to wear the gear.
- Vitality: 209
- Energy: Spend the rest of the points here.
Skills
Telekinesis & Energy Shield (Maxed Out)
You need to max out both Telekinesis and Energy Shield because of the combination of both skills.
When the hits you receive by the enemies are absorbed by the Energy Shield, these hits are then take away your Mana instead of depleting your health. This makes your Sorceress class invincible against the enemies.
Meteor (Maxed Out)
This skill is the second most useful skill that you need to invest skill points in for this build. Meteor is going to be the main damage dealer skill with its ability to summon meteor showers at the enemies that will cause all types of problems for them.
Ice Bolt (Maxed Out)
Ice Bolt creates bolts of ice that when thrown at the enemies, makes them move slow in speed and take away some of their health.
Frozen Orb (Maxed Out)
Frozen Orb is an A-tier skill for the Sorceress class that uses magical powers to create a globe around the enemies that throws ice bolts at them.
Frozen Armor (+1)
For a defensive build like this one, Frozen Armor is a must-have skill. It increases your defense against enemy attacks and freezes them if they hit you.
Shiver Armor (+1)
It does the same job as the Frozen Armor skill.
Frost Nova (+1)
This is an AoE skill that creates a ring of ice around the enemies and slows them down while dealing damage.
Ice Blast (+1)
Same as the Frost Nova Skill.
Blizzard (+1)
