best sorc setup

My meph sorc has only one skill point in static , but ive found that if you use static until meph is down to half , it makes the runs a lot faster , it also requires a lot less orbs. As for energy shield , sometimes it really poses as a handicap , one hit with his little ice/lightning ball and it takes a huge chunk out of your mana
(given you shouldn't be hit by those ). I've also found that the act 3 hireling s, make a huge difference in how fast the runs go , if you have they're res maxed out , they will stand there , and take all of mephs attacks , and their health doesn't budge , and meph doesn't even bother to target you, (use them if you want to go full mf and don't want to have to worry about equiping yourself with resistance equip).
