I played D2 few years ago. Recently I started play again old games like Baldurs Gate saga etc and wanted to try again D2. But I cant decide between Lightning sorc or Summoner necro. I heard summoner necro can play even naked but Im afraid this will become boring after awhile. On the other hand Im afraid Lightning sorc will have hard time vs immune monsters (single element). So any advice about this two classes? Did you get bored with necro? Or how to deal with immune monsters as single element sorc? Whats better option for first build on the account (as i said I played few years ago but I dont remeber much so i consider myself as new player)?
PS: I know its D3 forum but I think its better place to ask than Video Game Discusion.
Eh, my build isn't focused on mf, but I pull off 150-160 regardless and still have 40-44k dmg Lightning, 50+ beyond capped resists to each element, 2 SoJs, 120 FCR. In my old mf set prior to getting Griffs and CoH I did just as much dmg as you do in your setup if not more, and still had 500+ mf, so I don't really see the appeal in this.

@SirAndy
Thanks for the suggestion. I have looked at those, but both of them require use of the front and back bar, which is something I cannot do.
My age (71) kind of lowered my reaction time to nothing for things coming at me, memory issues, etc. So, hence I was looking for a front-bar only setup (I'll heave some healing spells on the back-bar, but I can't handle offensive abilities on two bars).
I think I'm going in the right direction with the abilities in Storm Calling, having played it today for several hours and getting comfortable with having to get close to the enemy with Lightning Form (5m max distance is not much in-game).
Like you said, play around, which is what I'm doing. It's a lot different if you try to change a level 45 character into the lightning setup and basically not know what you're doing, versus playing the setup from the beginning with a new character.
I also found a 1-bar setup from a player named DeadlyPhoenix that I'm going to try out (his is for VMA, which I've never ever done in all the years I'm playing because I mainly play solo), but I should be able to adapt it to normal play.

How To Get Higher Lightning Dmg D2 Sorc 2017
- The Sorceress' lightning spells tend to feature the lowest and highest possible damages, so it's important that you average out your true killing power. Many of these skills are not hugely damaging, but they are meant to be used repeatedly and very quickly, and can be devastating when employed with speed and skill. Higher mana regeneration and especially faster cast modifiers are very useful.
