[edit] Usage
Fire Bolt is the skill the Sorceress begins with in Diablo II. She does not actually have any skill points allocated, but the Short Staff she comes equipped with gives her a +1 bonus to the spell.
Generally, the sorceress has the choice of choosing between three spells in the beginning: Fire Bolt, Ice Bolt, and Charged Bolt. Whereas Charged Bolt can handle large groups and Ice Bolt can slow enemies, Fire Bolt does the highest and most consistent damage, making it the safest choice.
For Meteorb Sorceresses or Sorceresses that specialize in Fire Spells, Fire Bolt will most likely have to be maxed, even if it is not used later in game: this is due to the synergies it bestows.
[edit] History
The Fire Bolt is among the first cantrips a young Sorceress must learn before traveling out into the known world. Gathering a small amount of elemental energies, the Sorceress hurls darts of pure fire at those who would seek to injure her.
