And what would you recommend for doing normal baal if so.

I was pretty much planning on making an orb sorc with some decent gear that I could just tank tele to all the thingies and trip em then pretty much kill all the normal mobs in 1-2 orbs. Probably max block ES?

Could get 300 damage orb with fairly cheap easy gear.

I'm not quite sure how high/easy it would be to level in norm chaos though?

I assume 30 shouldn't be too hard I vaguely remember single playering an orb sorc and hitting 30 very shortly after a4 which I didn't spend much time in.

An orb sorc is probably best for baal. I made a bowazon for this, and while she is not bad with frw, I certain do miss the teleport and static field. I wouldn't worry too much about block or ES. Doing baal runs, even solo, you get a lot more levels than you expect. With block you could probably tank the minions fairly easily, but I can't see how that would be of any real benifit. I'd say go all out for cast rate and damage.
One trick I have learned: cow games. The majority of cow games are made by a player who has already passed normal making them an easy way of getting a game where the quest can't be completed (still make sure to check the quest log). People seem to join cow games long after the cows are dead, so you also get increased drops from having more players in the game.

Diablo sounds a lot harder, since you can't level on baal runs. I guess he would be faster to run, though, if you had the right character.

Yep, I personally have a lvl 63 sorc still in normal. I did fireball/meteor.

I've got a lvl 67 orber sorc still in normal; 650 orb dmg with -155 resis from cold mastery easily kills anything
I wouldn't consider going max block at all. But I do use es.

Things I've found useful:
get an insight merc for sure
make the 105% fcr breakpoint
you won't be wanting to use life scs in your invo.. they will just take up space. tp & id book + keys is all you want.
use a raven frost (getting cold and walking to your stash sucks)
get a decent amount of frw just so you run faster in town lol (i use sanders boots for example)
