    I'm trying to kill improved Balthazar with a solo sorcerer and when he uses his chant ability his magic fire/cold resisttance drops to 50. I tried cone of cold and dragon's breath but they both did less than 10 damage. Is there a way to deal magic fire/cold in the game? Anyway if there isn't how do you defeat him?

    That damage is done by weapons that say they do that sort of damage. Those will kill him. I can't think of any off hand...

    I think Foebane *might* help, because Monks that are high enough level are considered Outsiders - might not apply though.

    While those weapons might be helpful to some, a solo sorcerer can't use most of them. Firetooth is the best of the bunch for a sorcerer, as far as weapons go, but can't you just summon a bunch of minions, or lower his resistance, or what not?

    Flame Arrow (Third level mage spell) will deal fire damage. A fire elemental also deals fire damage on its hits. Fireball or sunfire would also work.
