I have a CLFO sorcerss. I am using her to find gear for other characters. I do many Diablo run since I never died. The only problem of Meph-run is that u may encounter those shorties and they kill u in split seconds. I assume Diablo is a higher lvl Boss so should drop better items accordingly. However, the public opinions seem all vote for Mephisto. Can anyone tell me the reason?

meph is a much faster boss to reach as diablo u have to beat up the grand vizier, de seis, and infector of souls just to release him, while meph u can just tele down there and use the moat trick while hes able to drop decent items. quick way to gain wealth off him.
ppl will just do chaos runs as well as diablo for their friends normally who will leech from 1-60+

The problem of meph-run besides the shorties, the map is very large and no easy to find lvl3 entrance. And I heard that once u found a close entrance map u can "lock" it and u can do that on and on ... is that true?

I guess "Single Player", but don't hold me to it!

You can't do that to Chaos since you do need to kill the 3 seal bosses.

Chaos and IM spook many people, poof and your merc is dead, and I don't play without my merc, so its back to town and messing to get his aura running again etc etc.

With Meph, once you get it wired, its a very fast run, and most seasoned MFers are really into speed.

not all mercs can be killed with im ^_^

thats why i like a1 mercs with decent gear to help me out with my bliz sorc to take out cold immunes and whatnot, well anyways meph is much much faster then dealing with the 3 mini bosses in chaos sanc.

i only run chaos for the exp cuz its not bad when u reach higher lvls killing everything with max players

Baal and Diablo have the best chance to drop but neither are easy for most players to reach without a risk of dying. A good Sorc can kill Pindle or Meph without losing 1 hp and it's faster than trying to open all seals or kill all of Baal's minions.

Tx guys... I will do a self-statistic run of both to see the difference since after fifty sth runs of chaos...nothing useful for my other characters dropped. May be when people talk about MF run they are counted in hundred instead of tens. Oh one more question... are there any godies which Bael can drop but not Dia? My tx in advance.

Tyraels and Templars might I think at least, there are a lot more then them.
