Big problem with stuff vs new stats!

[Lindstrom]

I gonna make a MF sorcs and I have some few problems.

1st problem: I have a 4 isted monarch witch I want to use. Its 156 str :undecided:
How should I do to save as many stats as possible to get 156 str? Use str charms? :scratch:

2nd problem: Witch combinations attacks is most useful? FO/Meteor? I want to do safely Andy/mephi/pit/red tp at anya :grin: / contuness runs.

3rd problem: I want to use all my mf at same time and have good resist/ still alive. But should i skip that monarch shield and find some other?

4rd problem: How I got good resist+MF+damage as possible at same time?

I use tal plate+tal amulet+tal belt+shako+wt+occu+chance guards, thats not a good combination to get high res :worry:

Sorry for my bad english.

Hope you can help me out this trouble!

Thank u //Lindstrom

1/ If you need more str, try enigma. Gives a heap of strength, along with nice mf and +2 skills.

2/ FO/Meteor is fine 99% of the time.

3/ Best is to change shield, but if you reallt want that mf (i know, that shield aint very cheap), try switching occu for wizardspike. 75% all res = sweet. Also mana/cast rate cant be wrong for teleporting.

4/ As above. Charms help a good bit too. But wizardspike is a key, really. Socketing shako with um rune is a good help too.

1. You should use Spirit monarch anyway, also 156 str req.

2. Meteorb. You will still need a decent merc for Pit + Countess.

3. As I said, Spirit gives superior res / fhr / skill / fcr, which is very good for Pits + area mf. Only do the Gull / 4 Ist Monarch switch just before killing Pindle / Andy / Meph. Wizardspike is also good for fast tele to Meph / Andy.

4. Use res / skill charms instead of MF.

Have no enough to get some res charms. They are to expensive atm. What stuff you think my merc need for still alive? not to expensive.

Thanks for this info guys!

Duriel Shell, Tal Helm, Insight if you go CL/FO, Obedience/Reaper's Toll for Meteorb. That's probably the cheapest merc gears. Of course you can use better items with a higher budget.

2nd problem--Everytime I make a meteorb I always windup using Fball instead. I rarely use meteor. Mostly when my merc gets mobbed.

3rd problem--I am sure you have heard this before but its generally worthless to go above 400mf because your dmg drops too much, your res suffer too much and for very tiny unique bonus and a small rare bonus. Your more frequent dying and slower kill speed will easily wipe out that small gain.

4th problem-- Its called full Tals, which you as duel element sorc should embrace. 400mf is easy to get with it on, you will do more damage, your res will be in excellent shape and you can still use a baba and your shield on switch for bosses. Honestly if you break down the stats for using tal orb/helm over occy/shako you will see that its a no brainer.

tal helm (ptopaz), tal arm (ptopaz), tal ammy, tal belt, tal orb (ist), 2x nagel, chancies and Spirit mon will give you the dmg, res, fhr, fcr and mf you need.

your merc will appreciate vgaze,shaftstop and any polearm that adds leech, dmg, fhr, life, ctc skills and ias. Bonehew, Reapers, Tomb Reaver, Obediance are all affordable and have worked well on many a merc.

in this case is it not better to max fire bolt than FM if you use fire ball more than meteor?
