2003 and doesn't know it's better in a full game


I guess he is in a better position on this website than a 2008 who has their gold locked and has been tagged a scammer. Heck, I am in a better position on this website than you.

Andy/meph for common uniques
AT for exp, hrs and high uniques like griffon/df/death web

P5-p8 have the same boss drops
P7 has the highest drop chances on non bosses

Id go for
100-150 cold mastery.
Maxing all synergies.
1pt shiver armor.
Warmth if it suits you
Static for more range is more a classic thing.

Oh, so a p5 or p8 for bosses is the same, good to know!
Thanks for the useful info, these were actually what i was looking for!

Just one question: why 150 cold mastery? Every guide I've read say to never go over 100% because it is useless. So why -150?

This is what I would hit with a character like that:
-Mausoleum since there are no cold immunes IIRC
-Ancient Tunnels
-Pop the super chests in Lower Kurast
-Andariel
-Mephisto
-Kill the Specters in Arcane Sanctuary

Basically high level areas with the lowest amount of cold immunes

Once you find some items like a 4os Eth Thresher or Giant Thresher (Those are the fastest bases for a Merc weapon) to make an Insight in so your Merc can help kill cold immunes, a good eth armor base socketed with the cube recipe for more defense to make Treachery in so your Merc can have more IAS, Venom & Fade and other helpful items, then start farming level 85 areas.


Thanks, especially for the mercs tips. I'll surely follow :-)

105fcr and killspeed > nerfing yourself with shitty items like changies and nagels


Hmm... I actually have 83 fcr... to reach 105 fcr, i should remove guards (for magefist) and 1x nagel, losing more than 50 mf. Is this really worth? I mean, with chain lightning would surely be worth, not sure for blizzard...

shots fired lmao

full game always is better than alone for chance to find items.
AT is "best" for overall mfing since you can find anything and there's only a slight chance of a cold immune. also gives much better exp and rune find as you already mentioned.
andy/meph if you want better chances of uniques, such as shako/hoz/jewelry/etc
-100% cm is beneficial for monsters with 0 cold res. if they have res you're not maximizing your damage output towards them with only -100%

lose the 50 mf and get 105 fcr if you continue with tele paths. if you end up only doing AT, you can stick with the next breakpoint and still be just as efficient.

Speed > MF by far, trust me. And if you dont its been proven many times and is quite general opinion. 150-250 is plenty
