Hello,

I'm not aware if there is any rules for topics like this, my apoligize if there are!

So, the case is that im running a fanazealer atm and just reached hell. I instantly ran into some problems in act1 in hell and was wondering if there is any items that i need from NM still.

Items i've so far worth mentioning:

- Upg Butcher's Pupil
- SoE
- Crow Caw armor
- Rare gloves (20 ias + resists)
- Nat boots
- Life leech ring w. reists
- @Res amulet
- Charms with ress and some with max + AR

Merc:
- Tal mask
- Unique Partizan
- 350 def Stealth

To sum up, then i've decent resistance atm (40+ in all, in hell)

I was wondering if it's worth farming for Zaka shield from Meph NM (If its even possible to drop)

Hope you guys have some suggestions, that would be much appreciated

I wouldnt go Hell withous CBF mod.
Duriel's Shell or Raven Frost is a must from Meph!
Also Gore Riders + G-Face will double your damage.
Keep grinding Meph! Good Luck! :)

What about Vgaze instead of G-face, if it is the case that gaze drops before v-gaze? :)

EDIT: Would you use Duriels on merc or on yourself? I mean, shouldn't i farm the Lem for treachery for myself before hell?

V-gaze cool helm, also Tal mask gives nice dual leech.
Aim for Gores for a DS and CB if you don’t have luck with g-face
Use Duri on yourself. I would say Duri is good all around armour. If you don’t want to grind 2k-3k LK runs to get high runes to get Forti or Eni then Duri Shell, Shaftstop, Duress or Treachery are you end-game armours.

UPDATE

For you guys who gave some respons in form of tips and recommendations towards why topic, here is a little update.

After farming Meph and afterwards farming hell Countess for some Lem runes, here is what i've got:

Own Equipment:
- Gface (15 ias jewel)
- Upg. Butcher's Pupil
- Treachery Armor
- Double ress gloves
- SoE belt
- Goblin Toe
- Raven Ring
- Nagel 30% (for having some MF through progress)
- The Ward Shield (Haven't found anything better for now, but works with the @res)

Merc Equipment:
- Duriel's (Chose to use Threachery on myself, because i found it more valuable)
- Lawbringer Weapon (Good roll)
- Tal's Mask


I rarely run into problems so far in Act 1 (Close at Andy), so everything you guys recommended, have been a huge improvement!

EDIT: Surely using treachery requires fade to proq, otherwise my resistance is dangerous!

That's a solid setup. Laying of Hands would be of high priority to find in hell, huge damage boost for melee and the fire res is delish. Highlord's is hands-down the best amulet for your build :)

Yeah only problem with self-Treachery can be getting the initial Fade proc. Standing in a fire can be a good way to do it.
