If your main goal before progress is Titans, I suggest not playing /p8.
My java runs nm meph atm with 150-200 mf if I am right.
P2 has about 1:620 and p8 1:680 chance to drop titans and kill speed is a big difference. You will do much more runs on p2 than on p8 in X hours with similar drop chance.

What skill distribution do you have at the moment?

To keep merc from taking damage, buy Life Tap wand @ akara and give him that juicy 100% hp during the whole fight :)


Oh man that would speed it up a bit. I got a life tap wand and I need to cast 2 until meph is dead.
Running with 150mf.

Skills: 1 into pierce with pre-req and 1 into decot. Rest into CS/fury/dmg.
Stats: str for eq, max block (rhyme atm) and rest vita.

Maybe P3-5 something then?

Just do p3. Same drop chance as p8. Nn for lt wand atall if you lure meph to hit you. That can be done by runing towards him right into its face (meph attacks always who is closest to him).
This way you dont need to swap tele staff - lt wand.
And on p3 it is matter of seconds to take down meph with cs. And you can easy get 300+mf and kill him np

E: some cb on merc also helps

I don’t think the drop rate is the same. From p5/p8 it’s the same but for p3, iirc, it’s slightly lower (not that 1:20 odds make it a drastic difference) but still way better.

I’d run p3, until you get decent cb and then run p5 until you’re done. That’s usually what I do

For titans itself, there’s barely any difference even p1/p8 on nm meph.
Ofc it increases chance to drop by adding player difficulty but kill speed is not worth it
