Just getting back into the game after a long time away, started with a frozen orb/fireball sorc and im level 42. Trying to make my first insight but not sure what base to put it in? I just found a 40s war scythe that my merc can hold but not sure if that's what I should put it in? Is that a decent low/mid level base or should I hold out for something else? Or just chug mana pots until I get an end game base?

Thanks for any knowledge/advice

Use whatever base you have early until you get an elite base. Just teleport a lot to try and keep your merc alive and stack resist. An easy setup would be smoke armor with rockstopper.

If your merc dies a lot, then resort to pots until elite bases drop and you can make better items to support. Fort, stone, whatever.

imo, any base that your merc can use is fine, you can upgrade from it soon enough and the runes aren't that hard to come by once you hit nm

Insight runes are cheap, and mid-game you do not rely at all on your merc dmg. Make an insight poleaxe if that’s all you got.
