What could be my next upgrades? And easiest place to find them.
I seem a little squishy in hell act 1 when it comes to ranged attackers.

Current gear:
Helmet - 1pally 14dex 2 socket (empty)

Armor - 26/12 viper (not upd yet)

Belt - 17fhr 19str 15 life (needed str at the time)

Gloves- magefists (single upd)

Boots - upd infernostrides (nice fire res boost)

Weapon - 30+ fcr spirit

Shield - 30+ fcr spirit royal shield (29 base res)

Amulet - 1pally 5+ fcr 14all res

Rings - 10 fcr with dual res

Secondary ring - opposing dual res.


Res in hell are 30+
60-65 % block (haven't restated since I found viper)

Merc is super squishy and he wears
Upd duriels
Gull helm
CV insight

Life leech + treachery for your merc.

SoE is very nice as well with low gear, try to fix your str on other items.

Mephisto nightmare for merc helm + SoE, maybe new rare ring with str. If you find early merc helm u can go andy for SoE and maybe a lucky soj.

Is your CV eth or will u have str problems without guili/duriels?

Guili/duriels would bother the insight.
I don't need the str from the belt anymore. I just used stats to fix it after I got the levels. So im sure soe would be best choice.
Thanks for advice.

Im assuming I need to get max block as soon as possible for hell, right?
I was actually just rerunning hell countess to try and find a couple lem ko sets to up viper and magies.
Hoping to find a good insight \ spirit shield bases along the way from racks.

Running p8 until I reach door of tower 5 and p1 countess. Throwing in some p8 crypt and mausoleums to mix up the boredness

better viper
SoE/dungos
aldurs

ebug treachery
tal helm/cot
less str base insight for above

until the typical enigma/hoto/maras or 2/10+, etc.
yes get max block asap. no reason you shouldn't already have it. holy shield makes it 2ez.
you should be able to do pits fine when you find SoE.
