Summon Druid (merc and summons doing all the tanking/Damage)
1st Question:

What gloves do you think would fit my situation better once I toss my insight?
I have 4 pairs of gloves on hand. (not on my hands :rofl: )
~Upp'd bloodfists (fhr,life)
~Magefists (regen mana)
~Frostburns (increase mana)
~Up'd Chanceguards (mf purpose only so i'd say once i enter hell these will be charsi'd)

Gear setup at that moment would be:
Helmet - +3 grizzly 3 socket (3x P topaz until i find IST for delerium)
Weapon - Spirit Sword
Armor - Viper Magi (UM'd)
Shield - Mosers (Double Perfect Diamond)
Boots - 30 frw, 10fhr, 6 dex, cold/fire res
Belt - String of Ears (if i ever find the damn thing)
Ring 1 - Ravenfrost
Ring 2 - Dwarf Star
Gloves - I was thinking Bloodfists with FHR/Life IF no mana problems after insight is gone
Amulet - Currently Using 11 All res + Lighting res, 24 MF
Amulet switch possibilities:
~ +3 Summon (can't get any good mods besides life or mana, I believe )
~ +2 Druid/Summon (and some mods, hopefully a caster craft with a little resis mods)



2nd Question

What merc gear should i start hell with?

Act 2 might
Hone Sundan (swap to reapers toll when i find it) Maybe shael, shael, amn
Shaft or Treachery
Guli or Rockstopper or Tals Mask

Then when i come to act 2 and find alot of Physical immunes and not lucky enough to find reapers toll:
Act 5
Lawbringer
Shaftstop or treachery
Guli or Rockstopper or Tals Mask

Mana for recasting summons or casting shockwave. But info of frosties > mages is helpful :thumbsup:


Does physical immune block crushing blow or crushing blow works for all immunes?

Treachery > shaft ?????

positive physical resist does affect crushing blow dmg (but not negative resist)
treachery>>shaft
if your zoo does all the dmg maybe you can try using lawbringer yourself to proc amp?

Lawbringer on the char could work, if I just kept ribby in stash for bosses if I would even need it with guli and hone sundan merc.

But me going in close could be a crazy risk

I dont really need fcr for summoning or shockwave.
Magi+ spirit sword would be around 60% minimum

Shows 63% being a bear fcr breakpoint
Next bp being 99

Is the outcomes I understand would be best to start hell with.
Socket the guli helm before I enter hell.
And that will leave me my hell socket quest to use for something later when I get that bad ass rare +5 grizzly pelt to take the spot of delerium
