any help would be much appreciated

no merc.

my paly is level 80

Gear:
Helm-guillaume's face
Armor- COH
Belt- Verdungo's Hearty Cord (15%)
Weapon- Grief Phase Blade
Shield- Hoze
Boot- Gore Rider
Amulet- Highlord's Wrath
Gloves- Dracul's Grasp (10ll)
rings - raven frost and 5ll BK

you need to have 75% block
add a ber to your hoz - make sure its upped
use t gods
get treachery armor and pre fade in the fire near act 4 wp before you fight bosses, especially mephisto.
fill your invent with life charms

dont get how u die.

Get a life tap wand to precast it so you dont have to be waiting for it to procc

Otherwise your gear is perfectly fine

Get a hdin to tele to bosses and get bo Barb loader to precast.. this is a crucial way to stay alive. All.above tips also....

Tbh I did better with gear like 4 pdiam 45 @res shield and guardian angel some resist charms and full inv of life charms minus what I need to pickup organs and torch. Died 2 times ever and both times because I tried switching auras on meph from conv to fanat. But using salvation is way better for him then tons of res and fanat.

And yes proc fade ofc b4 thoz. Slot a few psn potions Andy. Precast lifetap. So many tips but best I say is BO baba indefinitely and hdin to tele clear B4 boss.
