kill speed > mf
no need max block. sorc is squishy, just keep your distance.
cant kill if ur killed first.
theres a setting in your bots file where you can set merc stomp.
reapers toll only gets 1os with socket quest.

Hi, I know this topic has been discussed a million times by now but id still like to ask some basic questions

-treachery vs fort -- i currently have my merc using a 3.9kdef efortsa. What kind of base would I need to build treachery to upgrade? and why if you dont mind
-how much mf -- peope at this point have had many bots running for a very long time. Someone who has done this for a long time, what is the most optimal mf (I'm mostly concerned with finding rares)
-where to mf -- as a light sorc what areas are my best options, or do i just clear all level i85 areas?
-max block -- worth going for or no?
-weapon -- hoto vs eschuta?
-griffon -- ist vs cham vs jah vs 5/5 in os?
-distance in cs -- is there a way to make my sorc tele closer to the light immune monsters? my sorc will spam lightning with my merc out of range
-chain lightnin -- do you ever use chain lightning or just lightning all the way when clearing?

Also for a mfdin
If i cannot afford a reapers toll with 3 15/40 whats the best temp? a toll with 3 15/xx? obedience or an insight?

I know i can find the info by searching and sifting through so i appreciate anyone taking the time to answer my questions

Thanks in advance :)

i prefer treachery but on a light sorc forty is fine too

enigma + gheeds is all you need for mf.

chaos baal pits best for light sorcs

no max block

weapon cmoon. optimal pvm gear is this: griffons facet, 2/17/all res or fire/light res ammy, cmoon, enigma, spirit, trangs, arach, aldurs or bi res boots with 30+ fire/light, soj/bk --- anni torch gheeds, as many skiller as you can get, rest 20/11 fire/light scs to cap 75. ignore poison and cold

you should always tele near the monsters so that they are effected by conv aura but far enough that they will focus your merc and you won't get hit. sounds very logic, right?! :P it's a matter of exercising. play her and you will get better and faster in positioning

i only use chain lightning if the density is very high. in cs and wsk/throne it happens sometimes. in pits only sometimes in lvl 2


my advice for merc on hammerdin --> treachery, gulli (cham), reapers (ber)

Cresent moon is a better weapon to use.
