Problem with Treachery for fast boss runs is Fade can be quite inconsistent with when it procs. And of course Meph has 0 leech effectiveness in NM so a good leech helm like Tal mask is quite useless for the task.

If you're running as a sorc you should be able to take Meph down pretty fast with Static Field + Fireball, before he gets a chance to murder your merc.

Some other ideas to play around with might be Shaftstop for the extra life and huge DR%, or Kelpie Snare which will slow Meph down to a crawl and make his damage a non-issue. You'd lose out on Meditation aura then, of course.

Kelpie for me would be the go too for mephi runs. would be a game changer for survivability
