Running CS as a blizz sorc on hardcore, so I need my merc to kill the cold immune like de seis.

I've heard eth reapers toll is the best? But it's also pretty expensive especially on hc.

I'm currently running non-eth reapers toll/treachery/gaze. It works out okay, but on larger player groups I could use more damage.

I was wondering if an eth insight CV would be better. I could sure use the meditation.

Thanks. I'm using treachery and gaze too (guillames = merc dies too much = slower runs).

fg for help

He could benefit from an ias jewel in that vamp or reapers it both (I think 75ias is final bp?)

Honestly you're rocking to correct weapon, especially on HC. Decrep so safe. Obedience is an option, but I bet he'll die more without decrep. Fort could add more damage, but price....

So maybe try to up your damage and give a better runway for Merc against immunes?

Also what are you running? Single player, online with others, player setting? You may just want to run non cold immune champ packs and vizier+infector. De seis is lethal and isn't TC85 or whatever and neither is Big D

yeah to hit 75 I'd need 30more from 45-treachery.

hardcore online, i do okay running players1 by myself but I want to be able to solo chaos with a full game whjile everyone is doing baal or whatever.

I thought big D was high enough to drop anything? what exactly do you mean?

Just run the 2 seals on the wings, and any boaspacks along the way that aren't cold immune (including river of flame between wp and CS). The boaspacks in chaos can drop anything, but seal bosses and diablo are capped a bit. So if you're struggling with them, you could skip them and improve run times. Better mf results over time
