im really stuck on what to choose

blizz ?
hydra?
frozen orb/light ?


will be wanting to do:
key runs
mephisto
cows

but countess is fire/cold immune and meph is light immune

was thinking a lower res wand but will this work on countess ?

whats everyone starting with ?

for me it is always cold/fire hybrid. not the most efficient I guess, but it works. also has flexibility which spells to choose. I favor fireball/blizzard, but meteor (although I hate the skill)/hydra (with the new patch) respectively orb (don't like this one too much either) work as well. pick one skill from each skill tree with it's synergy and some points in masters and you are good to go

you cant have it all,

Blizz: best for meph / cows

Hydra: decent for keys, can do meph, slow in cows

Hybrid: meh can do all content but not very fast anywhere

maybe go hydra its fresh and new, can also do tc 85 stony tomb or hydra orb if you want hybrid

Full blizz + act2 good dps merc, you can add chaos with seal bug.

Countess + minions: your merc kill it + static
Nihlathak : skip when cold immune
Cows: very boring with blizz
Mephisto : because of him, you need to be one element

Nothing easy, but all doable.

lite cuz count nihl cold immune yw

yeeah with static meph and andy arent too bad either, get some fcr and do light/nova is sick

Static let your Merc own
