Great guide, very interesting, something different. Very good character to play for a starter/new realm.

hardcore mf char should stay away from those motherfucking dolls anyway.. and use either insight or reaper

Yeah, you're right, hardcore MF characters should never run Mephisto.

At 17 levels below Mephisto, your merc is getting insta-hit with every attack. Mercenaries won't do *well* until 85++ ish, iirc.


okey, so lvling should help

If you dont mind, I am going to grab this part here :

Quote (Sunforge @ Mon, May 14 2007, 03:44pm)
Hell Mephisto has 94,320 life in a 1 player game. Assume he has ~50,000 life after
Static Fielding, your merc tanks, and you�re usually �sweetspotting� (orb explosion inside
Mephisto's graphic).

1) 20 Frozen Orb/Cold Mastery minimum band: 267 dmg
-115% cold resist modifier vs. Mephisto�s 75% cold resist: 372 dmg
imperfect 12-shard �sweetspot� hit: 4,469 dmg
50,000 / 4,469 = ~11.18 casts to kill

2) 20 Frozen Orb/Ice Bolt/Cold Mastery, minimum band: 366 dmg
-115% cold resist modifier vs. Mephisto�s 75% cold resist: 512 dmg
imperfect 12-shard �sweetspot� hit: 6,149 dmg
50,000 / 6,149 = ~8.13 casts to kill

Basically, you waste 19 points in Ice Bolt to save yourself 3-4 casts of Frozen Orb to kill Mephisto.


And stick it into another post elsewhere for easy reference. If this bothers you, just let me know.

Hey, I've no problems with you quoting me, but I think it'd be easier just to link to the guide, no? Then there's context :>

Glad everyone's enjoying this; it's made a ton of my friends and forumers rich (who started with nothing or close to it).
