Use a lower base infinity yoursefl instead of hoto+spirit, the minus enemy light resistance increases your damage greatly.
If on a budget, use crescent moon runeword in a crystal sword for the same arguements above.

go with self wield infy, insight for merc then.
105fcr for the sorc.
if you go budget:
Griffons
Viper
maras
mages
10fcr ring
soj
arach
treks

if you want to spend more change maras for a 2/20 amu, mages for frosts, rand 10fcr ring for opal and treks for triple res or psn res + mana boots

vipermagi (non upped)
2/10 amu (or 3/10)
self wield infinity (low str req)
cta + splendor (low str req)
magefist (non upped)
LITE SUNDER

boots can be 30/10 psn resist or treks if you want to invest a few points into str. It's a very low impact slot...


20pt TK
enough for total lvl 40 ES


merc:
a2 prayer
insight
cure
coh
(triple hp regen + mana regen + life steal + psn reduction)

pros:
105 fcr so very fast, ES makes you tanky (except for souls and other mana burners), stunlocks most enemies, static does half their hp

cons:
low mf (which may not be a con if you are searching for a white base)
slow at killing bosses (andy and mephy don't seem too slow, but diablo and baal are slow)
souls and other mana burner areas are very dangerous
isn't a portal barb

I see many problim here

For instant
You're choice of weapons armor and shields is seriously sub optional
Theyre are two top tier buolts for this class and which one u chose come down to personnel preferences
Like the kid above me says
Coh eschuta jmode is genitally consider the best in slut for raw damag
Some would argue self weld infidity is bettor but the clear times are aimilar
So just go with what u prefer
