if u a lil bit underlvl'd, max telekenesis and get lvl40 es first - static at last

I appreciate all the advice

She's level 91

I’m the big fan of skin of flayed 7/24 and it’s most effective with prayer/insight/cure, for synergies and mass rep.

With ES sorc you’re losing a big synergy without insight.

Coh is way to go.

Makes sense, appreciate you taking the time to share!

Yeah I rolled a -55 infinity scythe so....yep gonna use that lol

really loving how smooth this feels now over my previous setup. Life gain is loads better with insihgt on merc and mana is obviouslymuch better as well in terms of how quick it regens, but it is also 25% smaller pool without frostburn (need fcr glove)

Question regarding the skin: I hear that replenish life doesnt work on mercs, is that true? Guess i foesnt matter that much though cause he aint dying unelss I let him stand near a firing squad

Also- what do you socket in it?

Cta staff with es and an armor skill will help tremendously. That way you can invest less points into ES. You want to make sure it’s at 95% absorb. I think that’s 40 total so the staff helps you cut down a lot. At 91 I had my skills are set without compromise. I use frostburns for more mana since it’s your life pool. Otherwise all the other recommendations look great.

Never heard that.

It most definetely does, or the prayer/med/cleanse combo would be further down the line then it is, what it doesn’t do is seem to be a noticeable on merc as opposed to on player.
All mercs have a slight regen of life with act 5 being king, with noticeable life rep.

Life rep mainly comes into play with poison, even with cure, a high level poison nova from tz andy can grape your merc.
All of this needs to be taken with a grain of salt as it could be my own bias, and wanting it to work.

Thanks- yeah I'm working on getting one. I could get a base and make one, but that's risky- but they're spendy.

Hard to find as well. If you do find a base I would just make it since the BO rolls can always be rerolled.

Memory staff will help you get to that sweet 40 Energy shield where you start getting single digit damage through. if you can't get to 40 Energy shield, I wouldn't bother with it honestly and go full Vitality.
