I didn't know you had to kill frozenstein and all his minions before you could click on Anya. Well it was easy. Merc does crazy damage.



You wanna dance?? Not even preparing for this, no extra pots on the ground or in stash.



Madawc down. Easy.

Talic down. Easy.



Korlic down. He was cold immune but merc wrecked him. First try on Ancients, took 3 minutes total from start to finish.



On to the throne room. Wave 1.

Wave 2 was challenging. Skeletons were cold immune. I took out the horadrim with frozen orbs. Then I had to tele with merc on top of the skeletons to kill them. Natures peace made this less of a headache.



Third wave. We already know how to farm council without taking fire damage. Eth up'd G angel + crown of thieves.



Wave 4. No problem.

Wave 5. Slightly more challenging because merc kept getting stunned. used the pillar and boulder to funnel them so they couldn't surround us. THIS...IS...SPA-RTA!!! Wave 2 was the worst though.



BAAL! Down to less than half life in 3 shots of static field.



MF gear on, 350MF. Baal down. Nothing good.

id love to see gameplay videos of how you play this champ, is it mainly static to 50, glacial to keep em in place and let merc do the rest? or are you also using skills while merc pounds em down

Yep, I was pretty amazed, I guess you always learn something new from this game. This also means you can get Aldur's armor off a rack if you can get a shadow plate rack in a level 84 or 85 area (and Mavinas from a lvl 82 or above rack).

The build is very interesting and very fun, not a typical sorc build. I really enjoyed building it up.

Let me know what tools I have to use to make one! I've never made a video before. I have a Windows computer.

I usually tele next to the mobs, cast one frozen orb to freeze them, then wait for conviction to activate. Then I cast 3 static fields and for some reason it takes them below 50%. It's either a bug, or the intended behavior. I'm not sure which. I guess if monsters can resist static field, negative lightning resistance from conviction will make it do more damage. After static, I will mostly cast frozen orbs but with hard mobs (for example fanta, archers, lord de seis, council members, casters, and Ball waves 4 and 5) I will alternate frozen orb and glacial spike. In general, frozen orbs do most of the damage except in cases of cold immunes, where merc has to kill.

Right now I am doing some level 85 areas to build up a supply of purple pots, and then I do high council until I am out of pots. Repeat. This is a nice 20 lifer I found in the pits.



Another sick SC from the pits!



LOL, nice drop from the sparkly chest. Give me Gerke's, damnit!
