+5 IG wand
Good Black base right before Ancients...
And the WP.

So this is where I'm at, and I'm going to be here for a bit. I tried Ancients, and they are currently impossible. Squishy merc dies too quickly, and I can't effectively separate them because he also charges in and attacks instead of following me back behind the door.
I'm not sure if I really want to do the 1000+ Andy, Meph, LK, Heph, Eldrich, Sharptooth, Frigid chests, Pindle runs it's going to take to find this:
- Rockstopper/V Gaze
- Shaftstop
- G Face
- Um rune
- Lem rune
- Ko rune
The reason behind that gear is because I think my merc is going to need 40-50% DR and I'm going to need a minimum of 50% CB to effectively beat the Ancients. My DPS is too slow to cut them down, and my merc can't tank long enough.
