i swapped out andy's for deli on my sorc's merc awhile and I loved it

those curses prevent way more damage to my merc than that amount of life he would have gained by leeching with the andy's. it's a net positive for survivability



I tried deli on my blizz sorcs merc for a while, and it increased overall survivability a LOT, but I had some issues with it. Even with prayer merc I was still missing him having life leech but that’s the least of the issues.

The worst was that it often caused game crashes, which in single player, causes you to lose any progress you’ve made in your current game.

The way I play blizz sorc is mostly the same concept as cow herding in the cow level. Group the enemies up while static and blizzard make quick work of them.
When delirium casts confuse, it makes the enemies impossible to herd together and therefore takes longer to kill them all.

I find that asking people what gear is best for something is a good way to get suggestions but eventually your gear will kind of balance out into the gear that matches your play style and preferences.

I loved using reapers on my non-Tele hdins merc because the decryp slowed everyone down and I was able to chase/hammer targets a lot easier. Since then I’ve found a decent eth base insight and prefer not having to rely on salv/mana pots so much, but I miss the slower targets. If you don’t need the mana, reapers is very helpful. As for the armours I’m not very helpful at this stage. Best I’ve managed to Mf so far is a shaftstop and gaze.
