Its been a while but big update here:







I pushed trough a2 hell today and have now reached lower kurast. No real gear upgrades, just an amulet with 22 tele charges so i can reposition.

Killspeed slowed down quite a bit and had to skip some packs. I teled through maggot lair and arcane. Fighting just wasnt an option. Lots of people claim that summoner ist really easy untwinked, but on players 8 i have to disagree. Without decent gear skellies to almost no damage and die rather fast vs tough packs. My merc still uses an eth normal polearm insight, so he struggles with harder packs as well.

Im not sure what to farm now. I dont think hell andy or meph are and option at the moment. Should i go LK or do very slow pit runs? Or back to nm and get some stuff like waterwalks, maybe homunculus, etc..

I tried rolling a meph map on nm but got tired of it.

Any pointers?

Enjoyable read my friend for sure :thumbsup:
What lvl are you now?
I would say your merc really needs a weapon upgrade asap, is hone sundan an option or is insight a must?

Lvl 84 now. But the last lvls didnt really do much. Im putting points into bonewall atm, to improve bone armor.

Only found 2 elite polearms so far, but rolled 2 and 5 sockets. I could make honor and see how it goes.

I maxed CE so losing insight will probably suck...

I would do some pit runs maybe in p1 to get a base for insight, you can try to find a weapon rack in lk too.
Once your merc is equipped, I would do meph (homunculus) and andy runs (soj) in nightmare
I would do lots of lk runs too (ist for delirium and um for bone), just be careful... use dim vision.

Try to Farm lk for highrunes to build beast and maybe Enigma or countess on p1 for mid runes to build Treachery,maybe Delirium for mob control and insight or obedience
Once your merc will be Equiped you can try to Farm Andy/meph for shako, arach etc
Countess may also drop Spirit runes and monarchs in tower lvl 1-5
You might also look for homunculus if you decide to aim for maxblock

Finally an update here. As i already wrote i sticked to LK for a while. I dont use a run counter but i think i did about 1000 - 1300 runs over the last weeks. Here are the results:

Sur/Ohm/Mal where all in within 100 runs, Ohm and Mal where in two back to back runs.

Also found this while trying pits on P8

The Elite polearm was a really big upgrade for me. With amp and might the merc dps is quite allright even on p8. After i got bored with LK i decided to progress into act 4 to get the +2 skills from izual. Travincal and Meph werent that hard tbh, i didnt take any screenshots.

Used rattlecage on merc vs izual. Was faster that the norm kill.



I then decided to do my HF Quest, since there are so many potentially useful runes. Lem for better treachery, Pul for Hoto or cubing, Um for Bone, Mal for cta, Ist for cta, Gul for cubing Vex ....

I got the Sand Worms and Grotesques in RoF so i kept chugging mana pots and blasted my way towards Hephaisto.



I was really excited for the reward, so many useful runes to get a decent upgrade:



FML :fume:

i grabbed the RoF WP and will probably go back to LK. Had some decent rune luck there and only need a few more mid runes for some big upgrades.

Did some andy and meph runs on p3. No real issues but they take quite a while. Gear upgrades:



Nice
