spirit gives nice res. you can supplement with aldurs boots, 50 fr, as spirit does not give fire res.

I didn't tell him to use it over others. However 14 years have shown me you can beat D2 with just about anything if you try hard enough.

sexy necr

No.
15@/-15req Stormshield is nice for PVM Java.

Spirit has high str requirements and is impossible to max block. That's not worth it for 2 skills

why would you need ss and max block in pvm is beyond me.

Wow, you do not need the skills from Spirit, it is a nice shield, but nope.

Okay, okay, use it if you want in SC, in HC, I use Sanctuary in a Trolls Nest

Griffons for Helm, no great other choice it is more damage than 2 skills., but a Shako will work if you are mfing

I only play HC.

You don't need max block if your merc is using Kelpie, but I like it if he is using Infinity.

I tend to use War Travs unless I am doing an anti MF build, or when doing Ubers, I use hotspur, umm, I have beaten all the Ubers at the same time with Titans and Hotspur with a raven and dwarf star. In any case, I find I don't need the pierce belt, 66 or so % is pretty good I just gather all the cows and roast them. I play in 8 player games. I tend to end up around 40 or so lightning skill level. I do try to get Valk to 27 and max decoy, it's important for being able to group mobs.

Whats your ubers setup if you dont mind me asking? As far as the non light immune ubers they are easy with charged strike, but mephy is immune right?
