I do plan on investing in shockwave, and I have though of using staves. The last no_stats character had a staff with 47-75 fire damage, but alas he never got to use it. The staff was level 26, and the account was gone while he was still level 25. Currently, he is using a rare spear with 22 max damage socketed with a normal emerald (42 poison damge I think). I used the emerald because it was the biggest gem I had at the time. (got it from andariel).
Thanks for the offer of the ring, but I'm not going to use it. I would like to take this character as far as possible without twinking. If I twinked this character giving it, for instance, the rib_cracker that Baajikiil mentioned I think it would become too easy. He will have to rely on good finds. Due to this, I plan on saving any MF gear he finds and maybe doing some MF runs. I know most Lurkers don't like MF runs, but this character is going to be so equipment dependent that I think it's going to be needed.
I haven't deceided which merc will be best. I've narrowed it down to act2 mercs, but I'm not sure which one. The choices are blessed aim, holy freeze, and might. I am leaning towards might. At the moment he is using a prayer merc. Hopefully as I play him more I will learn what merc will best help him.
I hope that he can make it though NM, but I think Baajikiil is correct in thinking that he won't make it in Hell. Even NM will be difficult unless I find a very good weapon.
