Attempting A New Enchantress Build

[Taem]

I know it's usually a bad idea to keep too much stuff in the inventory, but you could use more +skill items to prebuff energy shield and enchant. Memory staff is good for energy shield and "leaf" might be good for enchant. Then of course any +3 orb and a +1 shield like sigons or lidless is what I've been doing. Both spells typically last more than 10 minutes so there's little need for recasting. But still, a good accomplishment, considering my own enchantress never made it beyond nm act 4. But I'm sure, in hell every little bit matters.

With diminishing returns on energy shield, I wonder if it's better to do something like 10 energy shield/10 telekenisis and stocking up on manafe charms. Also MDR and -DR (not -dr%) will help quite a bit; high amounts of it will cause little to no damage transferred to you, given that your mana is still holding. I have a feeling your mana pool may not have been large enough, and you shouldn't worry about putting as mana charms as you can on your sorc, since blood mana isn't too bad for you and mana is easier to get than life.

One thing I did differently this time around is I took a cold arrow hireling from Act 1 - this part is cut-and-paste I'm sure for all players until the get the mercenary they desire - and kept her! A friend of mine found a demon-machine and gave it too me, so I gave my merc my Kuku, skeptical that it's exploding arrow properties would work for her but guess what.... they DID! It's like she does freezing, exploding arrows! And her damage with my enchant is to die for! Without a doubt a game changer for me... in more ways that one. Now I don't have any good physical damage to take out fire immunes (my last merc could dish out good physical damage too) so I have to avoid fire immune monster areas without escort.

I was reading another guide that says Lighting mastery and T.storm are a great combo also. I kind of wish I went that route, but this new enchantress is already level 70 so...
