Well I just love my act 2 combat (prayer merc). I had him since lvl 10 and has been faithfully by my side up til now (lvl 87). He is my Fireball/Orb sorc meat shield and healer. This is my first sorc built and I'm quite happy with the results. Especially since i recently received a etheral Bonehew from hell Meph that does 800+ dmg. Now with his new equip, he is able to survive River of Flames solo. Plus the sLvl 18 Prayer heals all my dmg while he knocks all the monster around.
Here is a list of his equip:
Etheral Bonehew (socket with AM and Nef)
Blackhorns
900 def armour +lightning and +cold resist
Well the weapon in my opinion is very very good. I love the Nef for knocking back and loosen all the groups of monsters charging at me. Plus knock interrupts their attack and protects the merc too. From that observation I put Knock back as important as life leech for a melee merc's equip. The %50 to cast lvl 16 Bone Spear is awsome too for ripping thru the groups and magic dmg (for those damn bosses with cold and fire immunes :angry: )
The Blackhorns I just put so that he wouldn't die in those close melee combats with Lightning enchanted bosses. It actually heals him since my merc has full lightning resist. Very handy for a low def sorc. Just stand behind him and cast spells away.
I'm still working on the armour for better resist and def especially fire resist since that is the only problem I seem to be having with the merc. He has 53 resist all naked.
Well I'm consider a noob I guess so if I seem too satisfied with my equip, please excuse me. This is actually my first high lvl char/merc so I'm very satisfied with the results. :)
