Re: 1.09 Roll Call - Goals, Progress, Finds
I've got a big find.
With Static Field lvl 17 you can use Static with the moat trick. With lvl 17 static, Mephisto is in range and won't attack you at all.
If you combine that with 1.09 static bugs, that means you can safely static mephisto to a sliver even with p3 or p8.
If you combine that with 1.09b and the ability to change players settings up to 64...
Right now I've been running hell mephisto on p16. I've got about 300% MF on me, negative resists and what not. But it's 100% safe, just moat trick him, static to a sliver and cast FW (or any ranged AoE attack, even orb reaches, but only barely).
The XP is good and it's very fast with some FCR. I tried going up to p32 but static didn't work at all. I find p16 to be quite good, since you still have to kill Mephisto with some spell - so really high player settings would slow down the process (even the sliver would take some time).
So I would recommend anyone starting 1.09b to do it with a sorceress. Just boost static field so you can start static moat tricking mephisto as soon as you reach him. That way you can lvl and get items at the same time in an efficient way. Remember, lvl 17 static field is enough, but I find that lvl 18 static field speeds up the process (because sometimes mephisto wanders off a bit).
