Anything Goes D2 Lounge!

Thanks for the replies guys.

Yeah I will keep working on holy shield and once that is high enough and I'll get torch, I'll respec for dex for blocking.

I did sucessfully pat him today and in the end it wasn't so bad. The problem mostly was that I was still in the "rush" mentality from cruising through the game as fast as possible (well while getting all WPs and doing all quests) so I was not nearly as careful as I should have been. Once I slowed down a notch and played more safe, I managed to get through the WSK and Baal just fine (though I did for the first time lowered the /p setting to 1 solely for the second wave because I was not interested in baby sitting the merc for quite a while and waiting for long minutes before he would solo the /p8 magic immunes. I put the /p8 back for wave 3 and further).

I did few chaos runs since then and while I do have to be careful a little bit (and very careful with de seis) it's definitely fine. Though the rejuv usage is still pretty high.

I'll keep running chaos with him when I get burned out of LK. However playing and enjoying the 'din changed my priorities in RW making. I planned on making Infinity first but now I am 95% I'll just make Enigma first.
 
Something not mentioned yet is using a Delirium hat on the merc. Confused enemies are not targeting you! For my 1.14 hammerdin without CTA long ago this worked well, but ymmv. The Insight merc then needs a life leach armour which is a bit of a restriction as an understatement.

Delirium is however not recommended for Baal running as at least in 1.14 the AI spells bug the wave spawning.
