light sorc merc gear

hey guys i currently have a lvl 90 light sorc who is PURE light. Doing chaos runs/baal. My merc using kiras, gurdian angel and a low dmg infin. Now dealing with iron maiden in chaos is one of my biggest problems for my merc.

If i equip him with eth cv infin or something he does too much dmg and iron maiden takes him out easy.

If i equip him with low dmg infin he does too little to light immunes that are even immune to the infin aura so i cannot dmg them.

What do you guys recommend i do? Also if you guys have better gear builds for him thatd be appreciated as well. I have quite a bit of currency so just list me what would be the best for him. Thanks again. (im sure this is in this forum somewhere just too many posts to search)
 
This actually probably comes down more to your strategy, no matter what IM is gonna kill any melee character in a couple hits, the amount it multiplies the damage somthing like 10x I think is deadly even unarmed. You need to be more defensive, keep tele'ing backwards to keep the merc off the knights while he has IM on, and keep casting your lightning skills till they're dead. if it's a light immune OB that you can't break you might want to start carrying another orb around with +FO and +Cold skills on it to twiddle him down.
 
prepare for the 50k, that's all you have to do, no one can keep merc live all the time, but just reduce the chance of dying.
some tips:
run instead of teleport, if you run in front of your merc, the knight will cast the curse on you, not your merc, once they have casted, then back off and let the merc come on, there always a interval time between 2 curses a knight can cast.
 
You have no choice, we have to admit it. Pure light sorc cannot match Pallies in CS because of this.

You can try to:

a) Tele somewhere else and then tp back town
b) Keep teleing around Knights and hope they change they switch to another curse
c) Make infinity out of low dmg polearm (scythe/voulge)
d) Prepare 50k

Still these method won't 100% correct your problem.

or... Change your whole sorc build (unfortunately not only your merc build). I've seen nova/orb sorc totally owning CS in 8 player game using a3 merc.
 
hmm... I take a completely different approach than you guys. I simply plan to equip the infinity :grin:. I use an eth ca infinity, so the str req is no problem. However, what makes me worried ATM is the dexterity req. prob gonna switch to boots with a high dex bonus until I get a cv infinity. Any ideas on how to get more dexterity?

I'd say just make an infinity out of a scythe or a voulge. You don't the physical dmg on it.



 
why not just make a infinity in a scythe or a low str / dex weapon? i have a few light sorcs who carry the infinities themselves and use those.
 
carrying infinity yourself does not solve the problem, because you can not tank the monsters, you still need your merc around and also some of the monster immunity can not be break by infinity ( lighting echant lord de si as an example)
