LK delivers, now ready to make Infinity...question now is whether to put it in my eth CV or wait for eth GPA.

Ber #1, following the second drop pattern in the old LK thread:

(The forum doesn't seem to be doing thumbnails anymore...I'm just putting the link in img tags and I thought it used to make a thumbnail. Not sure what's wrong.)
 
It seems like some of the posters above are finding what i was looking for in LK. Still got a couple of nice things there.

I realise I've really screwed myself with my Mercenary.

He's Prayer (had him since Normal)... And I never traded him over to Might or Holy Freeze when I was in Nightmare. The trouble is that he's still reasonably squishy (only equipped with a Skin of the Flayed One / Tal Rasha's Crest / Insight Paritzan).

The only reason I don't want to change difficulties and grab a different merc is that I have the best Mephisto map ever (next room is lvl 3 Durance from TP), already know where Countess is (easy ports too), and Andariel is even three or four TPs away from the Catacombs 2 Waypoint. To top it all off I've got double-campfires in LK (one is right next to the portal), and Ancient Tunnels always spawns a ton of Champions or Boss Packs.

Maybe I should bite the bullet one day and just go with a Barb Merc instead of changing difficulties, and lose my beautiful potless existence.

A different aura won't do much to change his squishiness. Best to just level him up while you try to get him some stronger gear. If I'm using a sorc with an insight merc I actually prefer the Prayer merc for the sweet life regen. (I am the laziest potion drinker you'll ever see who plays HC)
 
@Psycho

I can only repeat LiquidClears words here. Your problem is not your merc aura, it's his items. No matter what aura merc you pick, he would be squishy with items like that. There are several ways to increase your mercs survivability. Most important one is to have lifeleech with decent damage. You have lifeleech, but you also have exceptional base insight. Make insight in any elite polearm, that will raise his survivability and killing speed.
Second way is to raise his resistances, be it elemental or physical, depends on what you need. Armor your merc is using is rather poor in my eyes. Not all targets are leechable, for some targets you rather need resistances than lifeleech, against some you don't need lifeleech at all. Shaftstop and Guardian Angel are amazing merc armors, they will make your merc much stronger tank. You have more options, those two are cheap. As for head, Crest is not bad for merc, but Vampire Gaze is sometimes much better choice, Andy Visage is possible too.
Third way is to have BO from cta. Having 4+k hp merc is beautiful.

Nothing wrong with Prayer merc, I use it too sometimes. If you don't wanna lose your maps, then you don't have to, simply put better gear on your merc to make him stronger. Some items I mentioned are really easy to get.

I challenge you to a no pots off! (no pants off?)

I pretty much only use prayer + insight <3

Unless I'm playing a character that uses the might aura (like bowa or zealot) I always do prayer + insight. I to hate potions.

Hey....I just had a fun (evil) idea for a tournament!

no potions? Truly unfair. . . I would take up the challenge as long as town trips are allowed and insight + prayer. Maybe also rerunning?
 
An intensive D2 weekend ... Most notable drops were Natalyas armor and Shako in AT; then 4 Fals, Carrion wind and worst possible AR roll on Raven frost. I was hoping for something better, to be honsest (still looking for that Ber or fourth Sur, heh), but it's ok.
 
Run #14,729 with my Nova Sorc (recorded for just this purpose). Better than the 1:33,000 drop odds (though I have been running with other characters). Actually got a Cham Rune along the way.
