Ancient's Pledge will solve all of your res issues on normal. You can get the Ral/Ort/Tal runes from Countess with some cubing, and any 3 socket shield will do.
Does your levels affect your chance to hit?
1) My main damage source is 3 TS Charged DTail. This means that it doesn't really matter what damage my Weapon does. I'm only concerned for my attack speed, and what possible bonus mods I can get from the Weapon.
2) Claw Mastery is hence not important. My TS hits doesn't need to hurt, as long as my DTail does.
Right now looking further ahead, my main problem will probably be PI/FI monsters. There are 3 routes which I'm considering, and I'm seeking some opinions.
a) Venom + DTalon. TS/DTail will probably last me a while more till I can get my secondary Venom + DTalon going. I think it will require me to get some CB equipment for the Switch. How will it fair against PI/FI monsters?
b) CoT + PS. This will require me to use a Claw. Like before, I don't think the Claw damage is important. So there's no need for Claw Mastery. But I read that I need to be using 2 Claws. Is this true?
c) Lightning Sentry + Death Sentry. Personally, I think it's damage might be lacking due to my lack of +Skills and not maxing the other synergies. I highly doubt this is a good route to go.
Lastly, my Merc is having issues. Currently, I threw my old Chipped Topaz Helm + Ringmail on him. He is also using a random magical 4%LL Pike. Is there anything I should do to change his setup? Once again I'm currently in NM Act 1 Countess.
Having just recently played with character with maxed DS, I can say that a big radius makes it all the more powerful.Well isn't the main purpose of Death Sentry the CE? So wouldn't leaving it at level 1 be enough? Or is the extra radius that important?
CE also does Physical/Fire, so it won't affect PI/FI. Is doing ~1k Lightning damage Death/Lightning Sentry enough?
Since CB doesn't work on PI, I don't see why I should go for DTalon. That leaves with option b and c. So the main reason why you use 2 claws for CoT is that with 1 use of it, I can potentially get 2 charges? Otherwise I'm probably build charges at the same speed as my TS? I don't see much problems with this though haha.
Lastly, is Crescent Moon runeword a good choice for my main weapon? Of course I'm open to using other weapons, but Shael Um Thul looks obtainable and it's mods seems useful to last me a long while.
