Ohhh........Lammer is a Lammerdin aka Hammerdin.....dunno which of these expressions is just known in germany!
Yeah I´m afraid that would be fastest to farm Eni in LK before anything else...dunno if I can do that tho. MB farm a LO and go from there until 1 BER missing and not 3! :F However I was also wondering about XPing from say 96-98.....I really don´t like Baalrunz. I was hoping I could do CS Runz as Zerker?
Will not focus on this project for now...just figured I might start now, so I won´t have to do 6k LK Runz once I´ll focus on this project! I´m lv8 btw!
I didn't know people named Hammerdins with an L at the front. Loserdin XD
I suppose you could, or maybe WW in CS, although I have no experience doing those runs.
It took me a month to find the runes I needed from LK and then some time to farm the bases for the Griefs, but I don't really see any other viable way to do it.
I should be able to get blizzard to around L31. I will have to try it again. When you are doing the 2 seal runs, are you clearing everything or just boss packs?
@smloeffelholz - I will echo the idea of hitting Meph, at least to get Vipermagi and some other upgrades (including possibly a Mara's) and then some LK (even a couple hundred runs, but maybe closer to a 500 rune set or ~1250 runs) to get some crafting material, charms, and maybe some nice runes to improve the gear further (don't know if you have HotO yet, but if not a clear upgrade using the Vex noted in prior update; and maybe a CoH as an improvement for Sorc or for Merc, to sturdy him up for CS runs). I suspect that you will make up the time on these runs by faster CS XP leveling down the road, rather than sub-optimal CS runs or continuing AT.

Patriarch Death and Hazade the A2 Might Merc, Lvl 98 (pic)
Death moved to 97.6 before MFO, and then made it 98 during MFO, contributing to my win for the Baal category, which was fun His biggest (and only real) upgrade, was a higher defense 15/15/15 that was up’ed, as noted in my MFO results post. He also picked up an Io, allowing him to finally make this for the merc for Nihl runs:
So fun times, indeed. He will take a rest while Septimus levels a bit in the Pit and I focus on some other things (HC characters and a soon-to-be-entered tourney Barb). But he will use his token to respec to Concentrate and move to Nihl before too, too long
(I will also update links in table of heroes to the new forum this weekend)

I should be able to get blizzard to around L31. I will have to try it again. When you are doing the 2 seal runs, are you clearing everything or just boss packs?
What do u mean? Ofc u clear only posspacks + the 2 Sealbosses + Minions? That´s the whole point of the Runz! Having said this, u don´t have to kill every bosspack!
Ideally you want extra packs near the seals to increase XP/h. Perfect CS map in my book is pretty much "fork" shape Vizier seal with extra packs + straight shape Infector seal with extra packs. Can take a little while to roll but not too long either. Fork shape Vizier seal is top priority, the rest didn't make that much of a difference I think.
Yo, I´ve continued my EoEF_Untwinked char! Am lvl28.....things are damn slow, but I´m enjoying it!
Conserning my Respecs.....Ill be Zerker for now! I know that LK Runs are the fastest way to reach 99, but if I would like to go another route:
- How much more likly is a LO drop than a JAH drop? Does anybody know?
- What would be my build?
- Is it still true that mercs are stronger the earlier u pick em?
OK so I was really unlucky to begin with (NM Countess gave me Black Warhammer until that point I used a shopped weapon) which was my weapon until I ran NM Meph to find Aldur´s rythm..even before that I had found a Gavel of Pain, which I couldn´t use as I didn´t have enough strx and needed Rhyme for CNBF! That changed when I dropped a Druiel´s Shell in a Icy Cellar! That made me use my first respec! Now for the first time my char is kickin stuff! And to top things I found a CoT! Dunno I might even socket that one:
- 1 Socket My Helmet
- 1 Socket Merc Weap if I´m not going as Zerker with Insight till the end
- 1 Socket Merc Helmet if I´m not going Delirium
Res kinda low for hell, but decrep makes me not wanna baal! Will run The Whole for now. Whish me luck! €: WIll farm Bishbosh!

I have been running Mephisto for a bit to try to fill in some gaps in my items. I did find a 31@ skins, but still no amulet. Since I am lvl 94, I figured it was time to give crafting a shot. I got this amulet in the first batch of 15. It seems like it could be a solid substitute for Mara's with the big bonus to life.
Is it worth it to keep running Meph in search of a better amulet, or is this solid enough that I can move on to LK to try to farm Ist and Ber?
That information is incorrect according to a link following the link u gave me:
"At each difficulty level (hence referred to as diff.), the mercs you can hire will be of a higher experience level than those of the previous diff., however their stats will be lower when compared to a merc from the previous diff." This still true? And a NM merc stronger when highered at lower lvls? Kinda important as I´ve started with HF MErc, and would be way more inclined to switch to Mighter if this doesnt hold true!
€: Also am I misslead or is block super annoying with Warcry/Zerk?
The main points: A prayer/defiance/blessed aim mercenary hired in normal will have a max (natural) aura level of 18, while those same three hired in hell will only max out at 16. The base stats of the ones hired in Hell will also be lower at any given level than those of one hired in normal difficulty when they reach that level.
The NM mercenaries stats will be lower than those hired in normal, but the difference isn't that big. And no, hiring a NM mercenary at, say, level 44 rather than at 48 will not mean he will be stronger at level 48 than the one hired at level 48.
@smloeffelholz I'd say move on. Should work just fine. I think the key thing is just get the gear to run p8 CS 2-seal runs and not move to CS before then. Note that it may take a little practice in addition to the gear. I felt overwhelmed when I started the runs, but with a bit of practice (and delirium on merc), things got reasonably comfortable after a couple of hours. I would just want the basics (cta and delirium merc), and then on the sorc would shoot for 2200+ life, and like 4.5k or 5k blizz dmg (rough numbers and more is better on both of those). And 75 fire res. At that point I'd say you're good to go on p8 CS.
And for real, if you dont want to farm a ber, the reapers/ delirium/ any armor with res works just as well on merc. The only thing is if you want insight for no drinking mana pots, then you want the ber for coh to give leech to merc. But many did these runs without insight and said it was fine. But I'm a big baby about mana upkeep, so I wanted the ber.
After completing my barb project, i decided to make a sorc. Created her on 10th of September (evening). I haven't played one in a long time, so it should be some sort of a refresh. Start was pretty rough, cause i decided to go pure cold to save some respecs. I would definitely go charged bolt -> nova -> frozen orb if i didn't want to get 99 with her while saving ancients for the last lvl. That path grants way more DMG and sick AOE.
I did some normal and NM Countess, normal and NM lvling at Sarina, Eldrich, Baal and some other things. Did a few Andy runs but decided to rush to Hell Meph. Currently at ~500 Meph runs. I want to get some useful items to start LK. I can get to 105 FCR breakpoint no problem, but my gear is trash in general...
Got this from Normal Meph:
Made first Spirit on day 2:
A lot of screenshots of various finds and other stuff in the spoilers below:

I also got a Pul Rune, but don't have a screenshot and don't even remember where i found it XD Got some nice items early on. Nothing special though...
@Luhkoh After her CtA casts, my sorc has 2350 life, 5.2k blizz damage, and 75 fire/cold/light res with 51 poison (and 15% fire absorb). She is plenty durable and is doing just fine. I am still playing with the equipment on the merc. I like the delirium and reapers combo, but delirium keeps crashing the game. Is there a fix for this that I don't know about? It is really annoying, and it kills the speed of the runs. I have also tried with an insight setup without delirium, but the merc tends to wade into trouble and disappear. Once I get his equipment figured out, things should be manageable.
Since it's 1% chance on struck, smloeffelholz's merc is probably getting hit a lot more than yours did. Apart from getting more defense and levels for the merc, not much can be done about that.
I've never tried Gloom, but maybe the 15% Dim Vision could provide enough crowd control so you don't have to use Delirium?
