Advice for a Freezealot
I'm starting a pally with my friend who is building a light sorc. We've been moving pretty slowly since it's his first time playing, so I've been mfing on the side to try to get us some late game equipment. I've had the good fortune of finding some nice high end equipment and was unsure of what how to use it. To be specifc:
Verdungo - 15% DR, 37 Vit, 131 ed, 105 stam, 12 regen
HoZ - 198% ED
The mods are pretty high so I expect they should earn me a good bit of currency if I chose to trade them. They also happen to be fantastic equipment for my zealot. Eventually, I'd like my friend and I to be able to take on uberTrist, and being somewhat ignorant of how defense works exactly, I'm not sure if I'm going to need equipment with near max stats to do that when the time comes. If I just traded for lower stats for now, would I eventually need to trade back up when I want to do Uber Trist?
Second question: Mercenary-wise, my friend is probably going to be running a defiance A2 merc, and I was debating between a Blessed Aim or Might Merc. Which would be better suited for me, or should we both be using totally different mercs?
