Having trouble TPing to meph without dying

I have a Level 75 Sorceress that i MF with. The problem I've been having lately is that when she TPs to meph, she can die pretty easily from all those big Urdar guys and the undead stygian dolls. I have pretty good resistance (Fire 85, Cold/Light 75, Poison 14) so I don't think that's the problem. I wear a full Tal Rasha's set. I have 931 life, and 414 defense. What happens is I'll tp as far away as possible as I am and sometimes I get thrown in between a crowd of Urdars that'll stun me and then those little dolls will come up attacking so quick I won't be able to react. Any tips on what to do to make TPing easier?

Faster cast rate.

When I tp to meph I use Wizardspike+spirit shield and those two items alone give me a fast enough cast rate that mose times I don't even get hit by the mobs I tp next too.

Other than that, use shiver armor because apparently the chill effect triggers before there attack lands so that slows them down, and make sure you hold down the teleport button the whole time. Don't try to just click it over and over because this will slow you down.

So is the shiver armor really worth putting the point into?

It's one point. It helps, if only marginally, but it does help. Worth the point, or, at the very least, worth having an orb/staff with +Shiver Armor to it on your switch if you have to.

Thanks for the help. Actually, I haven't died since I ended up holding down the right click to teleport. Thanks for that pointer.

105%fcr
And some FHR in case you get hit

Re: Having trouble TPing to meph without dying

you should also be fine with the previous fcr breakpoint (63?), 105 works a bit better tho, especially if you do have a tiny bit of lag.
And make sure you dont try to not highlight chests and stashes whilst teleporting

What helps when teleporting

• 63% FCR breakpoint
• even better 105% FCR breakpoint
• some FHR. If you can, try hitting 68% FHR, that's one of the breakpoints where a sorceress starts to benefit
• Shiver armor! You don't necessarily need to invest 1 hard point. You can just as well buy a staff with +3 Shiver armor, and use that on switch. Your +skills will boost it nicely. I prefer investing the point, since i have other gear on my weapon switch Why Shiver armor? Shiver armor chills monsters the moment they decide to attack, while Frozen armor chills monster when they hit you. This makes quite a difference when teleporting

63% is enough, most in classic don't reach 105% and they never have trouble teleporting even with a lot lower hp/mana.

But i guess the OP had the problem that he was clicking with teleport not constantly keeping it pressed.

Re: Having trouble TPing to meph without dying

The technique I'm happy with is first to decide whether to go counterclockwise or clockwise then I run till I draw the first mob then tele over it, sticking to the map edge(triggering less mobs) telehopping over the mobs of packs using only the map to navigate.

Having a tp scroll in the belt for fast escapes if necessary.

Re: Having trouble TPing to meph without dying

Yeah this helped me a whooole lot. Now I even kill meph faster cause I holding down right click while switching between blizz/ice blast

Do you not find some of the spell casts go 'missing' when you hold the button down? Like you'll see the effect on your screen but no damage is done.

Re: Having trouble TPing to meph without dying

one thing I like to do (sounds weird) is make sure I dont cast energy shield, because everytime when I get hit, all mana gone and I got stuck there. Without it, I may take a hit or two, but I can still get to meph.

do you have more skill pointes left? if you have, just put all in telekinessis and you will loose less mana.
