How much MF do you usually run with? and a merc question.

How much MF do you usually run with? and a merc question.

Right now I'm sitting at about 300ish MF. My killing speed is pretty fast in 8 player games but haven't found anything really interesting in the past few days . Should I try and up my MF or is this enough?

Also, My Act 2 NM merc right now is wearing either Insight/Reapers, Gbane, and near perfect andys. But he doesn't last long against Meph even in a solo game. Is there any other gear I can try to keep him up?

Any info is appreciated.

I run with a Reapers Toll and Stopshaft. This allows him to apply decrep without too much trouble. If you teleport him near Baal so he isn't eating his ranged attacks, he'll pretty much need one pot to survive.

You can probably get a reapers toll for a pul.

Can't do Baal yet with light resist mobs atm as I'm fully light . I have a reaper's I can try because with insight hes like 3-shot in solo games.

All my sorcs can run hell baal, but they are geared (resist, merc etc..) for certain areas. Impossible to make sorc that can run all tc85 areas fast in full games, so need to have at least 2-3 mf chars.

I use around 300-400mf while doing hell baal/dia. Rarely run other bosses anymore. Enough shakos etc..., so going after elite uniqs, that meph& andy cant drop.

For full game tc85 runs, I use other sorcs, and they carry little less, as they need to solo those areas fast even full games, around 200-250mf with those.
They main target is to find charms, runes and elite uniqs.

When I found decent items, I carry less and less mf and do much faster runs, around 100-150 mf later in ladder. As finding 20-30 very good charms is much harder than just 5-10 items that char can carry.

Ladder is still at early stage, so average mf is around 250-300 now. I could combine mf items from those sorcs and use just one with 600mf, but I see no reason to do that. Killing fast and killing in full games, thats the way I like.

And merc, I am using mercs that can survive at least 10-20 mf runs in a row. I hate when they die, so different sorcs have different mercs. I don't let iron maiden or souls to take my mercs. I have deal with mercs, I keep them alive and they keep me alive, worked well in this and past ladders :crazyeyes: One with Insight+Gaze, one with ReapersToll+Gaze and one Rogue merc.
