thx, i feel abit...well, you know ^^

in a related story, does anyone know what kinda attack meph does most in melee mode?

Just an FYI, the only way to keep the merc alive is to use a life tap wand on mephy... Since you can't leech from him at all, the merc is going to die in a few seconds anyways.

...which is why you either use the moat trick, or one hell of a battle order to boost his life so high you can kill meph before he dies. This of course requires a good CTA one hand weapon and a complementary shield on switch. (And a lot of +all skills)

Defiance merc and a 5k defense "Stone" and a reapers toll is what I would go for. And eth 20% gaze.

My holy freeze merc with an insight gpa, upd shaftstop and tal mask has very little difficulty tanking meph so long as I keep him away from the poison clouds. Level 85, 2k hp.

yeh, i can kill meph within 10-15 secs, so that how long he needs to be alive. and he needs to be tankin too, so cant keep him away from clouds...i reckon a tomb reaver with decent res and a guardian angel to boost resistances to 90 and tals mask too will do the trick.

My HF merc (lvl 91 btw) with shaftstop, eth reaper and rockstopper can tank him, even without my lvl16 bo from cta. I think it's mainly due to decreptify on the reaper that he can survive long enough for my FO to tear mephisto apart.

Kelpie Snare, Rockstopper, Shaftstop. The main damage come from physical attacks from Mephisto, so PDR is much more usefull than upping resistances. The key part is keeping him slowed (either with Kelpie or Reapers). Another thing is merc lvl. My merc could tank him for 10 second at lvl 80 without drinking a potion, but now (lvl94) it's about 30 seconds with the same gear.

Try ethereal upped hone sundan (amn amn shael) + Orphan helm (ias jewel) + gris armor (3 x ias jewel) on a might merc. Since you are a sorc, static till half then merc kills him in a matter of seconds. Amn's on hone sundan are only for regular monsters purposes since meph is unleachable unless you get life tap charges from a wand or something.

My merc can survive through the mephy's attacks. He's wearing very high eth obedience, shaftstop and gaze. I also lifetap mephy (exile), so he lives off that too, not to mention the bo from cta.
