Hello guys!
I'm doing Hell Andy runs with my blizz sorc, and my merc is being slaughtered. If I don't feed him juv potions, he dies. The problem is, I don't like having to stop between runs to pick up juvs, I'd like to make my runs faster, so anyone has any ideas on how to make him more sturdy? I don't expect him to kill her, just tank while I kill her on /players 5, or if possible, 7.
He's a lvl ** Town Guard, wears an eth Shatfstop, Reaper's Toll, and Blackhorn's Face. His resistances are 64 lightning, 49 the rest. I feed him an antidote before every battle to max his poison res. So I was expecting that, with poison res 85%, Andy being 20% slowed, plus decrepified, and him having a good chance to hit being Blessed Aim, he would pwn her. But in reality she rapes him all the time. What are we doing wrong? He's 13 lvls higher than her, besides, she's just ANDY! Only marginally better than NM Lister, which is a joke for him. So, why?
If I change him for a Defiance or Might, will their AR be enough to hit her? Do her attacks do any other type of elemental damage that he should resist, besides poison? Also, I noticed that if he attacks other monsters instead of Andy, he leeches enough life to endure her hits, but as soon as he focuses on her, his life begins to drop. The arreat summit says Andy has a drain effectiveness of 33%, but is that so? I don't recall seeing the red circles that indicate he's leeching from her. If so, should I chose Might to do more damage and leech more? Socket an Amn on his weapon?
So, to make this short, what should I change? My sorc is not rich, so ultimate uniques or high runewords are not an option. Does he need better resistances to other elements? More damage, more defense, faster attack speed, FHR? If anyone could help me with some strategy or an affordable gear setup, it would be greatly appreciated
