mf gear for summoner I dont post much but i dor ead the threads a ton. I have just started playing the ladder so i dont have much stuff. I do know how to make a good summoner/skelliemancer i had a lvl 55 that could do nm d and baal solo. Question is what would be some good begginer mf gear for a sumon/skellie for hell pits or baal. obviously res. is needed for baal but not pit right? thanks ahead of time for your advice.
Yes pit is easy for skelliemancer with maxed CE. -100% all res and 100 life with very low block rate can do pit easy.
I'm in hell, so it's not quite the same. I am extremely fussy about my resists and have them all maxed, but I manage to get by that way and still use the following items for mf: low % tarn with p topaz, chancies, and an ali baba. With charms, that takes me to around 250% mf, maxed hell resists, 350ish mana, and a bit over 1K life. I think these numbers are all fair compromises. I could make anyone of these things even better with equipment swaps, but I was going for balance. Works for me and all the MF gear is pretty budget friendly.

Congrats on your find..I'm sure you will go with a 3rd round of the Sorc. Seems that when I do need a rest from my Undead, I go to my Sorc also(Thanks to Beatboxer). He started a Blizzard one, and got me to make one also. HoS
If you can get an enigma or teleport staff/amy for your necro, then you don't really need any resists because any good necro with an army, clay golem, and decrep shouldn't have meph running around shooting lightning balls like he does to my sorc (who never uses a merc).
Here is my items(pure mf) for skellimancer(Level 79): helm: shako( Ptopz) body armor:skuler(Ptopz) rings: nerg(27),Bul-Kathos glove: change guard boot: war trav shield: trang's shield weapon: gull (switch: carin shard/sigon shield) amulet: mara's belt:goldwrap 4 +1 summon GC 7 +7% mf SC It is about 490% MF, around -40% on all resists and about 800 life. It is work fine for me to solo hell (1 player).
A little off topic, but you don't use the moat trick do you? He never shoots them at me since he's trapped on the other side of the moat. :idea: I just let the merc die.. unless you 'd rather spend time gambling all the gold you get from Durance3.
Resists are cumbersome vs MF gear. Do pits if resists are a big problem. Otherwise, topaz your armor/helm and pick up whatever rings/ammy/gloves/boots/belt with mf you find along the way. The more you play, the more MF stuff you'll find that way. A Gull dagger is nice, and Ali's are a decent replacement except for the reqs. I prefer to use a +3 summoning wand until I find one myself. A +3 summoning head is also more important to me than 25% from a rhyme shield, since I'll eventually get more kills in without it than vice versa.
