Need some help with my fishy

Hey, I made a fishy who is now lvl 79, i'd just like some advice on where i should head to now and what equipment i should look for.

He isnt really living up to what he should, i cant seem to get hold of much i want at all! I usually run the pits, this is my setup:

Gull - 1 socket (with nothing in it)
Stealskull
Telling of Beads
Skullders ire - w p topaz
Rhyme
Chance Guards
2x Nagels - 16% & 22%
Goldwrap
Some chain boots with 33% MF

My resists in hell are as follows; Fire -35%, Cold -47%, Light -36%, Poison -17%... Yes they are minus's .

I have a Defence merc with Insight, an ethereal Atma's Wail and an ethereal Vampire Gaze.
I also have a bunch of charms, none of them anything special but i do have a gheeds 39% mf/15% vendor/160% GF.

I was thinking of getting hold of a Homu, i have a full tals set i could trade for something useful for him?

Thanks in advance.

P.S he is non-ladder.

Go to act 2 nightmare & grab a might merc. His aura will give a huge boost to your skellies. Your gear is fine for MF runs but you may want to grab some lightning resist from charms or invest heavily in Dim Vision, as gloams will toast you with that lightning resist.

What are your skills looking like? I assume max RS, SM & CE?

You should be fine to start hell at that level, and it shouldn't take long to find something decent in The Pit with the amount of MF you're toting around.
Getting to act 2 and running the Ancient Tunnels is another option

Yup max RS, SM and CE i also dabbled about abit with my skills and some were kind of lost.. but i didnt think it would be too important to the fishymancer, main investment in other skills is Revive.

Why would you invest into revive?

 

[MasterMynd]

Do as Tigercan says - get a Might merc. You should notice a very marked increase in killing speed - which is the key factor for MFing.

I think a Homunculus would be one of the best things you could do for him. With a PDiamond, it will give you 34% more to all res, as well as make your army significantly stronger. To me, that is worth much more than the meager 25%MF from the Rhyme shield.

Why would you invest into revive?

for more revives?

some people love revives, some don't. if you've already put a few points in there, i don't know that i'd put too many more; let the +skill items bump it up for you and put your hard skill points into some other skills that might better serve you.

I love revives...they kill very nicely.

How useful revive is is really down to what you revive, some monsters can be infinitely useful. When doing the river, i like to revive some Urdar, their stun attack is hugely helpful.
