Poison good for Chaos?

Poison good for Chaos?

Look my goal is to run Chaos runs in bigger games.
I thought about a blobed necro who will have his insight merc at his leg like a good dog so merc doesnt die to IM.

First i wanted to make a hammerdin but hammerdin needs downtimes for redemtion and insight merc would die to IM which sux!

So I want maximum comfort.
Do you think a blobed nova necro with lower resist can do bigger (3~6 players) Chaos runs with comfort?

Well.. Make a Iron golem ... 20 golem mastery 1pt nat res iron golem and revives. Iron golem with insight.... Make the merc a infinity/holy freeze.
Infinity for the bonus it will mean to CE... which will be your second hand weap.I usually have a summoN/hybride. 55-63 points in the poison tree.. the rest in the summoning tree... usually Skeleton mages because they don't go down because of IM. The problem of im with merc's can be solved by using a Low damage weap and put the insight in. Put a Glady's on him and some other goody helm... with cb or dr% ... maybe gaze.

Mercs still die in like 2 hits even with low damage insight

Is CE raelly needed? As i stated i need maximum comfort and CE is strong but it needs annoying switching/waiting/aiming

I would say use an ACT 1 merc with Ice, forti and Gaze
and an Insight Iron Golem

that way you slow down enemies, have a merc with good dmg and you got the Med aura

Not necessary. I don't see it as a problem switching for CE to blow off some shots. This how it will be pretty much: Lower res, nova spam, waity, spam CE, nova again if everyone isn't dead.

Infinity on the merc isn't necessary... but it gives a nice boost if you have a psN/summon hybride. ( mages summons )

CE is useful, to say the least. There are enemies that doesn't die in 1 nova.

A novamancer uses death's web, so there is no reason why you even need an insight merc. Dweb gives mana per kill, which you will get plenty from the your nova and CE.
