New mf sorc

[Erevis_Cale]

Hi all, I was just wondering what skills i should invest in if i wanna do pindle and meph runs. im not sure whether to go pure fire or cold or both.

This is the gear i intend to use....
HELM: 'UM" Shako
Armor: Tals Plate either IST or UM
Belt: Tals Belt
Ammy: Tals
Boots: War Travs
Gloves: Chance Guards
Weap: Ist Occy
Shield: 2 IST Mosers??? I'm not sure about this. But Good Res
Rings: 2xSOJ
And many SC's and some SKILL GC's.

Get a merc to help tank for u, as for ur items, i think ur giving the sorc a lil too much good items, remember, u will probably get caught botting..

My gears is like urs, but i didnt put ist/ums in my stuff.
My merc is strong enough to kill pindle if he was immune to my att. So it would b good if u put some ok gear on ur act2/5 merc.

Should i probably leave the runes out?
Which skills would be best cos i have decent plus skills from the stuff.. is pure cold better than fire?

ist in a tals ??? waste of an ist rune... just put a p topaz in it... same with the shako.. no need for great res

cause if u make a fire sorc doin mephy runs... switch to ure mf weapons (i use ist ist ali baba and 4 ist monarch) then get him to follow you and do the blood moat trick... and you wont get hit.. so you can basically have -100 res.. and your only problem will be gettin there.. but thats why u have a good cast rate on your weapon switch.

my guide for pindy is... make a fire sorc... tele to the door ... have your mf weapons on... and send a metoer between you and pndy.. cause they will charge into it.. and then start fire balling ... they should all drop before they even get near you.. and if you have a good merc.. well he will tank em then

note.. only problem with that is when pindy fire immune

if hes fire immune just leave and make a new game no problem then im making a fire one right now but i dont have ne good items so im just goping to us what i can find:S hope i find something good

if ur doin meph/pindle runs dont use chancies. only good thing bout chancies is high mf on them, but mf = usless for boss runs.

they destroyed mf remember? best go with frosties or magefist

if ur doin meph/pindle runs dont use chancies. only good thing bout chancies is high mf on them, but mf = usless for boss runs.

u sure about that? cuz i tried without mf and with mf, i got 2 gaze when i had 500 mf, and without it, i only found magic items (10 runs each)

anyways, if u see fire immunes, thats why u got godly merc with u.

y would u waste 2 ists in a mosers? if u get a 2 socket shield make the runeword "ryhme" it has the same resists and only 25% mf which can be made up with other gear or charms

What are you talking about MF is useless against bosses? Check the official B.Net FAQ on Diablo II, MF still works against bosses. They actually lowered its effectiveness against regular monsters and raised it effectiveness against uniques/bosses...
