301 strength on a caster is a little.. much? Especially with an enigma? You should leave base strength and get a low str req enigma, then you can do all to vita. You also need to get some resists...maras... maybe some resist scs/lcs/gcs.

Gotcha. well remaking a lvl 83 can be done fairly soon... which I would reccommend. But if you dont like remaking / the result you could get - i would start by getting resist charms - preferrably with life

Try for a maras(as mentioned) instead of seriphs, Um shako, Hoz Umed or P diamond it, mage fist for FCR.
If really need be try a prayer merc with insight weapon. Insane mana life regen, you wont need to worry about the psn. (Dont worry about the cookie cutter holy freeze merc everyones got 1 you wont really need it when lvling) carry around a row of antidotes if your that worried about the psn.

Anni and or Shimmering charms are good too. (Resist allers)

Just out of curiousity, you maxed out Con right? That isn't mentioned.

Dont use Spirit as weap... Use Wizard spike.. it give Much res, mana, and Fcr.. and what does Spirit sword give: less Fcr, Fhr and 2 skills... The res and mana is just sweet :) ... Wiz is cheap as well.. And u need to remake your char.. u got TOO MUCH str :p

Lmao... completely forgot about the Wiz.... Yes Wizard Spike is 10 times better then the spirit sword. My appologies.

If you want to do it right start over and learn from your mistakes. If you baal hard enough you can get to where you are now lvlwise in about 1-2 days. All the extra stats you will have from str can be pumped into vitality.

Str: enough for gear
Dex: 125 at lvl 99 with Hoz
Life: everything else

Since you have your nigma you know exactly what str is needed to wear already.

No points into conviction at all

Max out:
Concentration
Blessed Hammers
Blessed Aim
Vigor
Holy shield
1 into Redemption (if your merc dies will come in handy for mana leech)
Rest into Defience

Stats:
Str - enough for gear
Dex - 125 at lvl 99
Life all the rest
Energy - DON'T MAKE ME SMITE YOU!

Merc and gear:
Act 2 Nightmare Def merc (Holy Freeze)
Insight (Eth)
Stone (Eth) or if your rich Fortitude (eth)
Gaze (Umed) Rockstopper,or Tal Helm (for the poor ppl)

Gear for Hammer:
Hoto (Cta on switch)
Hoz (Umed or P Diamond) Spirit (on switch)
Nigma, Magi, or anything + skills
Gores, treks, War Travs, silks
Magefist, trang gloves, chancies
Shako (umed, or ist), Gaze (Umed, or ist)
Arachnids
2x Bul rings,(I choose these) or 2x SoJ
Maras, or + combat Skills fcr

Charms:
Anni
Gheeds
Combat Charms, Shimmering Charms, Life, Defence

Try to get at least 80% FCR, Duel Leech, Max resists in Hell, and as much + to all skills as possible.

When first lvling to 24 use:
Anglic ring x2 and amulet
Sigon Set
Khalims Flail
My advice would be to melee with 1 point into Might untill you can spam hammers for 10-15 seconds without depleting mana
Max out concentration Asap after putting 1 into hammers. This will give you the power of hard hitting hammers at a low mana cost

Hope this clears up any problems and confusion.

I think you have learned now what 2 fix but make sure u dont trade that enigma unless its str goes over 100 (even if its arhon plate) go for a mage plate or dusk then just get like a 20 str ring equip it 2 put on yur enigma, yur enigma should hold everything else up unless u have an upped hoz, get a 30 hoto for an ist or for items, get a 20 maras for an ist or items, get mage fist and araachs 2 reach 80 % fcr, um shako which leaves u short on res so just get some charms cine u ant afford a high maras or hoto,120 points in dex rest vit, no str or energy.

Trang_lord, you bump too many threads, I will report you.
