Weak MF sorc
 

My mf sorcs are always really weak. The only reason that my current one is succeding is because she has fucking hexes on. It's starting to piss me off. Without hexes I cant even get to meph, much less kill him. I'm lvl 82. I don't even have that much mf. I just have no defense. Help?
My mf gear is:
Shako
Skullders
Lidless
Ali baba
Goldwrap
War Travs
Chances

Ya so obviously I don't have ALOT, But I did make a MF baba once and he was HELLA weak too. He had a shit load of MF though. Help?

Don't uses Baba, use an Occy, only 50% less mf, but the skills, resists, and stat points are key. Get a Mara's, perfect preferably, and instead of using straight up mf gear like chances, goldwrap, and war travs, use items with more resists on them, especially cold and lightning for Meph.

You need at least like 40 or so in resists, about 35 on mastered skills after gear, and with about 1000+ life and 1000+ mana, you almost can't die... Fuck dex and str, so only enough to wear the gear (This is why some use Viper Magi over Skulldirs, because Skulldirs is like 98 str compared to the 40-50 or whatever Viper is...)

I don't know what else to tell you, maybe your technique is just not prefected yet. Good luck, any more questions?

Oh, and what realm? If on East, I have a BOAT FUCK LOAD of shit you can use, since I don't play anymore. :)

Nope I'm on West. Shitty. THNX though. With my occy I have about 12+ resist in hell. With a wizard spike I have obviously like 65+. I have a 1000+ mana but when I made this sorc I wasnt the most experinced D2 player so I didnt really give her vit. So I'm kinda fucked on health, although if I got to lvl 99 I'd be ok since im only 82 now...I have a maras already I think its on my zon, So i'll do that and then use my occy, and play around w/ grear and try to get resist ect...thnx

Well if you are in east put a con ring and a occy ring, it should solve the problem. Uswest got them too right?

Ya they do, but I should have mentioned I'm legit... :)

dont feel lonely my sorc is a level84 and I still have problems with meph runs. The sorc I use is all legit also. Try lidless shield with perfect diamond to boost your resist or you will never get to meph.

Isn't there jewels that do better resist than P diamonds?

I thought jewels were only 15%.

Jewels are only 15 resist, but putting an Um/Jewel will only give you 1 more resist than a PDiamond, and it is much cheaper to just use the Diamond. I haven't played in months, so I'm not 100% positive about those numbers, but from my recollection , that is right.

ok i have a solution to your sorce not being strong enough to even make it to meph, get to like level 90 something and invest your stats in dex so you can block with your stormshield(no need to ask of course you would be wearing one for the 75% chance to block mephs orb of death). with 75% chance to block meph will never touch you ;)

Just wear occy and tals belt and have positive resists...I was level 73 and did well against meph and pindle....Block helps but it isnt really needed. Also wear perfect maras. My friends sorc is just like your except he uses occy and perfect maras. Or why not just wear tals set. except the mask and orb.

EDIT: Titus hook me up with a lil sumtin sumtin s(._.V hehe

PM me and when I get back from class today, I'll make a mule account for you and PM you back the name and password. In the PM, put what type of stuff you want, but don't go over board, for I don't even really know what I have anymore, and I already gave Doofus first dibs of just rummiging through it and taking whatever. :)

just in case u didn't know u can kill meph from afar (using firewall)..the bridge method. that way..meph will NEVER hey you. and on your last hit..just switch to your mf gear.

all u need is a stormshield and tgod(optional).

Huh...Lotsa good options. Thnx. My friend uses a SS, but he sucks cause he still has no resist...Especially PvP. So I'll invest in Tal's belt, use my occy, get a maras....Sweet. I'll go try it right now!

I prefer using Travs,frostburn,tal belt,armor,ammy, lidless or ss or rhyme, sojs or nagel rings - or a duped dual leech with mf, 09 shako, and occy with a +15% res all jewel, and then make up for resist with charms.

Thats just my take on it though :)

that works, but kaneda said legit sorc.

My legit mepher setup had:
Topaz Shako
Skullders
Goldwrap
2x Nagels
Rhyme
Gull(or Occy later)
War Travs
Maras

And in weapon switch:
Wiz Spike
Moser's Blessed Circle with 2 pdiamonds.

Switch from Spike/Mosers to MF for last shot, never had a problem unless you got a 28.8

It's only mf doesnt have to be fully legit unless you pvp with it....You dont have to torture yourself over being legit only for MF. Its PVP you should be legit in not really in PVM.

I do PVP. Heh. And plus I don't wanna get fucked when the patch comes out.
