put everything into vita. if you have alot of mana then put 1 into mana shield if you don't have alot mana then don't use. put everything in vita you need alot of hp to survive in hell mode
In hell I have a lvl 3 energy shield, with 800 health and 320 mana. I do just find and dont have a merc, not sure if this helps at all. If you are going to have enough mana then I would suggest you use energy shield.
I say put into mana sheild because i do play hardcore lvl91 now using manasheild as well as my other friends. I havent put 1 point into energy and have 1k+ mana and 1k+life. your +skill items would boost it up to about lvl9 or 10 which would be about 65% dmg taken to mana, helps a great deal in hell.
well the bad thing is that if u haev little health, and a monster in hell attacks you, if u use mana shield like all your mana will be gone, also mana shield sux in duels because u lose all mana when someone attacks you so it can help save you but for a price of losing mana so u will need mana potions and stuff
