Your boots are pretty good though.įor the merc, replacing Impaler with Insight, as Rondel pointed, will make your life waay easier thanks to mana regeneration - and Corpse Explosion, which is main damage dealer is rather expensive. Belt is also something which could use an upgrade. For shield you have options - Splendor(Eth+Lum) in a shrunken head for cheapest possible +1 All skills, faster cast rate and decent magic find Ancient’s Pledge(Ral+Ort+Tal) for massive all resistances, sadly can’t be created in shrunken head or Rhyme, no +All skills, worse resistances than Ancient’s Pledge, but has cannot be frozen, mana regeneration and a bit of magic find.

Next, the amulet, at this stage it’s very easy to gamble +1 All Necromancer skills, or +2 Summons tree. You could upgrade armor to Smoke(Nef+Lum). Shop a Telly Staff for your weapon switch. After that Maggot lair and Arcaine tactics is what you need to deal with. Your gear isn’t the problem, your merc needs a new weapon. Stealth is still a good armor, although you are probably loving the resists on that Breast Plate. For low end look for a 2 socket shrunken head with good + to skills and you can make rhyme in it. He gets you the bodies to CE, and CE is the room clearer.Īs to your gear: You can beat Baal with this set up and upgrade as you find better. As your merc is your main source of killing things, his damage is the most important, not your skellies. If you can’t find a base for it, get the best damage weapon you can.īec isn’t a top tier weapon but I like Bec’s so I decided to give you those numbers.

Insight is a great runeword not only for the meditation but the 200-260 ED that you can’t get on many other places. You should be able to find a better base weapon and make a better weapon.Ī Bec-de-Corbin Insight (nightmare tier) would have damage of: 55-306 The Impailer is only slightly better than insight in a Scythe. Your gear should be fine for getting through the end of the game, your merc on the other hand…Īll you need to do for him is upgrade his weapon.
