Ok, I can take them with Nova sorc, which sucks against single target, although I wouldn't say it's easy. Haven't died yet. Energy Shield is fully powered on Nova sorc though, so that could be a difference.ganseng wrote: 1 hour agoi died once to Lilith but managed to recover body and finish her off
on a previous attempt with Spirit, i died once to Izual's shivering armor, but also managed to recover body

Energy Shield is puffed away almost instantly, but without the Energy Shield it's even worse imo, resistances don't really help when you have a little over 2k life..
for sorc to work without the Energy Shield, you need multiple godly skillers of vita (and maybe some godly 5/20 small charms too), with 2.5k-3k life it could work (?)
i currently use a volcanic amulet with 67 life and 1 Opalvein. switching to a volcanic amulet with 10% fcr and 1 more The Stone of Jordan prly won't change anything. what you gain in mana you lose in health, you gain about 3.5% more dps, but lose the res
still haven't socketed the Skin of the Vipermagi, not sure i want to invest a 5/5 facet at this point
well, and a tanky melee merc would help ofc, but i'm too stubborn for that..
Consider trying my act 2 merc gear vs. mini ubers - Gladiator's bane, reaper's toll, and 3 Sol jeweler Tiara of life everlasting ( Tiara is only necessary against Lilith. You were the one that self found one of those, right?)
Helps merc survive with only the need for a few rejuvs, and Decrepify nerfs enemy physical damage output by 75%, non phys by 50%. You do need to prebuff self and merc with thawing and poison potions. I also bring mana potions as part of my Belt to recharge Energy Shield without wasting full rejuvs.
Could also try just adding a ring of Sigil Lethargy w/ no other setup changes, that alone would make a huge difference.
