What merc is best to go with this for most of the game?
A3 or A5?


Sorry my irl obligations inconvenienced you.

IMO, best mercs for Melee Sorc = A1 or A3

I run with an A1 Priestess b/c she uses Tremor to reduce enemy life and Vindicate help with healing. Not using any special gear with her right now except

.

A3 Mercs are probably better for ppl just starting out, though. Bloodmage is support-based and can instaheal the party with Gift of Inner Fire. Equip him with +Fire spell damage gear (TUs, Honorifics, Crafts). Abjurer uses Banish, which reduces enemy life. Equip him with +Lightning spell damage gear (TUs, Honorifics, Crafts)


Thanks a lot !
Great guide btw :)

I'm not sure what you mean lad, are you asking about what you need to Shrine-Craft gear? If so, you'll need rare sacred gear my friend, as that is all that will work for shrine-crafting. You can use Charsi to make it rare if needed; just burn away the magic with a catalyst of destruction and a rune, if it's only magical. I do hope this helps! :)

Hello

Just a quick question not pertaining to this guide but I am getting no real replies in the other parts of the forum. Is there a way to fix the rubber banding in the game? I will walk somewhere and get teleported back 3 seconds and sometimes this happens a lot... 4-5 times in a row and other times i can go 1-2 hours without it. I would blame in ISP but this doesn't happen in other MP games.

Thanks in advance

Your own internet connection and/or server lag. Rubberbanding often happens when there are a lot of sprites on the screen and your character is moving too quickly that the game itself can't load the map and monsters as quickly as you're running across screens.

What also might help is to make sure when you are in the chat before you start a game type "/gs #" (no quotes and replace the # with the number of whatever server is closest to you to ensure you have the best connection)

Awesome, thanks for the advice. I was running w/ a lot of increased movement speed items so maybe that is my issue. For the server /gs command, what is closest to new york?

The New York server...

Go into the Multiplayer tab at the top of the forum, then click Server info. It shows the list of servers, which are online, and how many games and players are in each one.

They're just edited screenshots using Photoshop filters to make 'em look purdy.
