Can mercs solo ubers on their own? Excluding things like having to purify some bosses etc...

if there's no 1hko mechanics yea, like tran fauzt cows etc

how would you build, for example, a bloodmage? I understand he functions basically like any caster but i was looking through the lfaq and it said that any "+%" modifiers on their items won't work. So the only modifiers that i can find is flat energy factor, flat or pencentage bonus energy, and all skills ( i'm not sure if that even works for merc). But it seems difficult to find such stats, especially when the a3 mercs can only use a sword and shield.

How many "magic damage reduced by" do I need to survive Kabraxis's green fire? I am playing as an UHC, and it is almost impossible to dodge due to that annoying bone prison.

For werewolf harb druid i'm rolling life/mana steal jewels.

I've noted a few stats i could go with:
Jewels that have..

+15ias with life, res, or def,
+2 res
+3 res
+2 res and life or def
indestructible with res, life or ias
-req with res, life, ias

Really what i'm asking is, what stats precisely should I be looking for?

I'm only keeping jewels with exactly 2/2 mana/life leach, and i want to maximize my character's potential with the jewels i use. e.g. shark with + 1x indestructible jewel and 4x IAS jewels in broad sword for ias cap. I don't use 2/2 +15 ias jewels if they dont have more good stats, like life or res. In my shield, I use 4x -req jewels because tower/gothic shield. in my head piece i definitely use -req jewels because it requires 1,200str to equip.

thanks for your time

Also, can you roll level 120 rings with enchanting crystals?

no, as the recipe says, only weapons/armor

If a mob has lightning immu and i get enough - enemy res from my items, can i kill tha mob with simple lightning spell or its impossible?

Hey guys, I'm guessing that the elemental stones are not all equal in value?

Could someone please list them in order of value? (roughly)

Cheers
