Hy, I'm playing with wildfire Druid. I'm actually at lvl 124, but I'm struggling a little bit. I need some better gear. For SU items, which is better to farm ? Duncraig or Tran Ath..? Maybe Cow lvl or Kurast3000? Thanks for advance

Yes, but physical mercs rarely do any serious dmg to REALLY benefit from it.

Dunc if you are looking for SU's and good lvling place for you too. Although with Wildfire-build I would recommend crafts before anything else, fire pierce and spell dmg are precious.

Crafts? Which items? All or just belt, boots, etc? For crafted jewels you recommend ZOD crafts or other? Thanks

It applies to poison, not magical. There is barely any -magic resistance in the game, Doom is the only skill I know of that reduces magic res.
For phys resistance, skills like Spellbind reduces it, but afaik there is no items which have innate -phys/magic res, only from skills.

^ Mindflay is another and Chronofield if it is still the way it was.
Phys res have Bane, Chronofield, before-mentioned Spellbind, Vine Companion and I feel I forgot something.

All Fascinating crafted until you find something to replace which is rare, TU Greaves are the only ones I would keep, then again they aren't that great either as WF is str-based but always keep boots as low priority when crafting. And yes to ZOD-crafted jewels, you won't need LaeK or any other modifiers as a Druid.

Honestly, you are better off with archon's wrath or instinctXis and a good shield
