Mercenary Gear Options

General

• Blizzard and Fireball are both point and shoot skills.
• Fireball is a missile that you hit monsters with for big damage, great for a quick hit-and-run playstyle. Against almost all packs, you cast Fireball on them, pop them and move on.
• Kite mobs through the icy spikes of Blizzard or specifically target them. This Skill is used against Fire Immune packs.
• Prior to entering a combat situation cast Frozen Armor to boost your survivability.
• Use Teleport to navigate and then hunt pack after pack of Elite Groups.
• You want to play on lower player count for mobs to have the least amount of Life as possible for quick and easy kills.
• Use Telekinesis any time you can on Waypoints, Town Portals, your stash and for utility items such as Potions and Scrolls from a distance. These uses give lots of small-time saves that add up. In addition, you can also use it to Knockback mobs and keep them stunned. This is useful to keep immunes stunned while your Mercenary takes them down.
• Use Teleport to reposition yourself and your Mercenary. Your Mercenary stands a better chance of staying alive and taking on Immunes when using Teleport. He can act as a first line of defense after you Teleport, catching incoming damage you would have taken otherwise.
• Use Static Field to bring down the Life of your enemies quickly. This is great for all types of Bosses that are not Lightning Immune.
• Before your targets, especially bosses, die, be sure to switch to your setup with high x% Better Chance of Getting Magic Items.
• Try not to be too close to your enemies, this build is generally squishy and can either get stuck in Faster Hit Recovery or just die.
• Try to avoid killing mobs over not walkable ground if possible, as they don't drop items.

Immunities

• Kite mobs through icy spikes of Blizzard or specifically target them. This Skill is used against Fire Immune packs.
• If you do not have Infinity equipped on your Mercenary, purchase a Lower Resist Charge Wand from Nightmare Drognan, this is great for breaking some Immune and highly Resistant monsters. Repair this Wand as needed using Gold or the Chipped Gem + Ort Rune Horadric Cube recipe.
• Sunder Charms force immune monsters to 95% Resistance, but are not recommended for this build.

Late-Game

• At the beginning of each run, be sure to buff yourself by swapping to Call to Arms and cast Battle Command 2 times, Battle Orders, swap back to your main setup and cast Frozen Armor. Make sure that these buffs stay active all the time, they are essential to your survivability. 
• Use Infinity on your Mercenary, to greatly increase your damage output and break immunities.

Faster Cast Rate (FCR)

Faster Hit Recovery (FHR)

Stat Point Changes

• We put enough into Strength to wear gear, as well as enough Stat Points into Dexterity to maintain 50% Chance to Block with Stormshield. Everything else just goes into Vitality.

Skill Point Changes

• Add points into Energy Shield for additional survivability or use a Staff with Energy Shield Staff Mods like Memory Battle Staff or Obsession Archon Staff.

Item Changes

• Be sure to keep your Resistances over capped against things like Conviction.
• Crown of Agesa
• Stormshield
• Sandstorm Trek
• Verdungo's Hearty Cord
• The Oculus is generally dangerous because of it's x% Chance to cast Level 1 Teleport when struck. Some options here are either Death's Fathom or Heart of the Oak

• Teleport instantly moves you to a selected square on the visible screen in which you can stand. The game will try to to place you within a small radius around your cursor even if it would be impeded normally.
• Teleport is not obstructed by walls or other impediments but can fail if your cursor is not completely passed those impediments when cast. Your Mercenary and Minions will be teleported with you, Traps will not.
• Certain Minions in large quantities can become “stuck” in position after teleporting. Move away from that position to give them the chance to spread out.
• You can “extend” the visible screen by opening UI-windows like the Inventory or the Character screen. Continuously cast Teleport and drag your mouse to the edge of your screen.
• The Mana cost of Teleport decreases with additional Skill Levels down to 1 Mana per cast.
• You can use “ESC” to open the menu in single player to pause the game after a Teleport to determine if you are safe.

• Blizzard is part of the Sorceress' "cooldown groups". This Cooldown affects all Skills in that cooldown group.
• While Blizzard is on cooldown, other Skills can be used.
• Blizzard is an Area of Effect skill. It creates a squared shaped area in which icy spikes will fall from the sky in a pattern. The damage is inflicted when the projectiles hit the ground.
• An enemy can be damaged multiple times by the same Blizzard cast. This means it is beneficial if a monster moves within its animation.
• An icy spikes from Blizzard is size 2 which means it can hit multiple targets.
• When spamming Blizzard, multiply cold damage by (icy spikes * duration) / Cast Rate to calculate maximum cold damage per second after the first blizzard has expired. Cast rate is delay (1.8 seconds or 45 frames) plus action frame, so Sorceress Cast Rate is 45 + (4-7) or 49-52 frames, depending on Faster Cast Rate. For example, against a stationary size 3 target maximum cold damage per second after 4 seconds (100 frames) for a Sorceress with 50 frame cast rate (63-199 FCR) would normally be cold damage multiplied by (4 * 100) / 50, or 8.
• An ice shard falls every four frames (0.16 seconds) within radius of the target for duration of blizzard.
