You got this man! Your videos have inspired me to continue my grail. Did a couple terrorized arcane sanctuary runs this morning and got (seriously the worst) Death's Fathom lol. Somehow got it before I even got an occy. Stoked to watch your progress!
Sorry in advance, this is a long one also sorry for all the back seating. Trying to make this as smooth as possible for you lol Upgrades: Bulwark runeword for Ilzan. Shael, io, sol. In a 3socket helmet. It can roll 4-6% life leech. You can use the cube to craft armor that can offer an additional 1-3% life leech. Look up a crafting guide. It’ll explain it in depth and give you a list of required items. If you can, make sure the items you use for him are ethereal. Defense matters a lot on a merc. Swap to a Might aura merc. More damage = more leech. A build suggestion: Hydra Orb. Max frozen orb, enough points into cold mastery for -100% enemy cold resistance. Max hydra. Max fire mastery (when possible) afterwards you can choose to max either fireball or ice bolt. Depending on which skill you prefer. The build will be competent enough to get you through the game on players 1. Orb has a better AoE than Blizzard. Hydra shreds through bosses. By the way if you’ve read this far. You need to shop for a wand at a vendor that will give you Lower Resistance charges. That will speed up bossing on any build you use until you can make an Infinity. Again, sorry for the advice you didn’t ask for lmao
This is great advice, thanks a lot! The wand will be great and I wouldn't mind a switch on the skills... But replacing Ilzan... poor guy! (Although a good point, I have my own cold damage)

That's great man I'm so happy for you! It's a long grind, doesn't matter if you take some breaks along the way :)
