if u want there is probably a better weapon for ur smiter, its called "black" and u put it in a 4 socket flail. the runes arent that hard to find and the flail will allow u to kill nm andy even if your resists are bad try buying some antiodote potions since they give you 85 psn resistance if your psn resist is at 0. also make sure u did the 3rd quest in act 5 where u rescue anya and get a scroll that gives you +10 to all resistances permanently.
alternativly, look around at this site, make a light sorc build, use her hellforges to get some decent items (lem-um) comes from nm, lem can get u a shako which is a nice starting helm. and in hell u can get (lem-ist) or lower. make sure u look at the price guide on this site so u dont accidently trade an ist for a shako. after that try finding the runes for "insight" its a great cheap merc weapon if your ladder, then get your sorc to lvl 80 or so with a lvl 50 merc, and try botting in hell using d2jsp/yamb. u can then trade ur runes for better equipment.
