sell some of your items for a shaft, gaze, and bonehew. get an a2 merc, hel and amn the bonehew(if its eth, around level 85 i think a holy freeze merc is good w/o a hel).. with bonehew, gaze, shaft merc you can tank hell pindle easily. i did count runs all the time with my merc(granted, all ethreal items.. ohm-amn eth 319 base bonehew, eth 8ll 17 dr gaze, eth shaft). just tele there, static the cold immunes, blizz the others, an dlet your merc do his job. the only time my merc ever lost health was when fantacism was a factor.. which happened quite a bit. you can also tank meth with a nice merc with high resists. a blizzard sorc drops him fast enough where you really don't even get hit. as long as you got ~1500 blizz damage with maxed cold mastery, 300 mf, and a semi-decent merc as described, you can drop good. kill pindle. cows also work.. i've found ohm, ber, zod, jah, and countless pul-ists. also, reg(and eths) for runewords.. all this 'tek' takes is a blizzard sorc with moderate-okay equip and a merc who has plenty of leech
