Robotbees the build you need is es/telek/orb/(watever skill warmth or ice bolt) sorc for meph. That is what most hardcore ppl use for mephisto for non botters and that what a lot of ppl started with at hc. I still use my sorc when seas#2 started and is doing great.
The sorc build is actually viable for botting as well as few hc ppl bot with my build of sorc at meph and pindle. I know andariel will be a pain to bot with that sorc tho.
