Yeah I concur on the hooking you merc up with survival gear instead of mf gear because their mf won't factor in with your mf unless they actually kill the monster, my merc has an eth infinity and i think a coh, something like that (holy freeze merc) perfect for my lite sorc, hes a pimp lets just leave it as that. Also listen to sov about the problem with being poor in ladder, also if you can manage throw in some hell pindle runs, cuz ya never know what he's gonna drop and it just might be your lucky day. And another thing, I might be joining the east ladder scene this summer depending on how bored of Oblivion I get, later.
