    So if anyone needs one, I have a 4os Monarch.

    So, last night I completed my Elemental Merc. I have yet to field test him, but he has 4 auras going on him at once. It just looks cool, and I can imagine if I rush someone in normal, and maybe even early nightmare, if I teleport kind of slowly I could level someone up in no time.

    I now have an Ist and a Vex (I think), which I wish to trade for a Sur and an Ohm. It's time for a Bramble. Also if anyone has a Lo, I have a Wire Fleece with El Sol Dol in it, just put the Lo in and a Fortitude is made, only 111 str req. And finally I have a 5os Ettin Axe, and I plan to make a Grief out of it (with someone's help of course).

    *WARNING* The following is me being bored at work and rambling. Read at your own caution.

    I was just thinking of something for us Angels (I'm guessing that Fire is Sabrina, Lightning is Kelly and Cold is Jill??? ). While my merc is good to go with the Conviction aura, which breaks immunities, with the -45 to Lightning resist (low end, but still does the job), there are no monster in the game that will remain immune to lightning with this setup. There are however monsters in the game that will remain immune to cold and fire. If we are all going to be together doing stuff, it would be pointless for all of us to have an Infinity, and I don't think the Convictions would stack. And so I propose the following. It's expensive, and might seem a tad unorthodox, but it will work if we are all on screen at the same time.

    Cold Sorc:
    Defiance Act 2 Norm merc
    Doom elite polearm
    Armor and Helm can vary (need research)

    Fire Sorc:
    Cold Act 3 merc
    Phoenix crystal sword
    Phoenix monarch
    Armor and Helm can vary (need research)

    Ok, so that's several expensive runewords, especially the Pheonix's. However, with this setup, the following would happen if we were all on the screen at the same time. My conviction will -85 to enemy elemental resists, and break immunities. However, only -17 when immunity is broken. With the Infinity, there will be an additional -45 to enemy lightning, so that takes care of all lightning immunes. With Doom, there will be an additional -40 to 60 to enemy cold, which will take care of all cold immunes. With the two Phoenix's, there will be an additional -56 to enemy fire, bringing the total up to 73, not quite enough for those 180 fire immunes. However, if one of the sorcs (preferably the fire one) is wearing at least 4 pieces of Tal's set, including the orb, then that's an addition -15 to enemy fire, which will get the job done. So that breaks the immunity of every enemy in the game that Conviction will work on (a few are immune to Conviction's effect), and thus make we Angels unstoppable. Not to mention this setup will also give us a level 20-30 Redemption aura, which will make enemies into our little potions and render Nilhatak corpseless, and make the act 3 merc a better version of the act 2 Prayer merc.

    In retrospect, I do realize that if we are indeed all on the screen, we don't even need the Infinity, no enemies will be able to resist all of us. I was just thinking out loud, and again I'm REALLY bored at work right now.
