I just can’t seem to keep this guy alive.
Spamming Antidote and Super Heals, and he still drops like a fly. He’s using (Act II merc BTW) Andariel’s Visage, Fortitude Armor, and Insight on a Colossus Voulge.
Everytime I run Hell Andariel, he just drops.
What am I doing wrong here? Dropping 50k gold each run is killing me.
Use Full Juvs.
Kill her faster.
I find just killing her faster is the way of keeping him alive. When I fight him with my sorc I can put her into infinite hitstun so she cannot dps anything until death.
Yeah…just ran it again using full rejuvs…that seems to work. Still have to have a couple of antidotes on hand at the end.
It takes me ~10 seconds to kill her on my sorceress right now. Static Field spam, then Frozen Orb spam.
TBH you don’t need to static Andy. She dies to like 4-5 clean orb hits. Just swap to higher MF swap right before she dies.
Just keep teleing away from her into the sweet spot.
Not gonna lie static is pretty overrated for solo farming. Most of the time outside of Baal it straight does less than just using Orb/Blizz.
If you really wanna run pure orb AND use static I’d honestly suggest pumping some points into it for some range. I ran Orc/IB/CM/Static/Tele(till mana free for MB mobs)/1 point Warmth/1 point FA (up til -175% for meph) on a vita sorc.
Screen ranged static is underrated for FG xp runs.
She has -50% fire res so for a meteorb sorc, fireball spam will put her into hitstun and I def remember my weak sorc back at 82 having only 5k fireball lol. Late game with blizzard and ice blast she cannot even move due to hitstun once the blizzards start to hit her.
The only time he dies now is if she gets minions that mana drain and are ice immune and body block for her but that’s rare lol. And I suppose phys immune cause he cannot lifesteal if that’s the case.

Dear lord. Yeah, static is a waste of time. I just orbed her this time alone and she went faster.

If you’re a Sorc or any char with Enigma besides Hammerdin, you should be teleporting around most bosses including Andy which should avoid your merc directly taking too much damage.
Mercs will struggle against bosses regardless of if it wears Treachery or Fortitude mainly because you can’t leach life off them as you can normal monsters. Hell Andariel has a drain efficiency of 33% which means only a 1/3 of your merc’s life leach works. I’m sure the majority of us are running Insight/Infinity + Andys/Vamp + Fort/Treachery and that doesn’t provide enough leach to survive off Andy on his own. If you don’t want to use full juvs on your merc, guess you could buy a life tap wand lol

I tried Fireball. I died 3 times. Didn’t stun her at all.
Frozen Orb seems to be the way to go.
Seems like it, for me I suppose if you don’t do enough damage then orb is fine. Fireball gets more damage if you max fire bolt and meteor then adding to fire mastery. Orb def works too one of the cheaper options if fireball isn’t working.

1-2 Full Rejuvs does the trick without any teleporting nonesense. Just tank and spank at that point. If my merc gets poisoned, he can live through it…it was the direct damage from Andy that seemed to drop him.

Also if he’s under leveled he will hit less and will get hit a lot more.
Give merc unique Thresher then all bosses gonna be a joke
You don’t. If he isn’t behind her or you don’t want to drop on him 2-4 juvs he’s dead.
Just farm her last and revive in next game. That’s what I do.
