Wondering if there's a way I can make my merc absorb lite/fire by socking his helm with roonz, but I'd like good stats/res/whatever and an eth helm for sexiness. Lmk!

i think ik helm comes with 2os, but it doesnt have what you seek

leet unique bone helm

Giant skull or whatever. I believe it can get 3. I know for sure it can get 2. Just haven't played online in years and haven't found one on a walkthrough.

Absorb light : Blackthorn face.
Absorb fire : Steel shade.

Impossible to absorb both.

Duh lol gskull thanks guys!

To absorb both yes it's impossible, but to up the %max resists with runes is what I think he was looking for.

Since he said he wants to make his merc absorb via runes in sockets. He probably meants %Max resist, which imo, would probably be more useful on a merc. O_o

Higher attack speed along with LL and/or ctcs is imo more effective on mercs than higher max res. 75% works wonders already in pvm.

I agree, but that's not what he was asking. If it works for him, so be it. I honestly prefer not to have a merc most the time. (Unless lightning sorc)

Yeah, I'm actually kind of wondering for duels when shit gets bm (cs zons/fballers) and just to have a helm with some res on it may make my merc able to hit once or twice, which may be all I need. Also he's a might merc with infinity and I'm a hybridsin, so he pretty much gives me everything I could ever want from a merc. Him having Blackhorn's could actually be ridiculous vs cs zons slow+sorb and 95 lres (using guardian angel ofc) and vs fire sorcs he'll probably die in one hit anyway, but I'm not as worried about those as I am cs zons.

And yea, I just call that sorb since I duel a bit and it is considered sorbing if you have +max res.
