Great Poleaxe 46 to 127 (86.5 Avg) lvl63 str179 dex99 rangeaded4 dura55 (+eth stats)
[0]base weapon ias
this somehow first best to my 30ias jewels (no ias in weapon)

my titanseal says:
Data:
Character: Merc - Town Guard
Primary Weapon: Great Poleaxe
Skill: Jab
IAS: 0
Weapon-IAS: 0

IAS attack speed [ticks] attacks per second
0 7 3.12
9 6.5 3.33
20 6 3.57
37 5.5 3.84
63 5 4.16
105 4.5 4.54
200 4 5

20ias=avarage of 3.57attacks/sec
(its some form of jab the merc use!)

Merc calculator:
lvl 16jab +1lvl17 jab = +33% dam (not showed onscrean)
lvl +220%dam from might (visual when out of town)(this is show on my damage calculator!)
lvl 6+1critical strike(insight) =+49% chance (not showed onscrean)

Damage calculator:
I not put link, but it says:
1398 to 3720 (ø 2559) damage
+49%critical
2083 to 5542 (ø 3812) avarge damage/hit

ø 3812*3.57hits/sec =ø 13609 avarage dam/sec

(this gives more dam/sec then cv and tresher! couse it fits a great ias breakpoint!)

75ias tresher is to overated, its 4.54hits/sec
thats just 27%more dps, i prefere a merc thats stays alive!

My baba do like 1.5k warcry dam * 25/9frames(63fcr) = 4167 dam/sec vs multiple monsters
+stunning/horking them!


Good merc or bad merc?

Bad merc.

4167 warcry dam/sec/monster*9travi monsters at ones = 37503 dam/sec baba
thx to the medi

37503+13609= 51.112 dam /sec
made posible bye my merc!
who stays alive always 90@res hell / melee monsters are stunned / only ele dam can hurt
= immortal merc!

what merc do better?

In what term? DPS? Survival? I can give you an array of setups that do better than this.

mana (insight=must)
survival (within seconds, nn fade afer 1-2 min!) 90@+life leache
DPS
lvl88-92

Survival-wise, an andy's + treachery merc > this setup.

anda +30fire res jewel = 0fire res

tresher
5% Chance To Cast Level 15 Fade When Struck
25% Chance To Cast level 15 Venom On Striking
+2 To Assassin Skills
+45% Increased Attack Speed
+20% Faster Hit Recovery
Cold Resist +30%
50% Extra Gold From Monsters

=o fire res, or its must be hit 20 times already = death merc already

having some better dam, just 27-28%or so, but 52resist
when you run to travi, all hydra go up ones, no fade yet!

You do realize Treachery adds 60@ upon fade, don't you?
+20fhr / +45% IAS = a much better leeching / damaging merc.

If you don't know how to procc a merc before going to travi, don't even get one.
