Just did some goldruns and got some ideas for you..^^




I don't see the point of so much life.. my one has 250 vita (3k life with bo) the rest went into strength for more leech and faster kills and even THAT annoys me, because I always think 1-2k would have been enough and I could be way faster..

also I think its sad that you did not even mention reaper's toll for the merc.. sure, the cold dmg will splash ~1/3rd of all corpses but it will also double his and your dmg and from experience I can say, that the cold dmg is really negectalbe.. a little calculation: in time x you kill 3 members. with reapers it should be 6 because of double dmg. now 1/3rd of those 6 copses splash, so 4 are left. thats still one more^^

last but not least:



I'm pretty sure you know that, but as the LCS tells absolute bullshit here, that information is kinda useless IMO

e: decrepify will also slow down the monsters and thus grant higher safety.. ofc thats a minor advantage^^

With amp cast on you, and the occasional fanaticism Ismail has +some stoneskin mods for the rest of his super-boss friends, 4.5k+ HP is necessary indeed.

Mana pots or ML% on your rare amulet is the way to go.

hm.. well the "high dmg=high leech=high life formula" works for me, but you are right, there are some rare combinations of the councils that can be REALLY annoying.. you were pretty fast, I editied some things..

Reaper's toll may be the greatest unique ever to spawn D2 generally, but the 4-44 cold damage is enough to discard it completely in the EG whirler setup simply because he is non-merc dependant, which means the merc will only be a bonus. No need to cripple his horking ability from something that's suppose to be a bonus. Besides, the council don't last long enough to have the merc ctc them and have the ctc actually provide me with any advantage, since I do not need any sort of advantage. They all die in 30 seconds max. I didn't die in over 150 runs. Ever. LAEK & LL are on my side, making every hit&kill a life pool. There's no safety to be added here more than that.

I only gave graphic details, I didn't imply anything by claiming the damage screen = actual damage.
