I read your guide, and it would work extremely well. The issue lies in the fact that I play ladder and locating some of those rare rolls isn't that easy. I also like the res and fcr using a spirit shield provides. I will still be able to obtain fanaticism with a beast axe.


Unless you're making them on some hero editor like he did, good luck finding those rares anyway haha

Using this will you find out that beast is significantly better. But imo the most important reason to get beast is because it boosts your merchant dmg which is your biggest dmg source.

I can understand that, it gets the benefits of both. I like using my CTA on switch and don't like carrying around excess in my inventory.

So Let's say you were forced to choose between the two. Which would it be?


I didn't say to have Beast/Leoric on weapon slots, nor to have Leoric in inventory and Beast/CtA on weapon slots.

You have Leoric in stash. At the beginning of the game, you raise the army with it. Then you put it back in stash, and never use it again in the same game (why would you?).

No.

The max damage setup is infi merc, pride golem, beast necro and leoric precast summon

sure. but if ur golem dies. PRIDE is ladder. not cheap in the long run. BEAST can be made in non ladder.. cheap.
good luck with precast...
cheapest is beast on nec, infy merc. nvm golem.

Iron golem never dies.

Beast + Infinity is of course cheaper than Beast + Infinity + Pride.
But it's not obvious that it's better than Pride + Infinity.
