Thanks

Yes, was planning to telestomp, howl and snipe seal bosses. Was primarily looking for a merc that will help me clear Diablo fast since Zerk seems to takes a while on P8 (but also don't want merc to die often and end up reviving frequently).

With just 2 spirit swords you are moving at 9 frame tele with 4 frame hit recovery, you will not be touched.

By the time you are popping the seal to telestomp you should be switched to Storm/Grief. Only issue is clearing fast enough to not miss too many waves in throne. :)

Its also a pretty solid build for hitting Nihla on your way to throne aswell, thats if xp is what you are after

Is there a reason you didnt go reapers on a2 merc for might/holy freeze aura and decrep? Put on a gface if you need cb since reapers has life steal on it.

Might be another option, but with Reapers+Gface, the CB seems pretty low so figured it might not help as much in killing P8 Diablo. Don't really need holy freeze aura as well.

Will need to test Reapers+Gface vs. Obedience+Gface/Andy as better support for killing P8 Diablo with Zerk Barb
