With foh’s holy bolt able to pierce and now do damage to demons as well as the reduced delay I’d imagine it’s actually good at farming pvm now

Mayb not maybe it’ll still just be trash PvM

Azure wrath >
It does not have the chance to cast decrepify, but at least it does some dmg


Decrep effectively doubles your damage once it procs though. Azurewrath has slightly more damage yes but it's completely dwarfed by grief in main hand. Higher DPS overall with decrep imo.

The aura makes you ignore phy resistance for undead. It's only good for demons.
So only worth it, if you play alone. But against demos you can go the act2 reapers toll route.

Really. Not sure if it's that good.
My act 5 will use Azurewrath and plague. I don't want to override lower resists.
Also give mercs all item slots except jewelery. So add hands and boots, maybe even belt.
LOH on the merc.



So imho.
Frenzy Barb Azure + Grief PB
Act 2 Merc Might + Reapers Toll

Or
Frenzy Barb Dual Grief
Act 5 Merc Lawbringer + Last wish.


The Aura was always bugged. Is the extra ED just for the person wearing, or is the ignored resistance just for the person wearing? Or both?

240% extra ED isn't all that huge a deal for bowazons. Its a significant buff but not a huge one, like the D/A/E ungodly and massive buffs
If a dex zon already had ~1200% ed in pvm with an a1 merc / windforce

1. Where do you get 1200ed for WF act1 merc? 15% more dmg isn't true, more like 20%+.
2. 240ed is a huge deal in PVP where you don't play a dexazon. By ditching forty for enigma you get frw and practically the same damage pre patch. By using fortitude, damage almost doubles.

I must have misclicked, was trying to quote the guy asking why plague in claws was GFG


Okay, thank you. Again, I apologize. I thought you were making some 2000IQ connection that was just beyond my paygrade and was SO confused.
