I was reading about that. Would a gladiators bane work as well / with it or is the treachery best?

I tryed a bunch of setups and found that this is optimal, the merc still dies once in a while but alot less frequent:

Eth reapers tool with Shael
Eth Kiras with 15IAS jewel
Eth Guardian angel with 15ias jewel.

According to my calcs this is what u have to deal with. As u can see steel shade is superior. Gangel + kira can be seen as a temp cause u don´t have sockets basically. You are better of with anything that has good resist on chest + steel shade than kira even with gangel..

they also have warning labels on hammers now saying you may injure yourself if you hit yourself with it... :wacko:

if I can read this right, it means Shade + GA is BiS while CoH will offer more flexibility on weapon which won't need LL and still a decent avg life/bolt.
Thx a bunch
