Blessed aim isn't necessary. You can increase the proc rate by increasing the attack speed.

I don't really see your point there.
I mean, choosing Blessed Aim as the built-in aura doesn't mean a sacrifice in attack speed.
You can very well have both, to increase the proc rate even further.

eth mania armor

Isn't Mania a weapon runeword?

On act bosses, you cast taunt.

I guess you meant Battle Cry, cause Taunt doesn't work on bosses.
I've went that road in the past, it hurts the DPS compared to Blessed Aim + damaging curse, though it's probably great for HC.

I meant you have 2 ways to improve proc rate, hit chance through blessed aim or by increasing the amount of hits via attack speed. 75ias with a thresher results in 4.5fpa jab speed for the merc or 5.56 attacks per second. Yeah, I meant battle cry, not just hardcore also softcore. Decrepify makes crishing blow more effective.

2000% bonus ar on top of 2300 base ar is trash
blessed aim is bait unless you have mass base ar somewhere else and if you can afford a 3/xx/xx sc inventory you can afford a 2nd client and an enchanter while running infinity merc on barb
