Do you guys honestly see your health bar move? I've never used leech and never noticed not having leech, even without bo.


Running the mist build rn.

It’s not like it’s needed. Definitly not worth running on your gear since you have to drop dmg for it or your fcr breakpoint . Entropy + sling/opals is most dmg on rungear . And gloves are needed for fcr breakpoint. So no room for leech on the „bis build“

But even if it is not needed lifetap could make you even more tanky adding insane leech without sacrificing anything on main gear. And since we don’t run any curse elsewhere it is a nice addition . Definitly more sustain than prayer.

The level 34 might is a nice dmg boost even with our low phys dmg.

The best thing may be the 100% cb. We don’t run any cb ourself so this adds something to the build it just doesn’t have. Frenzy merc with max cb Could speed up t5 herald/boss kills quite a bit especially in the rare case they are magic immun or have high magic res.

Of course this is not needed at all. 2x last wish might make your merc more expensive than your own gear :D but for some more min maxing and high budget it might be good. Just seems to add the few „missing stats“ to the build.

Conc + might + fade proc + lifetap makes your merc deal nice damage with great sustain.

Overall it Just adds way more than an a2 merc. Of course only if you can sustain your mana.

In the end it’s overkill but might be worth to toy around with. Also I Just love Running something else than a2 merc on every build :zzz:

I'm a big fan of the lw/mania merc on melee builds for sure
