I'd like to know what everyone's thoughts are on my barb merc,

Phase blade plague
Phase blade botd
Coa with 2 5/5 poison facets
Bramble

Idk how this all works together but if there are any flaws in it lmk plz

Shit equipment except for plague. Who makes BOTD in a phaseblade? Why waste CoA on a merc and then stuff it with facets instead of ias jewels? Why bramble? :lol:
Is this a joke?

You need CNBF, high def, ias, resistance, very high damage and last ias BP for frenzy. Complete Sazabi set with an oath cryptic sword already outperforms your setup at a fraction of the cost.

Plague procs lvl 15 poison nova , botd procs lvl 20 poison nova, I run conviction, bramble has 50% poison skill damage, think outside the box . Maybe when you quit googling how to play, you might figure some exciting shyt put on your own. Barbs poison nova can kill hell cows. It's pretty cool honestly.

Not worried about the cost . Just trying different things . U should do it sometime

Then first thing, conviction doesn't decrease poison resistance. Killing cows in P1 with the help of a merc...well.
Act5 merc is a supreme meat shield, nothing else. If you want to make him really useful to you run conviction with double azurewrath in chaos. That's effective and keeps your pala alive.

You sure conviction doesn't reduce poison resists ? Pretty sure it did.

It's fine for a barb merc because most of its damage comes from the MH. So as an offhand aura / fade / life tap (assuming you don't want to use another curse), it will make your merc practically immortal. The dmg output of that setup is only a tiny bit lower than double eth headstriker and stronger vs act bosses.
Do we know how true this actually is? (most damage comes from mainhand)
Current: 2x eth headstriker
Considering: eth headstriker + lawbringer (decrepify only for the merc's own damage, as I want help with cold immune bosses on my blizz sorc, plus i play hardcore and lawbringer is nice for chaos etc.)

But I watched dbrunski's youtube video of damage test in 2.4 beta, I know it's a very isolated test but 2x eth headstriker was WAY faster than eth headstriker+lawbringer (29 seconds vs 1 minute.) Not sure if blizzard made changes to merc damage since his test though.
