Thanks for all the posts

- using atma's now (was good hint - this really makes a big difference on higher players)
- added +dmg charms to inventory (in total 68 max dmg)
- merc has now pride + ebug coh (2k def) + eth andy (5xxd)
- helm still missing

Now doing (merc currently level 90):
1161 - 6553 dmg (guided arrow) and 873-4929 dmg (strafe)


Interesting is: w/o the +2 skills from coh it's 1149 - 6476 dmg (guided arrow) and 864 - 4871 dmg (strafe); i.e., around 58 max dmg less for strafe.

So let's see, but feels it's pretty much the limit what can be done (few charms missing) and helm - lemme know if any other suggestions

Alright so this will be the last update on my char

Final things I did:
- filled up everything with md/ar/life charms (except 8 squares for picking)
- WT over gore (more dmg)
- got helm: 20 dex and socketed with 3x 15/38ed jeweles
- leveled to 94
- now 450+ dex (who needs hit points?)
- amu is of course atma's
- replaced Faith Gmb with WF (sockted 15/ 14dmg)

-> now doing over 12k max dmg with guided arrow
Important lessons:
- with AR charms and dex, getting to almost 95% hit chance when using WF (i.e., no Fana Aura)
- WF beats Faith using high-end gear
- A2 merc beats A1 merc
- nicely playable even in 8 player game
- knockback is nice

At this point, it's not clear what else I can do to make the char much better - seems almost at the limit. Maybe replacing forti with J-Armor and 15ias/ed jewels.

Most importantly, I had a lot of fun trying out build combos, gear up, and leveling the char - can only recommend it - thx for all the suggestions
