I would really like to hear peoples view on the change of rule regarding merce.


I'm cool with that. But you should stand by your words. Ppl often make these very harsh rules for their Wt's, and most of them back out or simply die/vanish from the forums..
You can see how many Wt's starting.. Ppl see others farming and getting upgrades and think: "Oh I wanna play D2 again now!", then they get bored and go back to play other games.
When you apply a harsh rule, or limitation for your builds ppl think: "Oh this guy has ballz, If he can pull this off I'm goint to be his fan" (not entirely true ofc lol)

But you see many Wt's starting with x build, and ending with y. That's boring.

My honest opinion, if you get the idea hehe.

haha well that would be a sight, well now that I think about it, fury would really not be that great of a choice for pvm p8, way too low dmg, rather get 300+ ed eth repair ^^
well I am going to need alot of luck and alot of patience to make this build Work, oh and do look at the last page, I editted that, alot of notes on how my future plans are going to look like,
I would like to make a fort armor if I am able :)

I thank you for your honest reply, as I fell somewhat the same.

I tend to want stand by my Words, but if a rule prevents the game from being fun( which is the intire point of playing), that is one thing I like to break, I done some pretty ballzy builds so far, so its not really like I wish to *prove anything*, rather that I find the challenge of certain limitations enjoyable and I wanted to try out a other merce, but seeing how weak this build is, I need all the support I can get and the act1 is just not cutting it.

But if you can overcome this issue later you will be very proud (:

I'm okay with this. I'll still watch...melee chars can be tough enough let alone merc variety.

Well, considering how hard hell gets and how little room for progress / improvement you have specially with a bow archer... switching merc sounds about right to me really ^^

A cold rogue (or a3 cold merc with spirits and a frw hat) is perfectly fine to clear the game. Especially with a 17+ castable tank.

It's been done in gear far worse.
You simply pull 1 by 1, and roll ancients until you can clear them without cos bug.






ps. tiger strike slvl 4 and crafted cb/ow gear

Perhaps, but the way I see it, its a hindrance to Progress/fun, I would have to really Invest alot more time into getting really good gear, which I dont enjoy that much,
if I could go back in time I would have rather made the rule ( try to make it Work with act1 merce) rather then only use it, its a mistake of my part that I have underestimated
this build, as I dont want to use traps( which would be a ideal combo), I feel like this is but a really minor change of the wt and it does not change the build, only makes it more
viable.

I should never have made the rule, then it would not have bin a issue, I like to play and make use of what I come by, rather then to farm the game clean for the perfekt/ideal iterms,
but in my opinion, rules are there to be broken.

I bin thinking about it for a while, such a bothersome thing, I was hoping to make it Work with the act1 merce, but she simply does not seem to cut it.

I am certain it is possible, but the question is, will it be fun to do? Pulling enemys 1 by 1 is a tactic I only do when I
absolutely have to, I dont mind sacrificing survivability for dmg, but not the other way around, now progressing on hell is allways slow, but if it is to become even more slow, just for
the sake of challenge, that will leave me bored, that is not the playstyle I enjoy.

As for the tiger strike, it is indeed a skill I will Invest in, I think I will leave DC at the lvl it is now, maybe a few points in tiger strike, then max shadow master, as for gear, I got alot of Work
to do, this char does not balance out easy.

Thank you and dammit, just did a small research, turns out your right, they cant be gambled eth, guess I gotter hope for one to drop ^^.





Overall I have alot to think about, I havent made up my mind yet, I am do a ton of countess runs, gamble/shop, perhaps return and mf on nm?
