Here's the thread showing why treachery is better

He's on a Java. The damage doesn't even matter

As long as the merc is alive almost every enemy on d2 dies in 1 hit from so far away that sometimes you don't even get xp

Other reason Treachery is ''better'' (not better, just different) than Forty is when some seal boss/lister is both light/phys inmune. The Venom proc on treachery counters that

And well, I meant that with this setup (Treachery, Vampgaze Cham, and Infy in GT) the merc survives in Ubers perfectly, so, for rest of PVM, it's a good combo: CBF, DR%, RESIS, CURSE REDUCTION, FAST ATTACK SPEED (leech), Venom source for inmunities, fhr, etc. Damage and Defense may be lower in the screen, but tbh, defense is useless in PVM on a merc most of the time...

Giant Tresher, that's it.

Post #17 mentionned that thread, that why I posted it if the armor doesn't matter might as well pick the least expensive option if it's the best choice anyway
