the rare ring halves frozen time so that's good enough.

it's interesting how any weapon can work with phoenix strike. i've been trying to think of something I should try out instead of claws.

Yeah, but be warned that the most left row in MA tab can't be charged with throwing weapon 🔫

OK. That's a way to solve the issue :)

I'll be using either Reaper's Toll or Infinity on merc.

The former is the best for safety, as mobs are slowed a lot. Besides, your physical dmg is amplified as well. If I took this route, I would have to use Blessed Aim Aura as my Asa's AR will be very low. I'll use spirit as her shield for +2 skills.

The latter is good for amplifying elemental dmg. And I can choose Might Aura, thanks to Conviction Aura which lowers mobs' defense a lot. I'll use SS as her shield for DR.

I'll test both once I got an eth Warshrike :wacko:

if I could afford infinity I would 100% go that route and rely on potions to get me out of a pinch withh mana burn.

True.

Insight is never an option for my final builds so far.

As a matter of fact, I go either Reaper's Toll or Infinity for most cases.

Reaper's Toll: Hammerdin(Redemption), Fury/Rabies Druid(Mana leech), Blizzard/FB Sorc(Mana Regen/pots)

Infinity: Javzon(Phoenix shield=Redemption), Uber Zealot/Smiter(Mana leech), Nova/FB Sorc(Phoenix shield=Redemption), Talon/Trapper Sin(Mana leech), Fury/Tornado Druid(Mana leech), Elemental dmg Bowazon(Mana leech)

Harmony: Poison Nova Necro(Iron Golem made out of Insight)

OK, I FAILED.

You can charge with throwing weapon, not by throwing but smacking! lol. There's no point to use throwing weapon then 😭

I equipped her with: CoA(Lo and Lo), Warshrike, Treachery, Mara, Spirit, Raven, BK, Razortail, Gore(upgd)

I admit I wasted 2 x Lo...

Now I gotta reconsider everything from scratch, lolololol

I tried some gears including:

Rift+Nightwing
Lawbringer
Gimmer
Bartuc(200ed+8LL but ed doesn't matter with kick)+Jade Talon
upgd Gore
Shadow Dancer(+2, 22dex)

And found the biggest issue with Tail is its mana consumption: 10 mana per kick, as I wrote b4.

Compare it to Talon: 6 mana for multiple kicks.

While 3% ML from my gloves are enough for Talon, even 3% + 15% from Jade Talon are not enough for Tail.

So Insight on merc is a must.

I gotta make an Insight now <_<

Tried some including Enigma but settled:

Lawbringer PB
CoA
Spirit Monarch
Mara
Treachery
+2 MA Gloves
Raven
Carrion Wind
String of Ears
Shadow Dancer

And put 1 point to Blade Fury to take care of mana burn ❤️‍🔥

Not bad at all but Talon is superior :cry:
