Yes a War Spike is an 'Axe class' weapon, which is suitable for Beast. It would also give the same ias breakpoint as Caduceus, 8 frames. There are three problems with it for this build though:
1. The strength requirement is too high to fully utilize the massive +strength bonus from Beast runeword
2. The durability is by far lower than that of the Caduceus. 26 for War Spike and 70 for Caduceus. Going to town to repair all the time is no fun!
3. The 50% damage to undead on Caduceus which the War Spike does not have.
Bonus: Caduceus is cooler because it is more rare.


pro explanation. GL with your base good sir.

Same game, I made the walk of shame back to an earlier point in the Pit to pick up this Ral I had ignored earlier as I now need it to socket the next caddy -_-


Found the Thul I needed to complete this!


Now have all the socketing ingredients again.

:thumbsup: Really nice find for merc since we are on the cusp of starting up Meph runs. I will use one of my socket quests on this item soon.


Merc loves it already!


Now I've found Witchwild and 2x ed/ias jewels! Hobbes would have made a good hunter druid ^_^

Went back to Normal at the end of my runs today to socket the Gface. I was ready for a map change anyways!


Socketed with the better ED/IAS jewel

Haha thanks man, will do. I'll have to get pretty lucky to compete with a sorc using a summon/fc hybrid for meph runs XD especially since my gf is taking up a lot of my time now. But I'm down to race for arachnid's :lol:

For what it's worth, I don't find much time to play, much less than I would like to at least. :D

You may yet have a chance! Plus, Pure Fire build won't be the fastest Meph farming machine. :P

The a5 merc has forti but once I change to an a2 merc I will swap for Treachery, which when combined with fanat from beast will give him a 4 frame attack speed :drool:
Going to play a few hours tonight, with any luck we will see the Beast made!
