And now i need a break. HUH. Progress as shit.

I ll take those gore riders off you with pleasure

Nice progress keep going.

Are you going to stop once finish or carry on farming until you are wearing enigma and so on?

35cb from guillys+the speed and damage ebotd and on p8 a merc with that gear+its aura will be doing probably 5k damage if not more with insane ias+12-15 ll making it basically invincible, high numbers+ll=merc staying alive much easier, ebotd really isnt a waste, what else you gonna do with a zod if it drops? put in shako?

ik infinity is best wep on necro merc but imo nigma is first

Wow, CtA is perfect job, and damage over 6k like hammerdin looks so cool

Its low dmg. I need 10k to be happy

Congratz on that CTA (gieb!) and gl hf, makes me a bit nostalgic!

Also, sorry for debating in your topic, but I believe it's fairly relevant!



I don't even know where to start! There are so many reasons EBOTD sucks on mercs. There are ALWAYS better options.

For a P Nova Nec I'd go: Infinity > Eth Hone Sundan > Obedience > Eth Reaper's Toll > Insight > EBOTD.

Here's why:

P Nova is awesome versus monsters and minions, when they die you want to CE. The time it'd take to kill a unique boss is fairly even among all these better poleaxes and speards and it's not here that you really need them. You need the CB on Act Bosses. And here Infinity, Eth Hone Sundan, Obedience and Eth Reaper's are all better. Eth Reaper's is annoying with the Decr porccing over LR, but anyone having P Novad an act boss in p8 knows it doesn't really matter what curse they have opn them. Merc is doing all the work for you untill low percentages anyway and this is faster with more CB.

Mercs take 1000% increased damage versus bosses and lifesteal doesn't work. They also only deal 25% of normal damage against act bosses. CB will do a lot more than higher damage numbers here. Especially on /p8 (it doesn't scale, yes, but it'll deal bigger chunks of damage anyway).

Lifesteal is overrated on mercs at the point of which you have an EBOTD. My Nec merc has 0% lifesteal and never dies and I've never used Andariels on bnet either. Where he needs lifesteal (on act bosses) it doesn't work and where he doesn't need it (pits for example) it works but makes no differenece. If you can't kill a pack of monsters before your 4k life merc dies from damage you are doing something wrong and EBOTD wont solve it (other items will). If you need some lifesteal while you progress, go get Tal's Helm or Vamp Gaze or Crown of Thieves or something like that untill your high level enough!

Eth Reaper's Toll + Eth Bugged Treachery + Gulli Face is a lot better for pure damage than any EBOTD "build".

If you attack a normal monster with 1 000 000 000 000 hp and without CB, EBOTD would rape but that doesn't happen in this game.

EDIT: EBOTD is the Colossus Voulge of runewords!
