I'm gold find barb and of course I use merc to kill them. My merc uses Eth Reaper's Toll.

Should I put UM rune on it for more efficiency and killing faster or LO rune for 53% DS?

I know crushing blow won't affect them because there is already decrepify triggered.




What do you think?

Eth Reaper only good for Wind Druids and Hdins trying to clear wave 2 Baal.


You should use botd/tomb

there is some physical immune. You need decrep to cancel it

but that is a good choice. Is it the best? Idk

1. reapers is not the best choice bc it has cold dmg, which means there is chance of shattering corpses so you cant hork afterwards
2. Um rune gives OW, i.e. dmg over time. which is per definition a slow wad of killing (in contrast to direct dmg for the fast way)
3. what?!? ofc crushing blow can affect both decrepd and non-decrepd monsters, those are two entirely different mechanics...

Like I said I need decrepify to put down some physical immunities from 1 or 2 super unique monster. There is no other weapon capable of doing this, otherwise it will be so long waiting on the merc to finish it or maybe you got a cunning way to counter them? Otherwise I don't see anything else.

Amp breaks immunities



You could also use Spellsteel for Decrepify and Teleport.

Honetly think that A5 frenzy does more dmg and more tanky than A2 hire.

A2 hire is only superiour in my oppinion because of auras.

But with horking you don't really need any aura, you could add grief+grief on him,and just warcry the phys immun

Originally i wanted to advice lawbringer, but realize it has ton of cold dmg and also slain monsters so rip
