Hi fellas

I am currently doing a (private) walkthrough with a frenzy barb.
I have currently finished NM and wanna go to hell. I am desperately looking for a LEM rune to make the runeword Lawbringer in order to deal with phys immunes.
I have seen different approaches - either equipping the lawbringer or using A5 merc with Lawbringer. Which is most effective?

My guess would be, that the barb should use the lawbringer himself with early-mid gear and when you have some nasty Grief/Death runewords you can use an A5 merc if u wish.

Am I correct? I dont wanna waste the LEM that I am desperately grinding right now

Reapers on act2 might aura merc is better then act5 with lawbringer.

Well, there are alot of different approaches. If you got decent weapons like butchers, headstriker, oath or such you could go with act5 merc.

tyvm - was sort of my thinking as well.

You will probably find a dozen of LEM before your first Reaper...

Frenzy barbarian deals with physical immuned by using Berserk (1 point invested).

I was about to say, why not Berserk? In tandem with Howl, you can split up phys immune packs and deal with them accordingly.

This for sure.
