Hello,

I guess this subject has been covered several times but this is my question :
What would be the best equipement for a goldfind barb's mercenary?

I need a very strong merc to destroy travi and let me enjoy free farm on their dead bodies

The Reaper's Toll ?
Tomb Reaver ?

which armor/helm combo etc...

Let me know what you think

~Apo

reapers has cold dmg so that should not be it

I wouldn't depend on merc
Get double grief and merc with Repaer's Toll + Kira (Loed) + Guardian Angel (vexed)

Indeed. Well Tomb reaver is a great item, and it opens up opportunities on helm armor given its high resist.

I d need life steal and cannot be frozen attribute. i guess fortitude is the best dmg armor available. what would you choose?

double grief? what do u mean?

reapers = trash (cold dmg)
tomb reaver = trash (10% chanche to fuck bodies)

botd wp/forti or treache/COT or guillaumes (or GG circ)

you have to tank fire shit

Are you a leap barb build? You could use on switch (find on vendors): Echoing Balanced Knife (+3 Warcries) with Life Tap Charges: (Lvl 4-6 / 90+ Charges)*
Or you can use Gavel of Pain on switch to cast Amplify.

Act 2 Nightmare Might Merc
Ethereal Crown of Thieves: Lem'd
Ethereal Wealth: Archon Plate or Mage Plate preferably Bugged
Ethereal Bonehew: 2x Lem

EDIT: having issues with Conviction aura, just separate council by leaping in between them.

it lloks terribly gold efficient but is it strong enough? I use leap indeed.

I made one mistake in my guide about Goldfind barb... you can not buy echoing knifes with amplify damage... I did this years
ago on Hardcore Hell Trav... if you have a solid way to play it, it is very good.

.... ~@~ My Strategy Doing Travincal ~@~ ....
Basically go to the North East of the building that the council members are in, do not go directly in from the left or center. You will find on most occassions that they are North of this location and you can easily Life Tap the first ones heading towards your merc and switch back to main weapons. Teleport on-the-spot (this brings merc to you and draws in the first few council members).

Now use your "Leap" skill over the first wave of council members, getting in between, this will separate them and allowing your merc the chance to kill them easier, also, if there is a Conviction Aura Council Member, make sure that you are in between him and your merc, and try to separate him from the rest of the council members with your leap skill.

If your mercenary happens to die and he has killed one or more council members, remember to use your "Find Item" skill on the corpses BEFORE going to town to get your merc again. You will not be able to Horck the corpses if you leave the area before using your "Find Item" Skill on them. If you can not make it safe enough for you with the "Leap" Skill, then use the "Howl" skill on the lesser council members.

Depends on if you're killing, or relying on merc to kill.

Most efficient (Gold per run) way is to have merc do the killing and stack GF on your barb.

Merc could go:
Eth CoT
EbotdWP
Eth Treachery
