I'm Level 95 WW barb.
I run A5 frenzy merc

- Eth Andy w/ Cham rune
- Eth SA 15ED Fortitude
- Dual Last Wish PB

My merc, with my own shouts, sits at 5.6k HP and 48k armor + Fade proc

Dual Last wish gives Life Tap procs.

Does it make sense to try to swap to dual Lawbringer for Decreptify procs?
This is for open world 96tz 8 player count games.

I'd imagine for Ubers, it makes more sense to swap to Last wish for life taps (so I dont have to swap to Dracs).

I can generally kill absolutely everything and every Herald combo possible, even Underdead with Thorns, or Consecration+Might+Amp Damage.

Does Level 34 Might aura really help my WW dual grief damage?
Curious in exploring other set ups.

I just tried Death+Lawbringer, but proc seems rare and Glacial Spike doesn't seem to AoE at all. And rare too.

New unique sword with amp is the best on barb

Dreadfang I assume.
May I ask why?

On merc? Frenzy merc gets max IAS possible, thus leeching more, faster procs, more self sustain and faster movement speed.
Or you mean on the barb? Why? WW does not proc curses. I run 400+398 dual Grief PB right now.

What makes Dreadfang superior?

Yes i mean dreadfang on merc.i use this on my ww barb.if you using enigma on your barb for positioning your merc and merc have last ias bp and cbf,amp>might aura.give it a try,eth dreadfang dont worth much.

My a5 merc will hit you with 75k dmg per strike 😁😉XD

If you’re gonna use a runeword use perfect 15/3 edeath colossus sword. Otherwise get you a nice erep rare sword with ctc amp with high dmg like 250+

What is it?
My merc's job is to life tap and stay alive/soak. I run dual Grief (400+398) on my WW barb. And he gets fade too.



I use Last Wish for the Life Tap procs.
Is Death Good? Should I not be running Life Tap?

I've tried a few other weapon options, even dual Lawbringer for Decreptify - but it sucked in 96tz p8 scenario

Just for more context, my merc can solo trav council in 96tz 8p. And he stays alive. He prob dies once a week at most.
Dude is hella tanky. +enchant from Demon Limb boosts his AR a bit.
