So the question never been answered scientificly and mathematicly.

Given that the merc has lvl 9 fanaticism and monsters have amplify damage curse, which setup would get max damage?


I figured out 415 ebotd war pike + efort + gface with 40ed 9str jewel is highest.

but my calculation may lead to tomb reaver with 3 Lo runes having a higher damage then ebotd wp.

ALSO, I read that when crushing blow is applied, normal damage isnt. Is this true?

is it legal to bump those thread?

Taking an educated guess I'd have to say a perf ed eth tomb reaver with 3x LO would in fact be better than eBotd war pike.

Not sure if it would be best with a 15 ias 40 ed jewel and 2x Lo or just 3x Lo. Get up an IAS calculator and work it out.

Yes from most of my calculation the OHM + 2X Lo better then 3x Lo, with gface,
BUT even better with 40/15 and 2x Lo with GFace with 40ed/9str jewel.

NOW tho..
This merc uses an aura some other merc already offers in the party.

That beeing said, if he has might, concentration, fanaticism, and more, would it be even more damage to go the eth upped headstriker + fort + gface ?

I thought somebody already, in all those years, came to some conclusions somewhere but it all seems to still be a vague debate.

and Ive tested a weapon with +100 crushing blow and crushing blow doesnt prevent normal damage from beiing applyed.
they both add to each other. so good news here.

Will probably know

just use an a2 for that perfect mercdin youre making

a5 is fun though

Yes I am testing a5, he knockbacks, which slows the killing speed. Instant rollback to a2.

I am trying to figure out best match on the tomb reaver. Not sure if I should use andy or gface because of its crushing blow.
And 1 or 2x 40/15 in the tomb reaver ..

I use peterpaul damage calculator and the ias calculator you find first in google which is the good 1.

Gulli, treachery and reapers toll, with 2x 40/15 if you can afford Its the best.

If you meant raw damage maybe botd

My merc reaches 60k dmg ( critical strike/ deadly strike) with the auraswap glitch

this reduces my damage. every monster are amped damage from a curse necro.
This is a 100% max synergy party.



I have level 53 concentration, 53 enchant, 51 heart of wolverine, 19 might, 9 fanaticism, 19 blessed aim and more and damage with perf eth botd war pike shows 31k.

I dont know the aura swap glitch tho?

Id be happy to show anybody some probably never done before builds. on ladder.

by max skill I mean you need the +3 circlet or +3 summon +3 heart of wolverine, you need max skill possible and get res, fhr, etc, from within the max possible skills,
it is really fun , barb has the +6 bo 100 life 2 os helm etc!! real important MAX synergy possible.

thats why there is 2 merc that dont need to give any aura, they can use raw damage.
but the question yet is between tomb reaver and ebotd war pike or ghost spear nobody has any answer based on math, but people have opinions.

btw I dont care the price at all but not looking for rare, I know eth war pike 40 ias 450 ed 2 os gets the highest, but other then that which one is it!!
