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.


Edeath colossal sword, 10ds visionary armet, level 21thorns bramble
