Freeze to help with defensive play (as it slows monsters down)


Or might if defense isn’t a priority and you want your merc to do more damage against lightning immunes.



It’s more of a preference thing. I personally would go with freeze but if I had a zon It was botting with 4-7 other chars to help with clear speed. So dealing with immune qasnt a problem nor did merc damagw really matter.

i don't like act2 mercs in cows. they try to tank cows and die. an act1 merc lives longer in cows, and it can use insight or harmony bow for vigor.

still infinity merc with might aura to kill light immunes that dont break from conviction or holy freeze just for survivability

if you truely want change… you would not be a lightning fury zon but instead be a charge strike and lightning strike spearazon using mat spear infinity and then you change to act5 frenzy merc with eth upd head striker + eth plague conquest/cyrptic/mythical sword.
Plague is just a utility weap providing lower res procs on stuff you dont instantly kill.
