Been noticing today while running chaos that my mercs treachery isn't proccing fade. Thought maybe it was just me killing too quickly, but even trying to prebuff in Tristram wasn't working.

Anyone else having this issue?

Not yet at least...

fade from treachery procs off taking dmg, so if you kill fast enough that is doesn't proc, your merc doesn't even need it I guess
serious answer: it's only a 5% to proc, so to get a 50/95/99% probability for the proc he needs to take damage for 14/59/90
after all it's random...

advice at the end: use the fires at river of flames way point for prebuff. much faster access than Tristram, especially since you visit that wp anyways for chaos runs

This is very helpful information. I've never had this issue before. I'll try this tonight if I notice fade not procing on its own. Thank you.

Sometimes it doesnt proc, but usually it does for my chaos runs(but yeah ots 5% Chance so if ur killing fast it wont proc lol)

The fire pillars in river of flame waypoint is not helpful for mercs, because you won't get him to stand in it because he wanders around.

You know another spot to try besides Tristram burning houses for merc then? Those aren't seeming to work best I can tell.

No fire spots work well for mercs because they wander around. Just play normally until it procs or he dies, revive if he dies, keep playing.

I've experienced long periods with fade not procing .. but i don't think i've noticed like it felt bugged.

One thing to try, if you're simply trying to find out if it is bugged, is to go to normal or nightmare act 3 in the jungle, find some packs of fetish blowdarts and let them batter your merc.. they are typically 10-20 of them shooting projectiles so he takes a lot of hits.. take off his weapon so he don't kill them, and helmet to reduce armor. The armor must stay on obviously.

Great idea! Thanks!

I made good experience with teleport, that keeps him in place good enough. but yes, if you don't have teleport available, you could go jungle or travincal for the hydras
