Wilson, dont even begin tell me what know and dont know about mf bots lol

IM fucks 'em up 4-5 times a run in chaos. Loss of gold right there = less gambling = less items

Enable moneymaker nip doesnt keep nothin, just increases gold by selling crap armors

Disable re-equip merc weapon so your etr dont poof not like it is effected by a bug

Eth Tomb Reaver summons returned everywhere you get about 6 on average in every baal run, mass amounts in chaos the mages focus on the the returned most of the time anyways.

nn med act 2 you have redemption

Gamble doesn't get you anything really rofl'd I do it all the time outside my bot and get nothing, what makes you think the bot would be any different

I get im'd 0-3

Next patch, mages dont even cast IM so you will really fail by using a act 1 merc roflmao

Valid points as well. Ty

So it comes down to 2 choices. act 1 with ice or act 2 with etr. LMK ur thoughts.

don't worry about mana. your bot will drink pots by itself, mana burned or not. use the act 1 merc with ice.

i would suggest using 20% dr gaze though since your bot does tele into the middle of huge crowds all the time. every little bit helps your merc. plus you don't need it to do the killing, she's just there to freeze things and not die

wilson why even ask others when u know i run 2 bots with ice merc´s without any problems. theres only 1 thing better about act2 merc. when it comes to the point of killing bosses a act2 merc does better. but doesnt matter at all to my bots all do 13k+ dmg so kill all bosses alone pretty fast. personally i like ice merc>act2 merc just because of the main factor he can get im´d and wont die. and mana is np at all bot will just use mana pots and when u use spirit with 1soj it has after bo around 8xx mana so way enough. end of story

Act 1 with ice bow

Act 2 prayer merc with insight after reset...
