Ok so i har the usual insight eth thresher, Andy, forti.

For fun a bought a cheap coa socked with 30 ias
And eth reapers till. I slay much faster thanks to reapers and he also slays better and hes nit as vulnerable anymore. He has never died Since i made the change. What do you think? Im just a noob or what? 😁

Is the original merc not for the player’s benefit (ex. Mana regeneration, etc).

If you want a merc that kills the act 5 barb with last wish is where it’s at.

What character are you playing?

cold sorc

Eth reaper
Guillaume helm
Eth forti

guilaume? why?

Deadly strike, crushing blow

Okey, but no ias and no resistmrtances

Crown of ages is probably better for survival. Guillaume's have 35% crushing blow, so against bosses he will probably deal more damage, but mercs die easily to bosses anyway, and you're typically not relying on them to deal damage against them .. so coa is probably a better overall choice. Deal is it's very rare so it has to be bought with fg.

But yes, your setup is like the ultimate setup for act 2 merc. The reaper's toll is like putting a huge lawn mower in front of him ^^ just mows down everything while slowing it.

The only thing you can change, if you decide to run a melee character or bowa, is to use dracul's grasp so that life tap constantly casts, and use ebodt war pike on the merc. Then he will leech from undead monsters as well and basically never die. Will probably stay alive against bosses too.

thanks for the info, im very happy with my setup right now =)
