. Faster Runs Even in HARDCORE and Hell difficulty;
...A.. You can tele your merc into position instantly, hence no w8ing on it to walk to you or appear
...B.. You do not need to change wpn because of physical immunes (Bonehew > Damage than Reapers)
...C.. You do not have to leave game and leave a physical immune in there and can not kill with bonehew or other
...D.. You do not have to worry about your merc dying, he leeches more life with life tap, so you do not have to recover merc as much
...E.. You keep a very high amount of Goldfind percentage, and getting upto 150k per kill and also upto another 150k per horck (sometimes the bod gives 3 amounts of gold when horcking and killing)
This build does approximately 2 - 3 runs and fills a lvl95 character up with gold (that is in the chest and the inventory)
I should know, I was doing it last season and filled up 2 accounts full of lvl89-96 lvl chars, the reason why I did this, is so that I could just gamble all the gold in just one game and POSSIBLY get better items.
Eth Hone Sundan (forgot name) is a good weapon, 1 more slot, no BoneSpear skill
Reapers toll has the ability to shatter
as for Obedience, no need.
As for the whirler, i am assuming that you mean a WW Barb (if not ignore), If you can run enough games to fill up a lvl95 character with gold b4 i were to do 2-3 runs, then I might concede.
Ali baba's are old school, they are for the mf and goldfind, yes they are not disputed, but I have found more Jewellers with less mf.
1st of all...
your merc may do up to 4 attacks/s
a whirler on maxspeed with 2 weapons attacks 12,5 times/second
meaning roughly 3 times faster killspeed... not to mention higher damage, more ofgten triggered cb and so on
or the fact that your merc attacks one monster at a time, while the whirler attacks several monsters at the same time
so basiccally a lot faster runs -
not that much less EG.... I doubt that you have 4 times the amount of eg on a shouter than on a whirler
----
more gold in the same amount of time
2nd: bonehew deals far less damage than reapers because reaper`s has 33% ds meaning 33% chance to deal double damage
bonespear without synergies does not deal that much damage lvl 16 bonespoear deals: 154 - 162 (ø158)
3rd: high council are bosses with high amount of life... CB deals most damage with bosses
-
obedience> bonehew
other weapons are also far better than bonehew, like insight or tombreaver...........
4th...
I have never met any barb that hadf any problems with physical immunes.. what do you have berzerk for?
5th I never worry about any merc dying tal rasha helmet/guillaumes/s face (um) + gladi and he is safe in travi... if he has some nice decent weapon
