haven't even tried prayer tbh. i tend to default to might mercs, so i'm not sure what the best option is


Did they fix the 'bug' of insight merc w/ prayer giving double healing?
That's the only reason I used prayer on my merc that had insight

Honestly didn’t know it was a bug. But I might give it a try lol!

What are your thoughts on the following build?

Starting with Merc Act 5

2X plague mythic swords
Eth fort
Vamp gaze

Sorc

Eschutas
Griffs
COH
Spirit monarch
Arach
2X Soj
Maras
Chancies
Travs

120% FCR, so kinda overkill on breakpoint there if you’re only going for 105. Which imo is plenty.

Of course Anni, sorc torch, skillers, and some MF sc’s

With dual plague, Merc does plenty of damage, has cleansing aura, and 40% chance to cast lower resist.

Would this not be a pretty high damage op Nova ES sorc?

Curious on your thoughts, and compared to the Infinity wielding Nova ES sorc.

Thanks!



The only way to make a nova sorc is one that holds infinity.

Mediation gives healing if prayer is learned, in original d2, a2 merc w/ prayer would heal with prayer and med would give healing

correct, although that is not a bug but a synergy. iirc the same applies to cleansing, you also get a bit of healing if hard points were spent into prayer
