Kingslayer in etheral cryptic sword can become a good alternative to grief early ladder for a5 merc. You even have got 40% extra gold on them.


Yeah, my first early ladder test build for an A5 GF merc was going to be 1x Oath & 1x Kingslayer, that way you get the higher raw damage of Oath & the OW/CB of Kingslayer

Just tested in PTR 2.4, prevent monster heal on kingslayer is more important than one thinks in trav.

Yeah if you can get OW it helps a lot if you don't have bursty DPS.

I tested amazon today, mostly bowazon. Spearzon sucks beside botd warpike variation which I don't have a base for in PTR. I'll capture travi barb tests tomorrow and post here so we can see what's up. I even had the idea to give him lawbringer in a crystal sword. That way he won't finish any council member off but can still apply decrepify.

But still stops them from regenerating any health then open would keeps them bleeding.

I'm at the point where I'm probably going to shove a Cham in my own helmet. The freeze feels like it's probably clunking a couple of runs; swapping out a Lem in the helm is still better than trading off an Ali Baba/Lem sword for Runemaster.

What do you think guys :)?
It has -20 speed

All cost me below Ist - one blue jewel 13max/37demon dmg+ar, rare jewel 37demon+ar/5min dmg/some fire dmg
Fire dmg is nice add for light immunes council members

I plan to use it paired with eth upped Headstriker.

Demon ED on weaps is bad.
Fire dmg is 100% useless at Trav

Headstriker is the best option tbh
