i checked on calculator some builds around that looks rly decent :thumbsup:

now who make the ultimate test plz vs dual headstrikers :D ?

also a big compare on travi: a2 merc vs a5 merc would be awesome...


I think Fury MH will be a bit better even if the sheet DPS might say otherwise. Damage range is higher and you get the OW. It also has a higher hit chance, which means you have a lower risk of failure to streak misses vs. Stone Skin.

With GFace in this instance you can even benefit from the extra 15% DS, which is wasted with Headstriker.

Now to find an eth 3os conquest sword, preferably with 15ed... That's something most people will throw away, unfortunately :cry:

To be fair I think a Cryptic Sword could be a bit better to occasionally 1-shot the Council (higher damage range), given our attack speed, but it has lower average damage.

So with this patch being deployed today so quickly after PTR closing last week, I think the short term question should be whether that hidden find potion synergy bonus is still in the code.

As far as the merc, will probably just stick with single eth up'd HS/forti/Arreats until the dust settles and we get a general consensus.

Don't forget to unequip your A2 merc before jumping on the A5 bandwagon lol

I'm pretty sure Fury MH + Headstriker OH will slap hard.
Arreat's + Fort is fine for the rest, or alternatively some DIY circlets/Armor etc.

This is what I'm going with for now, I think?

Yea pretty sure a lot of the combinations is overly min/maxing, probably very little actual difference in clear speed at then end of the day.

For your specific setup, the only LL is 6% on fury, which is happening every other hit. I'd be worried about survival. On PTR, 6% LL on Arreats wasn't quite enough to guarantee survival for 2x grief. Would probably give up +28str on the circ for 7% LL

Really? That's interesting. I assumed with Visionary the much higher hit rate would compensate. Arreat's has 6% baseline and pseudo-viso, so that can work too.

Do you think Maxrolll calculate all that +max damage properly or are you expecting something higher in real condition ?

It makes sense though. A2 merc has something like 42k dps with amp, and every hit has double digit leech (coh+andy or ebotd). With A5 merc, Fury is doing 25k dps by itself as mainhand, with 6% LL, and amp is going to be overridden a lot by taunt. I just don't think it will be enough.

It is calculated, yes. You can hit up to 75k on some setups, provided you replace 30maxdmg with 40DTD + 15Max
