yeah I'm level 90 I guess it really is just an annoying elite haha I start to wonder if it's worth to just skip them and go next game for speed sake since I don't have a zerk setup rn

I've done that before, definitely.
My suggestion in that case is really just to upgrade from Glad's Bane if you can at all.

Stone Skin + Phys Immunes are massive pains in the ass no matter what, unless you 1-point Zerk.

Sounds good I've def have had a few runs where the elite is Stone Skin + Fire res those were just pain haha but hopefuilly the fort or coh will help

I've farmed TZ'd Trav a couple of times now, wanted to confirm that council members due to being superuniques, DON'T get their TCs upgraded? Anyone find any uniques from these guys that aren't normally possible?

I did see an archon plate drop though, so their qlvl is for sure being upgraded.

From what I understand they should get bumped up?

Well uniques and champions do, but bosses + most superuniques have hardcoded TCs. Not sure if those get automatically bumped up.

Ah yeah TC is static for those just mLvl goes up so you'll get some new shit

So I need a little advise here for my next step(s).

Currently lvl88 and doing okayish with the budget eth ariocs + ral'd andy + um'd eth bane build. But Waheed just takes too long to kill'em. Survivability is fine, just the occasional phys immun + stone skin or some weirdo Conviction aura guy are challenging. My own gear is not perfect (I have teleport with 20fcr, that must do for now). But since I can't improve anything on my to make the killing faster (apart from stun + repositioning), I guess I should focus on Waheed.

What equip switch will net me the best befinit/cost ratio to improve killing speed while not sacrifising (or even also improving) his survivability?

You need a dps armor (CoH or forti), it makes a MASSIVE difference because the merc doesn't have a lot of off weapon ed from his jab skill. More dps = more leech so it's also a boost defensively.

You're lowish lvl which means hit % isn't going to be great. Make sure to use demon limb enchant on him. AR isn't a huge issue while self dpsing cuz you can just battlecry /use ITD on grief, but with merc ITD doesn't work and you don't want to override Amp.

Best option for phys immune is to wack them yourself with 1 pt zerk.

Conviction aura is nasty esp with unoptimized gear. Can just skip or try to tele snipe yourself with zerk.

Thank you for your feedback.

So dps armor it should be. Is there any option apart from CoH or Foti that is viable and does not cost a fortune?

I know my lvl is lowish, but leveling this guy just does not make any fun at all. But will go 90 today. Was using Demon Limb before 88 but had not noticed a lot of difference since. I see their HP going down with each strike, so Waheed hits, but just hits with little dmg. But maybe I'm not seeing the misses anyway. So will start using Enchant again - until what level does it make a difference?
