nah i already have one, can't sell it for 4k =p

10fhr
visionary
LL/7Dstrike
13life
9fr
2os


Ah yeah it would need to be in an elite base with good def and better ds roll to sell for 50k+

I have a 10ds/2os non visio one, technically at higher clvls the visio isn't giving you much higher chance to hit. So compared to Cham'd gface you're losing 5-10% ds, cb, some fhr, but gaining a socket and maybe visio. Probably pretty close and not worth it.

i mean it's an armet base, which is a great base
just needs insane def to be worth a ton, always

the upside over gface is the 2os
you have room for cham + a 15/40 in it to hit 6.25 breakpoints on beast setups

if you have a rare gfg polearm you can Lo it and with the helm you reach high enough crit to 1-Jab everything

but that's like... the highest end of the highest end overkill merc setup, trophy level

Thoughts on budget Merc build using A5 frenzy Merc with something like 2x Crescent moon or Crescent+ Lightsabre w/ Tal helm+Duriel

Or Unbending Will + Headstriker w/ Kira + whatever offensive armor

Don't use A5 merc for Trav
That's about the extent of my thoughts

Why not? With low gear, DPS is better/almost the same as A2, even without Frenzy stacks

Then do that, seems fine.
Would sooner arioc amn + gface

DPS on a5 is unpredictable & he overrides amp all the time

First of all, thanks for all the informaron I've found here!

I'd like to ask you some things. I'm doing a sc 200fcr mf zerker to farm P1 zones. My doubts are about the weapons, I've thought about Grief PB + 6Ist PB, and then socket an ias/mf jwl on 2os helm to reach the last BP.

I've seen you've also tried Grief + Beast, and then isted wizzys to hork, but you lose quite a lot mf.

Which weapons choice do you think is the optimal?

Have you tried any WW build with 200fcr? Is it any viable?

Thank you in advance!!

swap 200fcr setup example

main set grief beast 446MF
you can PB Grief + Ist offhand if you want (diminishing returns on MF make this not worth it imo)

can stick to dual grief main set if all you farm is Trav~
