I'm a fan of the amp / beast, swap back to CS for hork. Been doing it for months now but recently i've been running a few without amp and just beast, its pretty quick and less repair runs.

What are your thoughts on this modification though?

Blessed aim merc, 10% gain in hit chance (80 to 90),
LW/Beast then 6lem/6lem on swap for hork.
Actually more DPS 64 vs 69k with your DIY beyond broken,
but then less GF per kill, but same GF per hork


Brand bow on switch
Cast amplify whole screen without ever repair, tele in get yourself hit, barbs have high life anyway, never died with that setup, and merc does double damage always, gavel 2charges is annoying

Brand Bow has felt atrocious the couple times I tried it; Merc just kills shit when you're off your goldfind setup :(

I tried brand bow setup even aferr exokek warned that me it was bad lol. It's not atroicius by any means, but wildly inconsistent. Had to regear everything to reduce defence (cracked BP wealth, really low def boots, no shout, etc).

The best I could manage was 17-18 min runs for 10M, while self dps and gavel setups can get down to 13:xx

I don't think so. 10% proc is abysmal, no?

I kept reworking on the zerker variation and I would like to share another upgrade I have done, finally picking what I think is the "bis" swap slot:

- enter wizardspike.


with a 20fcr amu you naturally reach 11frame fcr on main side, and demon limb plus wizardspike let me tele at 9frames (67fcr breakpoint)

I use 80eg 3os helm since I consider it "bis" for pure eg finding (I gived up on looting in NL) and this set up let you reach a very nice mix of breakpoints, at least imo. Especially in this variation, since you can't pick up extra fcr with a rare belt due to goldwrap unlocking your last ias bp.

I'm till using enigma for minimal repairs per run plus frw since the whole point of zerker /merc with guiface is to faceroll immunities without Gavel and overall "lazy" running, but if you want to stick to a tele ammy you will need 2x warcry/eg GC to reach 75% find items and most likely you should use a couple of 15@/40eg GC to fix resist compared to the following TC draft:

For pure gf I doubt you can afford to use wizzy + limb + engima.

Even with self dps build, you're supposed to rely on merc to finish off the last 40% ish of council while you hork. Which significantly reduces the need for fcr.

My zerk build did 13:xx runs for 10M gold using this strat, and I only had 10 fcr cuz shit gear on ladder lol.

Started writing something similar this morning and gave up halfway. Thanks for guarding the beacon of my sanity.

Anyone else experiencing a bug where amp no longer shows up over enemies after casting? Enemies are clearly affected by the curse, but I can no longer see the curse symbol over their heads.

Few notes from Ladder:
- Gambling takes time too. It's not race to 10kk it's race to 2.5kk, Edge swap, full spend.
- Napkin math says 4x6 empty inv slots for 35000 items is extremely worth it early ladder. Maybe forever worth it.
- Grim Ward is 120% amp, decrep, and terrify all in one on unnamed council members. Shutting down their healing is worth a corpse.
- Harmony on swap if you're minimizing load times by staying A3.

With perfect gear gavel amp speed probably can't be beat at trav specifically. Everywhere else it's dumb.
