Hey, im back.
Some quick questions
My current setup is as follow : Ebotd war pike ( bad rolls, 361ed ), eth fort, ral'd andy
What is the best way to increase his dps further, changing to COH and replacing andy with other helm or upgrading to the best ebotd I can find?
So far my income comes from horking HR ( rarely happens ) and selling gambled circlets ( for like 100-200fg per piece cause mostly bad rolls )
Do you sell IGG? or do you gamble them all.
You can't really get much in the way of DPS increases from here, but there still are some upgrade options besides just getting a better eBOTD roll:
1) Replace Fort with CoH, put a Cham Rune in Andariel's Visage (prevents Freeze & CoH overcaps resists, which is kind of a DPS increase vs. many councils)
2) Replace Andy's Visage with a Guillaume's Face + Cham Rune (lose IAS, gain Deadly Strike for occasional burst, but the Crushing Blow doesn't matter at all)
3) 2os Giant Skull with 2x 15IAS/40ED
(don't recommend)4) 3os Circlet of Wealth or 3os Circlet of Lamprey with 2x 15/40 jewels + a 40ED/30goldfind Magic Jewel (or a 30ED/40Dmg to Demons Rare). This is what I use personally (3os with 80% Goldfind)
Another thing you could try is to get an Normal Act 5 Merc (better stats), put on an Upgraded Ethereal Headstriker with 15/3XED jewl, an Andy's with a 15/3XED Jewel, and CoH to deal with Andy's Resists negative.
This might surprise you.
As far as profit, I gamble Coronets, sell IGG, whatever works.
I mostly tend to gamble for Coronets

For some reason I find eth ariocs either just as efficient or even slightly more efficient than ebotd. I'm using it in combination with efort and e ral'd andys
I agree. I prefer Arioc's personally, as the Deadly Strike bursts down enemies before they get healed very often. It's the same reason A5 Merc with Headstriker succeeds.
