Well, im going to try something else.

A2 might merc with eth botd war pike, and then buy 2x high ed 5s runemasters.

max axe mastery, 5 lems in each gives 375 goldfind. Losing mf from alibaba but I want fast runs ~~

whats the final dmg on alibaba if you upg the weapon to elite?

nvm..you still can't kill anything with alibaba's. Merc does the dirty job

My Gold Find Barbarian:

Helm: 2xLem Ik Helm
Weapons: 2 x Lemed Alibaba's
Armor: Wealth [you will do fine without enigma...]
Gloves: Chance
Rings: 2 X Dwarf
Belt: Rare GoldFind Belt with life and res
Boots: Rare GoldFind Boots with frw res and dex
Amulet: 3 bo amu [haven't got + eg on it yet ^^]

Invertory:
Torch, Gheed, Gold find charms and some res charms

Merc: [Act 2 Offensive Merc] You don't need any item on him that adds cold damage because corpses will melt and you can't use find item on them for extra gold and maybe nice items^^

Eth Crown of thieves [lem]
Eth Forty
Eth Botd War pike

He gets around 500k per run and he can do it in 1-3 min [ in hell ofc ]


Not bad guide btw

Lol I just tried a2 might merc with eth botd war pike, 2300-10400 dmg instead of 3300-5600 or so from a2 merc.

Really WAY better speed ^^

i love your guide. thanks

More or less had the same build, except for Lem'ed Kira's as helmet instead of CoT. I needed the resists, and CBF comes in handy.

Around 2,1~2,2K FG in total. A2 merc with BoTD WP, Eth Forti and Eth CoT. Worked as a charm.

nice guide

you should just have nigma on and tele on the monsters, and then switch to wealth be4 merc kills them etc it works well. also on my gf baba i gambled a nice circ that i like more then ik helm or crown it gives
2 baba
80% gf
22 all res
20% frw
and 38 life
i lemd it for more gf
i like it more for the res and life as well as decent gf with more barb skills
and pick up rare belts as u can find fhr/str/life/gf 1s pretty commonly in my cases
id prefer the cold aura merc over a might simply because the cold aura makes them considerably slower id take that over a bit of damage any day. just some tips

Great Guide, I have fun with my GF Barb.
The only thing I would add, I have a wand with 90 charges +4 lvl Life Tap. The Barb merc has no problem staying alive and the pots keep me alive as I walk around and horc up more gold.
Oh yeah, quick note: dont go back to town or go below (durance lvl1), that makes the few already slain bodies of the council disappear.

i have one question. What do you guys think about using act 1 mercenary with ICE made in bow? It has 300+ goldfind, good dmg, holy freeze... can be a trouble to get creeps to fight the archer, not you, but when you make her go forward you can get more gold and kill em good.

What do you think?
