pros and cons as always,

typical pros: free to cast even though its 33% chance, decrep slows (better for crowd control), good for wc damage boost

typical cons: cold damage (chance to break/shatter bodies)

Also, hes probably using 10eg/17mana charms to maintain the 1k mana. would leave him with less res if faced with a conviction council

low radius range is annoying

i dont like saying that y barb is getting xx milion gold per hour. We can have 2-2.5k eg but its based on luck mostly anyway.
I had 0 gold run once. 0 from killing, 0 from horking
I had 1.5m run once
I had 480k from 1 council member once (3 gold piles on kill, another 3 on hork)

Actually the best option i've tried is brand bow on switch. 35% to cast lvl 14amplify when struck. Just go/tele into the biggest group and wait 1-2sec with this bow and whole band on big radius is amplified until end of the run. But runes are Jah Lo Mal Gul so bit pricey.

i dont have issue with conv aura, my merc has. And every merc will always have unless you tele away or kite them one by one. There is no merc build that can survive full hydra spawn while being conv. You need to zone properly and take ale the hits from hydra

level 8 Amp has such a massive radius compared to decrep it's not even funny. it's the reason i don't use spellsteel, and why i find reaper's really potato

i don't care about gold from individual runs, i care about average time to gold cap. that's the whole point made in the guide.
i have runs with 200k gold, some with well over 1 million. random is random over a short time span

that's a lot of effort to avoid using gavel, but it's a super cool idea. i kinda wanna mess with this now

and you dont have to repair it every run.
i'd suggest you to try this with hero editor in normal diablo before spending 5k for runes, not everybody likes it. Also there is situation someimes when council 'cast' on you instead of hitting and that not activate amplify from brand. Rare situation but happens sometimes

I stopped reading when I saw tele charges amulet instead of enigma
that and gavel of pain :wacko:
also leap is useless

Quote (thesnipa @ 29 Oct 2021 13:08)

i just run NM while watching tv, rarely have to even leap unless there's some ungodly combo of mods like cursed, fant, LE, etc.

my gold finder hasnt even beat NM baal and he's level 70.

You're seriously arguing that people should be using 35% Crushing Blow over Andy's to kill a bunch of white monsters with twice the life total of an Oblivion Knight?
And I'm the one who doesn't understand how CB works and wherre it's useful?
Come on bro. Wake the hell up. You can't be for real right now.

The Fort Setup has a bit more defense, reducing the odds of being hit by the Super Uniques by 1% more.

That's it. We're trying to minimize the amount of times where we have to go "Oopsie, Merc exploded due to bad RNG".

you don't need CB
