Setup I'm using right now, which is using a 410% Goldfind Merc:
- Upped Eth Hone Sundan with 2 Lems and an Amn Rune
- 3os Circlet of Wealth (80%) + 3x 40ED/30%goldfind
- Black Hades with 2x +15AllRes/30Goldfind + 1x40ED/Goldfind

It's pretty neat. It's a super goldfind-heavy Barb that actually can kill fast & survive well. It's nice.


Faster clear time than atriocs/coh/andy or about the same? Notice amount of gold drop increase?
Finally have my barb at 250 All Resist / 37 FCR / 15 FHR Breakpoints and wondering if I should spend the time reinvesting back into the mercenary.

It's nowhere near faster, or safer, it's just more gold per run (useful if the timer is above 60s). I only did it because the 90s timer was waaaay too long.

My shit 10yr old computer and it’s load time keeps me from getting done before the game timer cap. Just bought a 3060 desktop on cyber Monday so should be lightning fast comparatively but have to wait until January for the delivery.

new "autocast" feature kinda sucks w/ Demon Limb Enchant. the enchant ends up being auto casted on your barb vs. your merc and there's no way to direct it to your merc using the autocast method.

sucks cuz the other autocast functions like teleport are great.

you also cant run around while autocasting so if you're holding down "Find Item" while moving your mouse, your barb will not move.

based on this very early testing, i do not suggest using autocast for this particular GF barb build

Totally agree, not good for goldfind barb. You can bypass it by selecting Enchant on your right mouse-click, which will allow you to target your merc but this adds a few APM. Also totally agree that the other autocast functions are great for this build (warcry, bo/bc/shout, tele) but Enchant breaks it. Perhaps the solution is to level up more and increase the merc's chance to hit that way, reducing the need for Enchant?
