Pride is good for p1 but other than that eth reapers with ber in it is the best.

I use eth reapers might merc for p1 too since p1 2 multishot and everything's dead anyway. Then boss reapers rekt

To restate it for others who are new here

If you are running Faith on your zon, act2 merc is at top ias bp with treachery.

So you don't need 15ias jewels on reapers and gface. Just ed jewels and res or ber for reapers.

Absolutely rekt bosses which is the weakest part for physical bowzon. And telebowa is perfect for this merc since you can tele him to Frontline and step back to shoot.

Decriptify is mini amp. 50% slow weaken and physical res lower. So physical dmg does a lot more dmg.

Lawbringer decriptify gets erased by LW life tap so it's garbage.

And Act 5 can NOT connect the hits to the boss no matter what kinda GG gearing I throw at him.

I tried every set up possible, nothing comes even close to how gg eth reapers might merc Emilio.

thanks! what's the minimum IAS for A2 merc with eth reapers to hit max bps? He has fana aura already so i think put a Shael'd reaper should be able to hit the bp? I am thinking to use Duress instead of treachery

That's the beauty of this.

He does NOT need any ias jewels. All he needs is treachery and your Faith aura :)

I usually use low defense treachery to proc his fade quicker. No need for thos fancy gg eth treachery.

Duress is nothing compared to treachery on this merc, so don't even waste time there.

After your tests you still recommend tele over runner? I can imagine that tele is very helpful but fort dmg boost plus chilling armor is undeniably a very strong combo with frw from helm and inventory. Your thoughts? Would a combination of magus on circlet + enigma + max/frw/ar inventory be a solid choice?

Yes I've done this thousands of times. I had so many haters when d2r first launched and posted about this. Everyone laughed at shadow and mat faith too. Mostly gmb users.

I called them out to post a quicker p8 clearing video. Nobody ever did.

Telebowa is the best for pvm and possibly pvp too.

Enigma gives the biggest FRW boost in the game and I use 3 columns of Inertia Charms to get to around 150frw with eth titan as telebowa pvp zon.
