Yup, hades is a nice bridge item, it is perfectly servible as "entry level" and also gucci with rare jools.

Last point on why I like GFace: FHR is just the icing on the cake, what I love about it is that our Emilio kill stone forge by himself in 4 shots due to CB and you can skip the messy 3 charge 2h item swap.

My reason why I'm debating to try my luck and craft a CTA in a 15/3 scourge base is that I switch to Grief once in a blue moon, only for those pesky phisical immu with nasty affixes, so 5k vs 13k is not a BIG loss compared to up to 7BO.

At the end they are both are kinda useless/servable the same way, in p1 most of the stuff is aesthetic and completely overkill once you are set with your pet killing speed.

Yeah, honestly there's no reason pushing damage when it's impossible to ever get under 90 seconds with the game timer anyway, so just have fun with it

Oh wow I never would've even noticed haha, I small talk with Halbu for 20 seconds every game to avoid the timer, he could've had the decency to tell me

Would a visionary mod, 98ar , 5% life steal 24% mf circlet be actually a good helm on my merc? More ar = more dps on trav right?

Yes. I've been looking for one like this, so I'd say yes :D

Not unless you can find a 20IAS jewel :( (doesn't exist :rofl: )
I'm usually a bigger fan of Arioc's with that kinda Circlet since you can 15IAS/ED the Arioc's, but eBOTD is fine. It might be a bit slow to attack though.

Before you socket it with anything, try it out as it is. I still think overall Demon Limb is better, but it's more micromanagement.
The whole point of the Visionary mod is to compensate partly for Demon Limb, if you'd rather not use it.

I havent being using demon limb cause I find it a little troublesome… but I noticed did the merc miss his attacks a little too much sometimes ( lvl 92 ). If this circlet works, i might try socketing my ed to demon jewel with some fire resist so i could “stack” a little against the irritating conviction

Yeah if you weren't using Demon Limb, the eBOTD Merc sometimes just goes full potato with miss streaks :/
