unless your merc kills the monsters, its useless.

Why do you say max Sword mastery if your mercs the one doing the killing?

u freeze monsters = no corpses = no more ez gold

I got a question (if anyone is still posting on this). Would a War Cry barbarian gold-finder be good for trav since it has stun?

nice guide!

How about a pride for merc? More gf, conc aura, +dmg to demons?

I think pride would be good except for the Freezes Target +3

and also how much str would this merc have with gear but no wep?

Sword mastery? why? if you're main point in this barb is letting merc kill, max another war crie to make him more effective, there are no other skills mentioned to go with sword mastery. -- do u use reg attack? ww? or am i missing something? (ide say zerk for phys immunes)

-on the other hand, if u use sm and another combat skill, you can equip merc with last wish or (something else) for that extra useful aura to keep ur damage effective enough to leech and survive. - i was just following guide and i stopped myself before i mastered sword mastery because i was debating on 5lemd runemaster (why either?) i came up with the idea of upping these ali baba's and using them effectively or even going all defense with babas and keepings them non-upped while giving lastwish cs/pb/ etc. to the merc for a more effective kill and leech more with the dmg (might, crush blow , lifetap, and prevent monster heal).^^ wwhat do u think?

Holyfreeze freeze's the monsters, thus, when they are killed, they shatter, leaving no corpses to hork up extra gold/items.

Is it worth using anni?
