Not sure that anyone's super interested, but I figured I'd share.

I'm been messing with some close to this setup, and it's awfully bursty, without needing any "impossible" items (Rare Jewels or Rare Weapons/Circlets etc.)
Arioc's + Lo Rune (70% Deadly Strike)
3os Circlet of Wealth (80% Goldfind) + 3x 15/40ED Jewels
Chains of Honor

This hits the 75IAS breakpoint on Arioc's, and CoH takes care of the Resists/Life Leech.
It's definitely missing on the extra goldfind Jewels you can squeeze instead of the 15/40 Jewels, but if the timer ever disappears completely, this competes with DPS Goldfind Barbs.


This seems...very expensive with the jewels and Lo, ha!

To keep it from unbinding you have to exit the game WITH gavel on for console and it stays bound. Thanks for the advice, may want to add this somewhere in your guide cuz the rebind was super anoying



This is exactly why I’m here again. I finally got all my gear setup (kinda meh gear, but waaay past the basics) and couldn’t keep ed or enchant to stay bound) Do we have to log out EVERY time with gavel, or just once?

Should be every time?
I had to make it a habit a long time ago to log out on PC without Gavel, so it's just a single weapon swap tap at the end of the run.

Have you tried Hone Sundan with 3x Pul rune for maximize dps vs demon/AR?

Also lately I don't know if I just been unlucky but man the self healing of trav seem to be pissing me off a bit too much. Might switch back to eth botd.

yeah i tried 3 puls, but Hone isn't a DPS weap. it hits like wet noodle; 40/30s are there just to squeeze more GF out of the sockets.
problem with Puls is the local "Damage vs Demons" doesn't double dip like normal ED :(

and yeah, i feel you

i feel like something changed a patch ago and trav council hits me harder in general, too. unsure if i'm just being paranoid

We have to log out with the item with the charges on we want to stay bound still being whats in our characters hands.

If a weapon is on swap or in stash for console you will have to rebind the charges every game

I also auto log vs conviction aura now. Half the time my merc just died instantly but that may be me swapping out my ral rune for diamond jewel of fervor

I think if you can afford it (or want to), you can try to do a 3os circlet of Wealth with 15@/15IAS x 2 and a Cham rune :D
Maxes out breakpoint + stays at 75 post-Conviction + CBF.

I'm running my merc with an eth ariocs, ral'd andys and um'd eth gbane. I'm certainly not playing optimally yet (just switched to full gf) but it seems like sometimes he just can't stay alive.

Would like to upgrade but getting both ebotd wp and fort is too expensive for me right now. What would you say would have a bigger impact to buy? Ebotd wp or fort ?

First question: what level are you?
And probably Fort.

What's in the Arioc's?
