Yep!
Basically comes down to being a lot more "aware". This entire build is predicated on the idea that you're paying attention to where you & your Merc are, and what the Auras are, etc.
I'm glad you found better success after more time with the build.
The "time to 10 mil" varies now based on the in-game timer, but with GG gear you're looking at 20-22 minutes with a 60s timer. That assumes you just pick up & stash without IDing on the spot, mostly.
Without GG gear you should be able to get that done in 30 minutes if the timer is 60s? That's 90s per run, including repairs/stashing, etc.
If the timer is 90s, everyone ends up very, very sad, but you can run more Goldfind on the Merc then, with a slower kill speed.
Loading times are a pain in the ass for some people; what I've found is that uncapping my FPS helped with loading, lowering settings as well, and you can "pre-walk" during Loading. Your character for instance upon a fresh game can walk towards the waypoint, and you can normally walk a bit in Travincal while you're loading there, etc. I sometimes even Teleport not even seeing the screen, and I'll be halfway to Trav already :rofl:
Ok so.. I ended up really enjoying this build and decided to go all out - got ebotd wp and fort for my merc. But I wanted to ask about those times to 10 mill. Lets say 22 mins per 10 mill - that means roughly 500k profit per run assuming you always hit the 60 sec mark. 500k profit is ~600k per run since tele charges+ enchant + gavel charges is roughly 70k per run? My pc is slow so my load times that i've timed (create game -> wp trav ->tp act 3 -> wp act4) are ~30 sec. So I guess a good pc gets maybe 15 secs on those? Can you really average a 45 sec run without load times? I'm pretty sure I've smoothed out inconsistencies and figured out exactly how to amp dmg , hork while enemies are stunned, collect gold and look out for desirable items on ground etc but still a 45 sec average run including everything seems quite fast. It might only happen on my fastest runs. Also I'm averaging ~450k including expenses at best from my notes until now (2050 gf%). Am I missing something?
