You clear faster than 45s on that setup? It usually got me very similar times minus the extra GF.

Edit: or do you mean that you get to skip the Merc setup?

I tried an Infin merc playing a GF Trav Zerker and it was insane how consistently you can get damage out.

Wow, the setup is very similar except I don't have your tiara and gozu charms. Yeah, the annoying parts were manaburning and conviction aura. My merc wears infinity GPA, Guardian angel with ral and crown of thieves with ral. His conviction aura cancels theirs and he helps killing them, I cast warcry and zerk them one by one. I don't have a 2 socketed tiara like yours, I use a 2x lem-ed ik helm. I get the cannot be frozen from runemaster so I can wear goldwrap and my teleport charges are on my amulet.

Yeah, my current setup is zAxe with Runemaster, but PBs are technically optimal. I just hate how they look

I also messed with an Eternity zAxe instead of Grief, since it has CBF and frees up all the slots for GF. The DPS is noticeably lower though unless you use Gavel of Pain before going nuts.

Have you tried edeath in an eth zerker? I am going to try tomorrow, gonna sleep now.
Stylewise, magic stick blue sword as main and runemaster OH doesn't look so bad. You skill sword mastery anyways. My favourites for style are war pike, gpa and hammer+flail or axe+flail for dual wield. I made a schaefers hammer + stormlash uber frenzy barb some time ago. He was awesome, played through the whole game. At that time, people didn't know what a lo looked like

The freeze is big sad on death

now that the timer is diminished i think we have all came to the same conclusion

I just respec'd too 5x lem runemaster + grief BA

but i have 6x lem PB and grief PB in stash

even made a voice of reeason PB to try out but it doesn't do enough damage.

wanted COB on a weapon without having to cham but i think runemaster might be the best choice

I mean I'm still running it a bit more reliably on the Merc atm.
I'm hitting 45s reliably at 2500~ GF~

Am working on a stupidly pointless merc setup with a 105IAS 5.56hits/second Eth Hone Sundan with 3 Lo Runes, to see if the 45CB/60Deadly Strike pushes the merc a bit further somehow. Big doubt relative to an Arioc's/GFace/CoH setup.
Alternatively can try a 4.55hits/second Hone Sundan with 80%CB/75%Deadly Strike with a Cham'd GFace. I'm mostly just curious what this ends up looking like, despite the garbage sheet DPS.

I've got a 394ed botd ba laying around, gonna try that but I think in the end grief pb >>

Just want to say I love this build !

Didn't think the gavel amp damage would be worth it until I tried it ... I'm gambling all day every day

Using a combination of all your build suggestions, its fun to play too ... unless there's a conviction aura

Telestomp + 1 or 2 Leaps if you wanna be mega-safe usually does it
