nice build smile.gif

im using a leaper build with a5 merc:
eth last wish cb
eth forti
andyface

this really speeds up your run!
this merc doesnt die so quickly and he gets lifetap chance on hit,
from ur last wish. he also fades from last wish tongue.gif
and personally i have a beast in swith, i switch it with one of my
ali lemlems to speed merc up even more.
-> this way you can do hell travi runs in baalgames.
(more players = more loot, read it on some forums under mf issues)
for find item i switch back to dual ali lemlems and hork em.
average gold each run: 700-900K.
time: 2 mins.
keep in mind that u also get more rares in a full baalgame, since more
items drop.

edit:
spent remainin skillpoints in zerk to kill phys immunes with my death + beast

yea, but your build kinda sucks, considering your is a melee one, and this is a singer.
What's your overall GF%?

Okay, I've tried it a few more times now and it gets easier. But still I'd say half of the games I either get a mana burn mob, or one with some nasty aura that destroys me.
It takes me about 2 minutes to do hell and i get around 800k gold and half the time i either lose my merc, die myself or have to leave game because of bad spawns.
And on NM it takes like 30 seconds and i never lose anything and get around 250k.

Maybe doing Hell just takes more practice but for now I'm sticking with NM runs. Thoughts?


I would suggest stocking mana pots in your belt, or full rejuvs. If you run into a mana burner deal with it as best as possible. Either let your merc tank the stuff and rejuv him, or stun as much as you can with warcry and rejuv/mana yourself. If your gonna get mana burned blow your warcrys asap.. wait like 6 seconds, chug a pot and continue to spam Warcry. Sometimes your merc will die. Just make sure you hork in between warcries so that if you need to res your merc you don't lose the corpses. Its something you just have to deal with.

It can take time to learn the strat and get use to it. Use battle cry in conjunction with warcry. Also the higher your level is and the more +1 warcry/gold find gcs you got the easier it makes things over all.

The better your gear is the easier it is.. ie perfect eth bonehew,near perf eth 3os tombreaver, highest def possible eth armor for merc, eth crown of thieves, 20/20 torch, 20/20 anni, 5 all res 10% gold find or 10% gold find/11res charms.. etc etc.

Keep practicing eventually you will be able to run it without any problems.

If anyone needs help or has question feel free to PM me. I don't check this as often as I should.

my build is NOT a melee build, i don't melee, i only carry eg items. my merc does the job here.

my job: leap around and bo.
merc kills ALL.

My GF is 2300 now. with also 400 MF. (keep in mind that with this build you will be able to
do runs in full baalgames, wich increase loot alot by quantity)

further stats:

when Bo:
my hp: 4k
merc hp: 3.7k
merc damage: 4k-7k
when i switch to beast: 4.2k-7.8k

since i dont have to be dependant on skills i maxed bo, and spent some points
in natural resistance, shout etc.. and because of that i never die. i got good resist
without any good res gear, and my armor class is decent even with a wealth equipped.
furthermore: the melee weapons in switch i only carry around vs physical immunes. i
rarely use them. sometimes i do switch to beast to twink up my merc, then before he kills
the mob i switch back..

u can say this build sucks, but in about 10 minutes i got maxgold plus around 3 rarefound items.
in the end ur probably going to gamble for trarefounds, so finding them is a big plus. thats why
i chose to grind in full baalgames with this setup that also carries enough MF.
