You are right about trav for mf, any recommendation of spots “safer” for my merc without gg gear? I likely trav for the better than avg chance of honking HR as a bonus. But perhaps higher lvl area might be better for the chance of getting gg uniques like griffon i guess.

I cant believe i vendor/threw away so many bis gf barb equip in the past…


I mean you don't even need GG gear. You have 21k FG and can buy an Eth Arioc's for like 250fg? Glad's bane socketed maybe 70 total. And you have Tal's already if you don't wanna go for Andy's with a decent socketable.

eBOTD War Pike is 1.5-2k, alternatively. Fort and CoH are the bigger price jumps.

If you're going full MF Barb just make a pitzerker.

I just went to double check my merc and I realise he is blessed aim ( i got no idea why ), will change to might aura later and that shld improve his dps quite a bit.

Without gavel, any tips how to deal with physical immune? Is it advisable to just skip them and next game?

I do have a andy, socketed with Ral, ill prolly bin an eth arioc later

As stupid as it might sound, my plan was to build a wc barb using whatever I have on my mules and self fund which stuff he found instead of riding on my light sorc mfing ( kind of a half ass SSF )

I did found a vex yesterday on trav, so ill have 600fg to spend on him :D

if you are in hell there is a visual glitch that makes the merc look like blessed aim, but maybe he's might anyway
if you dont use gavel i don't know why you would farm Hell Trav over nightmare, for gold only. Just replace echoing weapons on swap with a 5fg Gavel, socket it with a Hel and call it a day.

with phys immune you can also use Spellsteel on swap, which gives you a Decrepify + 20 charges. Don't recommend, but it's an option.

Ah yes, I have experienced the bug before. But i actually saw the blessed aim via the merc page, I'm not sure if the bug will display tat part inaccurately or not. My merc damage range is shown as xxx - 17xx ( which i believe to be really low because my sorc infinity merc is dealing 3k++ )

Yea i have heard doing nm trav is better for gold find. Im actually doing hell trav for the chance of a better hr and loots, i might need to respec for gavel as my str is insufficient

yes, blessed aim shows on the merc page if you're in hell because Hell A2 Merc has BA normally, not Might. It's just a bug. That's the glitch

Yeah that's normal; just don't forge to put a Hel Rune in it. Lowers it to 136 Reqs. Also of note: if you have 136, you can also use Demon Limb to speed up your Merc kill speed even further.

Ah yes you are right its might.

Just gotten my eth gbane… feeling good so far. Everyone were saying treachery is the best armor.. guess its not true now.

Now trying to buy some ik helm and gambled a teleport amulet ( i did gambled 1 n vendor it by accident )

But if i were to replace maras my resist will reduce even more since ill be swapping out wizard spike.

I think i have used every res charm i can find, and i dont have a anni

Do you have a lot of points in Natural Resistance?
I get 72% just from that atm



also consider using a good belt & boots for resists.
they're basically the best spot to get those stats rounded up.

you can get insanely good boots for like 500~, same with a belt.

bin is 700 for instance

Yea i do have natural resist just not maxed yet, prolly around lvl 16 or something with gear. Might need to repump my skills as i seem to have messed up on that part.

So i should replace goldwrap with resist belt?

Cant seem to find any ebotd war pike for sales, i think your guide has caused all the items required to be sold out :P

you should 100% replace goldwrap with a resist belt if you're struggling to max them imo

and yeah you can just make your own. buy an eth war pike 0socks or 6os, and just make it haha
