The only time you'll care about IAS breakpoints above all is when you're trying to Crushing Blow bosses is what I've found. And even then if your Merc dies all the time (Treachery pre-Fade dies a lot), you're still shit out of luck.


yea i tried treachery before too its very squishy most time with flickering flame mb not that much but clear speed is more important at all.

my next goal is to get eth ariocs and coh instead of eth botd wp and forti and try out which is faster to clear... :D

its like an addiction pushing the merc "emilio" :lol:

I asked Exokek about Treachery a while back and adding in my own experience I can say it is only worth it if you plan to do eldritch and/or shenk before travi so merc has fade procced when facing the council.

If not the higher ias BP does not justif the increased squishyness. Forti is way more dmg aswell. Just my 2cent

m2 using botd/forti atm but just wanted to try that eth ariocs to see whats better :bouncy:

problem is when u play flickering flame with botd ias could be 2 slow

so my idea is to rather go ariocs to fix that problem this weapon should attack way faster...

If you're on Flickering Flame you can do
CoH (8LL) + Arioc's
Or even eBOTD Giant Thresher + Fort

Deadly Strike is just big burst, means instead of sustained DPS over long periods you have big DPS streaks that means enemies self-heal less.

Yeah Amp Dmg + Demon Limb is still great. I wish Grim Ward changes in 2.4 were better, so we could avoid needing Gavel, then we can main swap Limb + HotO or something.
