Yeah, that makes sense; I just use Infinity on my Merc to compensate for the loss of AR on Demon Limb swap, although Pride would work too. If it didn't randomly Freeze shit, I'd be using Pride.
I also have a very similar build that forsakes the off-hand Lem swords for Beast (Fana) which feels way faster. Just lose out on too much goldfind imo, even if it's phenomenal for pure MF versions.
If you're using Grief + Rune Master, my gut feeling is you should be using Faith on an A1 Merc, or something similar instead of an A2 Merc?
The attacks per second would remain the same as an offhand PB, if I remember correctly.
I havent considered switching my merc, but A1 merc may end up being better
I just use the same setup i havent switched anything from months ago - ebotd wp/fort/eth andy
Faith/coh/flickering flame + immolation a1 merc may be great as a1 once we have flickering or even a mist/coh/xx setup with ice arrow for 100% pierce and survivability; not that we really need it.
Generally what i do right now is my merc kills half and I can kill half, but i focus conviction aura and phys immune to prevent him dying, was also considering just switching to a more traditional gold merc with eth crown with this build
this would prob be ideal hella expensive will never obtain amulet/circ build -
https://d2.maxroll.gg/d2planner/nt01069mcharm setup would use 3/20/10's instead of 5/10s and I would dump a little extra pts into natural resistance to counter that, but would have so much more damage
still hits 2k Gold / 200% Mf with no merc dependacy; so this is where we could definitely use A1 merc to speed it up even more.
this build also only has to dump 15 pts into strg, everything else goes into vita. which means we would probably have close to 6k health (5600 or so id imagine)
