Trying to set up a act 1 merc spec'd for pvp on my caster

im not trying to use it all the time but for when those situations arise


im thinking eth fort-eth andys- faith?


what would be the best helm weapon combo for an act 1 merc for pvp scenarios

Thanks

honestly the only scenario where i'd ever use an act 1 merc is if you wanna BM high defense characters while playing like a barb or ghost sin (or maybe charger or telezealot)

the inner sight from the merc will reduce pretty much any char to 0 defense (even smiters and bvb barbs) as it is applied before % defense is applied

in that case i'd give her coh + andy cham + ice bow (the +all skills will increase her inner sight level and the ice freeze is annoying) or maybe a faith shadow bow for +2 all skills and some dmg



the only other char where i'd maybe use an act1 merc faith merc would be bone necro (since you got amp, although i'd probably take a hard hitting weapon act2 merc instead)

i'd probably just give her like forti + faith shadow bow and a 80-30+cham helm on a necro

im rocking a necro. this is good info Thanks stef!

one last thing. U think G face would be an okay temp i dont have 40 15s yet

it would work i guess but you will lose quite some ias ^^

you dont rly need to go high on budget imo (any 3 soc helm with 2x 30+ ed 15 ias jewel will work, its just a merc )

i think clean 15 ias jewels + cham in a 3soc helm would be better than guilli tho

in your opinion what would be the best helm to put the 30 ed 15 ias jewels in?

Hmm I’d go for 30 frw base circ, frw has proven useful quite a lot on mercenaries as they have shitty base frw

awesome thank you

Faith + Bramble + Some helm.
The idea is that melee will suicide on ur summons(golem/prison/wall/oak) when u amp them via bramble thorns aura.
And Faith will deal decent damage with amp.
And Inner sight will make merc hit more, and golem hit more and slow them.
I guess helm should be something to reach breakpoint. Like 3 soc helm with ias/add jewel.
Actually a gskull has 2 soc and KB which would be super annoying for enemies.
