no its not , its a trap

use this instead

shako ( protector stone -10 , it will be bugged for the ed but -10 is still good )
seraph/mara
eth insight archon staff ( 250ed+ 6cs )
spirit mon / ars mephisto 30 fcr (um / 40ed 9 str jool )
arach
1x dual high str ring + res ( use blood ring for LL with 25 str best )
1x sling ( good for tp qol life when u moving between tz zone)
1 x trang glove
inventory ( usual skiller,sc etc + -10 renewed bone break )
war trav / gore / tri res boots

max blood oath , consume goatman if u want or 2 defilers
catch a cursed + aura demon

merc might
pride 20conc eth + coh + shako eth ( u can socket anything ) - gives your merc highest might aura and survivability

Hm noted, this should breeze through p8 t5 heralds?
How much damage does it push out about?

50% extra damage to undead , tight min-max damage , everything still just die even your rng is bad with damage min max

not sure if u notice , from the picture u can see that even u hit the absolute lowest damage rng , u still hit over 21k damage per es weapon image

Use Obsession in Archon Staff over Insight. 65 FCR +4 Skills Life/Res... It's a no brainer. Going for high dmg weapons is a trap, +skills is where you get most of your damage. (I go 85k with ondals or obsession... You don't need MORE DMG)

125 fcr
