Hello!
I'm going to build a budget foh zeal/smiter hybrid with 20 holy bolt/20 foh/20 fana/~10 holy shield/1 smite/~5 redemption/~10 zeal. Switch to redemption for quick regen and run fana for zeal/merc dmg for animal types.
Will use general pvm purposes, want to be able to farm lots of areas in the game - zeal for animal types, smite only to apply CB on bosses, foh on rest.
Budget gear; hoz, shako, heavens light, gores, viper etc.
And I'm thinking of running an act 5 frenzy merc and want to equip him with fairly budget gear.
Ideas to choose from:
Sazabi + oath:
Thinking this might be the best?
Sazabi + non eth headstriker:
Prolly worse?
Sazabi + lawbringer:
Not as good as it seems since AR issue will cause the merc not proccing the decrep too often + overriden by taunt. Also low dmg which means fana wont be utilized that well..
Random gear options;
Head: Tal mask/vamp gaze/guilly etc
Armor: Treachery/shaftstop/duriel etc
weapons: oaths/lawbringer/non eth headstriker/ something else budget?
Better or worse than sazabi + oath?
Or is this idea simple worse than just running act 2 might merc with inisight and just skip the points in redemption aura.
Not planning on running grief/enigma or other more expensive items. Might run grief if I'm lucky enough to find a Lo but I'm not counting on it.
Any feedback? What merc would you choose and what gear?
