This was an absolute bugger! High resistance/immunity to all I can hit him with. Multiple merc revives and about 10 minutes of kiting!


Finally!


Outside Halls of the Dead and hellooooo! What is this

Had to switch to Nat helm in order to use it... man, it looks poggers! Deadly Strike works on Blade Fury right?


And not a few paces from where Razor's Edge dropped, a unique amulet. If it'st Atma's Scarab I'm gonna be a happy assa


Lmao! What? I mean, super cool item, but really not useful for us!


That's all progress so far. Plan moving forward is to kill Trav, then farm LK for Call to Arms, and I suppose Enigma. I'd love a Chaos claw and Phoenix shield too but doubt I'll have the patience for all that!

Such nice progress m8

Don't you have some weird bugs when you bf on left click ? here it locks me still spinning blades when target is destroyed, idk why

also few things, 1 pt venom is more then enough. but you also need 1 pt into death sentry, it is still very good to clean packs on p8!

Now you mention, it does some weird animation lock thing which has led to some hairy moments haha. Is right click better?

I finally looked up some guides and some are using Death Sentry yeah. But one wasn't even maxing BF syngergies Could you show me your skill tree? I've started speccing Shadow Master again because Merc is very flimsy!

Yeah I use sentinel on left and bladefury on right click since A1 norm :D

I have so far :

1 to CoS, MB, BoS (will use Fade in Hell) DS, Fade and Venom
19 Sentinel, 20 BF, 20 BS which I dont use anymore cause it damages my eth rare suwwayah (bad one from imbue, basically just amp + very bad adds)

I'll try that control setup, thanks!

Oh cool, so just one point in DS? It would speed up mobs tbh.

Good luck on your run

I'm up to Lower Kurast with this one, got a rack dropping Greater Talons so fingers crossed for Bartucs

Good luck on LK

I'm trying to get an upgrade weapon from NM Meph, already have razor belt and Tgod dropped from him, and also made Wisdom helmet.
Will need another 3os helm for Bulwark on merc and I'll start Hell

Nice!

Wait does pierce work on BF?! I forgot to try it!

Nope, just tried it on cows. Rip my Pul

Time for some progress!

Maggot Lair was the longest slog so far, so much phys + poison resistance! Merc was constantly downed, used all my gold ressing him


And WTF, don't think I've ever seen so many egg layers in here! It took a longgg time to clear
