Thx for the guide ! great work. I wish a5 was viable

I really like inner sight charges on my amulett and tele charges circlet and have pride supporting its cheap on weopen swap while merc crushes everthing switching to 2 x lem sword for hork. Easy gameplay with not much costs kira+ eboted pike + gurdian angel is just watching him afk killing everything.

currently on ladder i have a a5 merc with all the gear from various youtube videos and he sucks hard and dies.

Im using 2x grief with a5 merc, 2x crystal with 6 lem, 2nd weapon beast axe and demon limb. It's not the fastest, but I prefer it to the variant with ebotd fortitude and andy. I would like to try headstriker tho

Hey!

I know the answer is prob here in one of the 187 pages but I have a question.....

For a BOTD/COH A2 merc, why jewelers of lamprey is needed? Wouldn't jewelers of anything (alacrity, etc) be sufficient? The 8% LL from COH + 15 BOTD is not enough?

Sure. LL just gets scaled back on Hell. You can try others np

Hey y'all - Made this build and having alot of fun with it.

I was thinking about trying to setup a variant for target farming outside of trav (for MF mostly). Imagining a barb swap (remove gavel, replace with either insight or brand). I don't wanna respec - but open to swapping emilio for thor/frenzy merc.

Has anyone tried either the native gavel setup in other areas (tz pindle, eldrich, shenk, or maybe pit/andy runs?) and if so, any recommendations?

was thinking frenzy merc could be something like
Grief + (LW, Plague (maybe not cuz freeze - was mainly thinking if I was running insight swap for mana/tele), Eth headstriker)
COH
Arreats (or 3os lamprey/30frw)

and I could rock beast + 6os PB and just support/leap/wc

I know that kind of defeats the purpose of the build (collecting gold) and a simple solution is to have 1pt zerk and target myself. Nevertheless, I find the concept of a support barb enjoyable to theory craft, and wanted to know if anyone has found other applications of this great build without respec

Max roll guide is broken. Does the op topic pretty much cover it all?

Yes. I always liked war cry best. Much better when you're a pro and got the routine down. When you're new to it, leap can be better. But takes longer and is more chaotic. War cry is the professional's tool.

What is max roll guide? This guide is my idea originally.
