i use warcry, may be i should try leap


No, he should use war cry. It is the professional's choice. Leap is for the newbies needing everything to be super safe, yet it is slower.

I have grief + lemmed alibaba + 2x lemmed alibabas to hork
Rest is basic stuff: lemmed ik helm. Eni (i have wealth but im not patient, wanna be active), amu with 80gf and res (still looking for amu charges with gf), 2x dwarf, chancies, goldwrap 80, 3res 80eg boots, full eg charms

Merc: andy with 15 ias 30ed jewel, eth ap coh, eth arioc perf 15ias 30ed :p to not overpay

I ended up with just slamming super uniques and some regulars with berserk on my own than waiting for merc, horking while he is hitting 3 last members rventually helping him at the end

Rinse and repeat. Im gambling with 10m gold 3-4 times an hour :p

Merc is poking them with dildo frequency speed xD but i think it would be more effective with just ebotd in fast base. Didn't want forti to shatter corpses

Yep for active build you can use Zerk + Merc on Eni. Same. Usually need to kill 2-3 only and start horking.

I have made a weird version of this and this is might be more effective than the original in terms of time to clear. Items are a bit rare not bis though.

https://maxroll.gg/d2/d2planner/gm3qu0km

I am still looking to get the charms.

Both the merc and I have around 70k dps and it mows through Trav with 1.5kgf 190mf. D2planner is wrong with the WW breakpoints so my dam is x 1.5 shown in the planner.

Have a spare eth Runemaster I can sell if anyone wanna try as well :evil:

Always measure DPS vs. Stone Skin

But yes, WW and Zerkers are amazing for these runs.

Sure, didn't know that. It went down to around 60k each so 120kish DPS combined. Only downside I can see is the lower hork rate 69% which can increase to 70 if I had +2 Barb skill on the helm. I can hork at 63fcr BP as well

On your setup I see a bigger drop than that; you could run pure Zerk and I think you'd do great.

The 69% is a massive dropoff for what it's worth, given that Find Item yields P8 drops. I wouldn't worry too much about it though; at the end of the day, Zerk/WW is more comfortable for the vast majority of people.

If you care at all about HRs though, any % drop is substantive in terms of runs-per-rune.

Checked it again it is 60k each mate. (61139 for Emilio, 39250*1.5=58875 for my toon 120kish tot) The planner is wrong for WW breakpoints though so x1.5 WW dps should be the correct dps. (4frame vs 6frame)

I don't think Zerk would work since I would be using the Gavel for Emilio only and WW's dps is about x8 to x9 of Zerks it with the Amp. I didn't know that the Find Item yielded P8 drops. That is huge.
