went this build but super tanky, SS + COA, max block
still absolutely smash and zero chance of dying

how much does this buld do with a crap weapon from nightmare
and how durable is a nm hephasto on hell?

i just logged off for now to take a break.
But i farmed Hephasto because he is ALWAYS aura enchanted. Then u just pray you get freeze aura on him and a curse affix too (prolly take 1-2 hour depending on RNG). Can also grind out travs. Theres always 1 guy that is curse affix, so pray he spawns with an aura. But hephasto was the fastest for me cause doin travs , those guys get boomer ranged too easily lol. At least with Hephasto i can setup and tick him down to low health with a crappy Scythe insight merc that does low dmg so he isnt instant killed.

Another one to check is Dac Farren. He has a pretty high aura enchanted rate too, but he's a shitty little gremlin. I had a holy shock amp dac farren before i found the freeze amp hephasto lol. Shock aura was same like freeze with the big radius for amp.

But the amp fanta guy i have right now does proc amp quite often so i may just leave it lol. Its a shitty random venom lord i found while spammin the hephasto runs

you need 86fcr

65%fcr with higher damage seems totally overkill and not needed, speed > damage

ebotd tmaul
obedience
seem like the 2 top picks

but ultimately depends on bindings. I think Pride on merc is ideal but might depend on rest of gear

ideally you want 100% deadly strike

leech also works with echoing, obviously, so fcr rings with leech are good (if u dont use ebotd)
