Hey Fellow gamers.
I post 2 pictures of 2 different merc that my throw barb could use. Looking at the stats, I guess I should stick with the might-pride merc due to the high dmg. But at that setup I dont think i reach the 2nd highest ias breakpoint.
When I use act1 merc using lvl14 frenzy aura I reach 2nd highest ias breakpoint. I simply cant figure out the math of whats the best setup. My goal is ofcourse to find myself a godly diadem 2 sock to reach highest breakpoint using faith merc.

Please help me out what to choose.

U need decrepify or amp dmg merc

So act2 with reaper’s toll

Or act5 with Dreadfang sword

I have added the pics now, I have amp on my throwing axe. The question is might-pride or act1 fana aura.

move the town portal to the far left of inventory for fastest clicking/least mouse movement
then the torch/anni to far right and wall it off with your other charms so you dont drop/sell them

Thanks for the advice

Anybody who can help with the real question?

Sure, you can also equip tp scrolls in your belt to free up two inventory slots

Back to the real issue, What Merc do I use? 😅

Help me out all my fellow d2rs

I used to have a similar build. I forgot the calculations, but finally I went for act1 with faith.

Depends on the weapon, if you have a high damaging eth ghost glaive, faith act 1 merc is better. The classical eth war shrike + eth lacerator combo is better off with a pride merc.
