Not sure which one to go with on my summoner's merc... saw some videos that bramble was better - but they are a little old and someone told me bramble thorns interaction was nerfed..


So... thoughts?

I’d go with a CoH, jmode, and eschuta

Enigma. I tried Bramble on a summoner on LOD years ago (still have it) and found the Bramble was underwhelming.

sorry I didnt clarify - im asking about the a2 merc

Oh, you know what? I think I put my bramble on my summoner's merc. let me check.

I’d use an infinity and last wish iron golem self wield the insight.

Shacko with Cham rune does the trick

thorns aura isn't nerfed in pvm, its just incredibly dinky
in p8 worldstone keep 2, those dinky greater hell spawn have 120 damage / 31300 hp. If you have 1000% thorns, then each attack they land on a minion will reflect 1200 damage. Then get reduced by their 33% dr to 900 hp. And they only attack once every 2 seconds or so

My merc uses infinity + fort. Insight Iron Golem.
