What weapon do you use on merc ?
If its Insight then BK over SoJ.
Same for Trangs over Magefist.
Otherwise whats your weapon of choice/merc of choice and setup ?

Also with this setup you achieve 130 FCR so you dont need more than 15 FCR on ammy if you get a 20 Gheeds. Can play with Ammy and Gheeds FCR roll.

And if we go on the -magic res might aswell get the -magic res sunder rather than the magic dmg one for up to -40.

I wouldnt enjoy playing Sunder elsewhere than areas that dont have magic immunes tho. Unless they are magic immune you can just crush em and the -magic res from the setup seems enough for magic resistant enemies.
Btw what do you socket your HoZ with in an ideal scenario and what would be your ideal 2/20 ammy there ?

Teleporting without shako and spirit feels awkward. Not enough mana!

Yeah the new magic items really make a hoz setup much more viable now.

You know that Horazons boots are mirrored boots and already have a stre req of 163? That means with the 20 stre hoz adds, you need 143 stre prior to having hoz on. An eth upped hoz has a stre req of 132 and would not require any additional stre points to be equipped. With the stre from enigma, the MP is best option. That doesn't mean the high def from eth upped hoz won't be substantial with maxed holy shield

Nah you need the mana from soj

No spirit and no shako = garbage mana
