Hey guys - thoughts on a lawbringer + what second sword for an a5 merc with GA + Kiras? I know lawbringer has a little cold dmg but not much, just curious if the sanc aura will help me clear faster...is it too much cold dmg compared to whats on a reapers?

I’d use an A2 Might Merc. Since you already have GA and Kiras, I’d go with Ebotd War Pike on expensive side or 2x Amn Bonehew on cheaper side. Amn Needle will work as well.

Ice damage shatters corpses, yes, hence you don't use it. And sanctuary aura on a merc does nothing for you but knockback undead, and council are demons not undead
Dreadfang has 33% chance to amp damage, which is by far the most reliable merc buff for the short duration of a trav kill since might won't turn on and reapers has cold damage and is weaker than dreadfang

its not too hard a decision here, they added an obviously vastly better weapon than the other options

does amp dmg work with zerk? i thought it did not

amp damage works with whirlwind, the skill you should be using

fair!

dreadfang if act 5 merc, 33%amp

but why not go singer baba, you stun while merc clears
