Nope.. elemental aura best. Unless you are only concerned with your damage number on screen going higher. You don't need the AR, attack speed, or damage that Fanat provides


But that's just like...your opinion.

A 'Cursed' monster will have a 50% chance to cast amp if he lands a strike.

A Holy aura, fire/lite/cold, will automatically hit, casting amp 100% of the time.

Reasoning for fanat being better? The one thing I can see is that it will increase your Merc attack speed and he'll survive better. I will say that any good cursed demon basically does apply amp instantly so it's not a huge deal. But holy freeze also slowing while applying instant amp is GG

More damage. Lightning enchanted spread the amp too. Its not as consistent as the pulse of an elemental aura, but it does increase the radius.

Tbh either ele or fana is fine. Just preference.

I compared 14 echoing strike build options:

Arioc, BOTD, Fortitude, Insight
Phoenix, Ars'Dul Mephistos
75%, 125% FCR

And found best one

Nah, it’s a fact. Fanat is a noob-trap.
Only for the demon, the player will only get part of that 127% e/d & you don’t need a little more damage on a build that 1-hits everything.
