Recently started using the cure merc for my nova sorc and its pretty sweet, the curse mgmt plus health regen is very smooth and convenient, I love it.


Wondering hypoethetically if this would be effective for a chatacter utilzing summons, such as a fishymancer or poison necro.

If you equipped the merc with insight and iron golem your infinity, I wonder if the iron golem would ever die while under the effect of the mercs healing, and the merc also likely survives due to simple body count with all the revives. who are also dying likely only on duration.



Obviously iron golem on infinity is not smoething many people want to do lol

But just wondering if maybe theres a cool setup to be had.

Might hero editor an infinity and experiment a bit but, thought id see if others have inventigated this already

K
Keep me posted

i just tried and its ass

nah it works, everything definitely is tankier, but the only benefit really is you dont occasioanlly need to spend another insight. And its obviously possible the iron golem dies so yeah. still cool though

Works but its still ass. Nec kits struggle killing bosses so summoners want infinity/coh/guills for 75% cb and probably similar for poison necros. Iron golem attacks too slow to make up for the loss.

Might feel nice in places with curses with the reduction but HPK from enigma and Dweb generally are enough to keep you topped off. Dolls are still a problem but a tick of health every few seconds won't change that.

I have used this setup for my poison necro that clears p8 96tz like it's a breeze and I don't think there is a better one

Changed my mind in this case. Just tested one with a character editor and I can see it being a nice QoL setup.


Probably still wouldn't run it on a summoner though. They tend to stay within CE scaling range and Enigma laek handles chip damage fine in low players.

yeah its actually friggin sweet

if you or your golem dies though its an infinity lol

why not make insight golem since they can be easily replaced with golem dies?

Put infinity on merc.

Are you also getting prayer to get double life regen?

prayer cure and insight meditation aura all stack healing because of synergies is how I understand it.

the way you describe is the norm, the way I am describing allows the way tankier merc and all your minions as well (and your necro) benefit from the life gain

yeah your not doing it right.

cure + prayer + infinity merc = double life regen
Insight on iron golem in case he dies.

Insight is cheap to remake, it only gives mana regen.
