Do you guys honestly see your health bar move? I've never used leech and never noticed not having leech, even without bo.

It’s not like it’s needed. Definitly not worth running on your gear since you have to drop dmg for it or your fcr breakpoint . Entropy + sling, opal or 2x opal is most dmg on rungear . And gloves are needed for fcr breakpoint.

But even if it is not needed lifetap could make you even more tanky adding insane leech without sacrificing anything on main gear. And since we don’t run any curse elsewhere it is a nice addition . Definitly more sustain than prayer.

The level 34 might is a nice dmg boost even with our low phys dmg.

The best thing may be the 100% cb. We don’t run any cb ourself so this adds something to the build it just doesn’t have.

Of course this is not needed at all. 2x last wish might make your merc more expensive than your own gear :D but for some more min maxing and high budget it might be good. Just seems to add the few „missing stats“ to the build.

Conc + might + fade proc + lifetap makes your merc deal nice damage with great sustain.

Overall it Just adds way more than an a2 merc. Of course only if you can sustain your mana.

In the end it’s overkill but might be worth to toy around with. Also I Just love Running something else than a2 merc on every build :zzz:

Mist sucks. Brand or demon machine only. Insight merc. P8 ez on cta Bo no enchant needed. 8k damage on character screen with only 2 skillers

Every time I try mist, even with no enchant, I go back. You don't need the survivability it gives, and the pierce is nice in a couple of specific situations. Beyond that, it's just not as good of a gameplay experience in my opinion.

Running the mist build rn.

It’s not like it’s needed. Definitly not worth running on your gear since you have to drop dmg for it or your fcr breakpoint . Entropy + sling/opals is most dmg on rungear . And gloves are needed for fcr breakpoint. So no room for leech on the „bis build“

But even if it is not needed lifetap could make you even more tanky adding insane leech without sacrificing anything on main gear. And since we don’t run any curse elsewhere it is a nice addition . Definitly more sustain than prayer.

The best thing may be the 100% cb. We don’t run any cb ourself so this adds something to the build it just doesn’t have. Frenzy merc with max cb Could speed up t5 herald/boss kills quite a bit especially in the rare case they are magic immun or have high magic res.

With 3 prayer and meditation your life and mana usually stay up, if you take a hit or something you don’t have to pot and it will regen you eventually too and even faster with enigma opal laek. Seems cool to try out but sounds like 6 Jah for a little life leech and loss of mediation

Maybe more fun to mow down higher heralds but I’m over here teleporting and plucking like a cracked out legolas and they’re just dying anyways

Definitly not worth it or needed at all. But lifetap gives more Regen than prayer and you get the level 34 might + more dmg/cb on merc himself. Cure is cool but it’s easy to get decent/max res with the mist build anyway.

I just thought if I prebuff anyway I might as well switch skillers for mf charms to reach 400+ mf. And after hitting my resist the best thing to put in are 7mf/17 mana ones. Gives a huge manapool and a nice mf boost. If this is enough to sustain mana it would be pretty strong with the a5 merc version i suggested :) so if you have a full inventory of perfect charms and 6 spare jahs it would be strong. If your budget isn‘t endless it’s definitely not worth the hustle
