Now you!! :)


New highest rune on HC! This means I will be able to use an SOJ over a Raven Frost. But for that I would have to find an SOJ. PS, I have now found 2 Nightwing's, Death cleaver, eth Lacerator, 2 Jahs and a Windforce all before a Tal's armor... <_<



Still playing right now, likely going to be playing an unhealthy amount for a couple weeks now because I am so pumped to complete Tal's set and make the act 1 Rogue merc with WF!

I need help! Is there anyone who is well versed in act 1 rogue mercenaries? I've never used one before and am wondering if my gear choices could be improved.

Let's assume three things:
-That I'm definitely tied to the WF (only reason I am swapping mercenaries is so that I don't have to throw it away...)
-That any IAS jewels I will have will be plains
-That I will not use any socket quests on merc

Under those assumptions, what would be the best armor/helm combo? Obviously my first thought was Andy's/Forti ... But is there another combo that could beat it?? The Rogue merc doesn't get much/any ed% from skills so I'm thinking Forti seems like the only way to go for armor? Maybe a 2 socket/10% DS crafted helm with IAS jewels would beat Andy's?

Tell me what I should have used the Jahs for ^_^

Ice merc would have been cool but I'm using the WF I found. Not interested in dual Dream setup on this char. At least with Cham I gain +1 skill and some mana by being able to ditch Raven for SOJ :)

I knew I would get some backlash for cubing Jahs haha

Lol just never thought Id see someone do this on single player, no hate btw its all fun

Why do you want cbf on a sorc anyway when youre not using melee?

Btw to answer your other question about the merc, heres the ias bps for her with hydra bow base:

Quote
Ias - Frames - Attacks per/sec

0 - 16 - 1.38
5 - 15 - 1.47
11 - 14 - 1.56
22 - 13 - 1.66
34 - 12 - 1.78
50 - 11 - 1.92
78 - 10 - 2.08
120 - 9 - 2.27
215 - 8 - 2.5


So she'll start at the 11ias bp (20 from the WF alone) and then add in whatever other items to see what bp you wanna hit

I know it's all in fun :)

CBF is nice to have on most sorcs honestly, although not super important for most. For this one I really want it, I do a lot of FRWing during battle, and will do even more now that I won't have a tank merc. I would like to finish with around 60~ FRW and cbf.

/e and thanks for the info, I think I will try to craft a 2 socket/10% DS helm with 2x ias jewels just for the style points. Would put her at 11 fpa and it's something different. I've crafted a few of them before for my LLD characters, but I had access to hundreds of crafting supplies then since it was on bnet :/ I'll use Andy's until I can craft the right helmet!!
