Never built a char that uses dreams or dragons, never figured those low lvl auras were much good.

But I've seen a few guys running around with them on their merc/person, curious if its worth making an a3 merc

Looking thru the merc guide, didnt find the Info I was after so I'm making this thread

Curious if a3 merc,
using dragon armor / shield for fire aura
Phoenix wep for -enemy fire res
Dream helmet for light aura

Is that mec any good?
Curious what kind of damage those auras will do
Will they drop monsters as soon as you enter a room in say normal tombs? Or normal baals? Or NM chaos?

curious when they stop 1 hitting monsters
Thinking of using it on a rushing sorc


Thanks guys!

2dragon + hoj + 15-15helm = 3*93*1.15=320dmg, with 35pene
2dream + 20-20armor + 30-30sword = 1 to 2*278*1.5=834dmg, with 50pene

No idea what I'm reading there
But what I gather 2 dreams and facet gear does more than double damage of other setup, thanks!

What's pene mean?

"more than double damage"

1 to 800 isn't the double of 400 to 400
it's the same average, and even a bit less efficient due to higher spread

dreams are about 50% more pulse dmg than fire aura items

Dreams only works well for sorc and pala because they are only characters to synergize dmg

So
Does a sorcs light mastery help with dreams holy shock?

Light mastery says it increases lightning spell damage, but holy shock is an aura.

Like if the sorc her self is wearing the dreams, will light mastery help in that scenario?

Tried looking around but couldn't find the info I was after. I'm newb
Thanks

^wupa thank you!
