Hello, looking for advice with my merc setup, I'll drop some info before asking anything:

Char: Blizz sorc
Merc: Act2 Might Aura
Gear: GFace (Cham) + eBug Forti + eReapers Toll (???)

Areas: Merc will be killing any CI Elites ofc but mainly Lord de Seis + wave 2 mages in Throne

The only concern about gear is what to socket my eReapers with, I know people love Treachery but I prefer Forti myself. Also CBF very useful without Treachery IMO.

I've looked up some information about ias BPs but can't decide really:

1. Should I be looking at standard attack BPs or just focus on Jab BPs?
2. IAS/ED jewel (8 ias Jab BP) vs Ber for 55%CB (0 ias Jab BP)

Thats what I have for now. Hopefully someone is using this setup aswell and can help me out.

Thanks in advance. :hail:

Guills Cham
Treachery
Reapers Ber

If you want to use Forti and Cham, dont worry about cb as it hits too slow for optimal cb

That makes sense, will socket IAS/ED jewel if I keep forti for extra BP.

Do you think the 55cb setup with treachery is superior?? Never liked treachery outside of fade proc.
Also, is GFace still best helmet if using forti?? I though about CoA here... but dropping 35cb and 15ds from GFace sounds bad.

Thanks wupa :hail:

Coa doesnt offer any benefit

Yes its superior as both ctc and cb synergizes with ias

Alright will drop the Forti and use the recommended setup:

GFace (Cham)
eBug Treachery
eReapers Toll (Ber)

Thanks again wupa and SanduLungu
