Heya,

For now, I have some fun with my setup : Orb/Wall HC with a A2 merc.

My current merc setup is :

Vgaze (+15% IAS jewel)
Treachery Wyrmhide (+45% IAS)
Eth CA Obedience (40% CB)
Might aura

So my merc has +60% IAS and I was wondering if going from CA (10) to GT (-10) will make a a great upgrade. I looked at several IAS BP threads and I still can't choose

Eth CA Obedience : 230-1057
Eth GT Obedience : 282-803

For P1 games :
Is it better to get faster CB from GT or to keep ~200 max DMG from CA?

I'm a bit lost, can you guys tell me more about this setup.

I heard it’s man catcher then giant thresher than cryptic axe

Mancatcher is better since 2.4 right?

CA tops the damage charts for obedience with the bp youre at. Mancatcher loses you ~700dps but gives you ~1 extra attack per second with jab (which represents something like 80% of your merc's attacks). If you think crushing blow is a massively useful stat on your merc then go for the mancatcher. Personally I doubt the significance of the impact of merc cb but I've never tested it.

Great, thanks for the answer!

From what I read, better WSM activates aura faster. Maybe it’s relevant with infinity but no aura on obedience. CB is maybe irrelevant in P1 games because I already have static field

My understanding is that the aura activates from your merc being hit, if wsm affects that then it's news to me. If it does affect the aura activating then low WSM sounds kinda hype for that alone.

edit: on the other hand damage is damage and you already have the CA obedience

Maybe I didn’t read well, english is not my mother tongue 😬

Thanks for your insights!
