then dual plague may be better... because if you only rely on the psn nova dmgs your merc won't kill fast...

I was thinking that also but then would have to switch back to andy visage and I wanted to incorporate coa,

dual plague would give more -%psn rez to your merc and ofc don't use phase blades for plagues but eth mytical or eth cryptic swords so you both have high physical dmgs + your psn dmgs you wish to have (you could also use a treashery to precast venom on your merc if you wan't to up his psn dmgs when he hit)

100% amazing idea with the treachery. The kind of advice I'm looking for, and thinking about it, I'm casting life tap so he doesnt need life leech on sword, this is what I'm gonna try. Funds are low but I've got 50fg for u and this idea

well have fun !

It’s threads like this that ruined d2r.

Sadly blizzard listened to people like you. Because you are the loud majority that are completely clueless.

It’s also why d3 was so terrible.

People who think outside of a cookie cutter check list? Tried it, boring, I've done all that shyt now I'm looking for other things to build. U can run around trying to copy everyone but I try different shyt

I applaud your efforts in trying different things. I am trying out the act 1 rogue merc myself and honestly liking it more and more. The AOE complemented my single target barb zerker well.

I will echo what Dbrunski said in his video though... Act 1 rogue should only freezing arrow, and Act 3 merc should have sorc's mastery skill to increase damage. Then they'll be competitive to act 2 merc. And I think they should remove battle cry from act 5 mercs completely. Extremely annoyed when the cry overwrites the useful curses (decrepify and lower resist).
