What should i put in my Merc's two socket Bonehew?

[txttran]

I was thinking about putting in two Amn's since they're easy to find and give a total of 14% leech which is nice. (My merc currently has no leeching.)

I need something that is relatively easy to acquire since I am pretty poor. :(

If your merc has no leech, AmnAmn it pronto!

[Havoc One]

Definitely AMN AMN if he has no other leech. With dual AMN, the only thing that will kill him is Iron Maiden.

Go Shael-Amn. The Shael will up you to the next IAS breakpoint meaning you attack quicker, therefore meaning you will leach quicker. This means you get ample leach, plus extra killin' speed. What's not to like :thumbsup:

Use an IAS jewel rather than a shael to get the next IAS breakpoint for your merc especially if you have one that can add a useful second mod. And one Amn for life leech. Hopefully, you'll soon find a helm that has life leech to top up what you get from the Amn. So it is probably better to plan ahead rather than simply Amn + Amn and have to remove later using the Hel recipe.

get a gaze

what are the breakpoints of the act2 mercs?

[dabe]

Guillames face, set winged helm is much better than gaze for merc IMO... you can compare the numbers , stats , etc... but if you try it i can almost guaruntee you wont go back to gaze. plenty of crit strikes and crushing blow really helps you start your skelly army quickly. You will see the difference as soon as you step foot in the cold plains hell, with only your merc and gumby.

Btw, whats the public opinion on bonehew vs +4ariocs for skelly merc? I normally go with the unq thresher but for my skellymancer the decripy ruins my curses so im wondering whats best for him in non-runeword weapons.(cant afford runewords atm).

Also I am sure this is posted on a sticky somewhere about merc weapons but.. does + All Skills properties on items increase a might mercs aura level, ie. more might dmg?
Prolly a noob question.. sry, i really dont know.

Amn Tir it for the "Strength" runeword! :clap:

Seriously, Ber/Amn with an IAS jewel in the gface would be sweet but I doubt anyone would want to cough up the ber for it ;)
