1.10 pvp mercs?

[Poorlilbunny]

i remeber in early 1.09 maybe 1.08 sorcs with act1 mercs would own with teleport and now that theres engima any class can do that but i never see anyone with a act1 merc in duel games are they still effective?

[dthseeker]

because their so fragile its annoying, especially to auto-aim, wide spread spells like foh, orb, its a one hit ko.

However whenever I'm fooling around with my enchantress I have a act 1 merc 08 wf 40/15ias 08 gaze 40/15ias and coh (resist).

I usually like to pre-buff enchant my act 1 merc, get all the fast cast gear I can get on, and tele around at a super fast rate and have my bow merc kill people :)

some spells can ruin the fun, but otherwise its awesome.

yes dth is correct. the mercs are quite weak unless you have a druid or a singer barb then they are tough as hell to kill. this will get your merc at least double the life and some act2 mercs with might aura can hit like 7k damage, more or less. ive seen many people use mercs to duel for them, like dth said with enchant on and they are VEERY deadly. but dont count on him to get all your kills because to a experienced dueler he WILL die. (or her)

I use an act 1 merc on my fire sorc ( ed/ias wf, ed/ias 08 gaze, eth toothrow) but its a pain in the *** to keep alive, since it up and dies in 1 hit from anything..so i only use it vs overabsorbers.

My Necromancer has an act one fire rogue merc. Raised from level 3 to up level 96 =). She does over 4k physical damage. Yeah she can die easily, but she definately hurts the opposition...especially sorcs. I use her from time to time whenver my Necro is loaded. :lol:

I still killed you with sorc when you had heather's help. :lol:

Might as well use your barb.

[ReVolution]

yeah, I usually wind up doing that anyway.

Neeraj put the smack down on Heather.
Hell, he even owned EternalSpirit meheheh
FWIW, dmg dealt to mercs by players is not subject to the PVP dmg penalty, which is why they get their asses chewed off by pretty much anything coming from another player.

My friend's Fire Sorc uses an Act 1 Merc with 08 WF 40/15, 160/60 life, 120/45 life + her enchant and Battle Orders= one dangerous Merc.

I've seen her own Sorc vs. Sorc Games even if they absorb because of Her merc. Yea it's an easy KO but the damage and the fact it shoots every tele is just gravy.

Yepp, like Mooker said, only act1 mercs with an enchant sorc is viable in PK. I've dueled some really good ones.
