Why do so many peeps recommend a might/pride merc for a bowazon??

I use a holy freeze/infinity merc that seems to work well, but I'm always looking for better options.

If I'm missing something clue me in. I'd appreciate it.

Because a Might/Pride merc makes you deal much more damage. Much more.

Holy Freeze and Infinity help with crowd control, and lets you hit em more often, but lack of other elemental damage is why I don't use infinity.

I can see the might part, but what is the attraction to pride?? I admit I've never used pride so I'm a lil ignorant on the subject. i saw the stats however and can't see any that look helpful. I'm fully willing to give it a go, I'd just like to see the reason.............

I have tried both these combinations. I slice thru stuff so much better with might/pride. There is absolutely no enhanced damage from the other 2 auras.

pride has concentration aura. personally i like reaper's toll myself.

That is true. I use a fort on my merc anyway, so the extra ed from the pride would be pretty killer. I don't think concentration would be that helpful, cause they can't break my attack if they can't hit me. I was mainly concerned with the low base dmg that goes with pride. The infinty base dmg is much much higher.

guess I can try it out and see which I like best. Thanks for the input.

the point is that with pride/might/fort/faith, monster will really be hit by you merc anyway. You should kill most monsters in one or two hits that low base damage doesn't matter that much. Note also that in low damage can't kill you with IM.

If you don't kill that fast, perhaps you should outfit you amazon first?
P.S. we're talking about a physical bowazon, I hope you are talking about one too.

Pretty noticeable difference, I think.

[crawlingdeadman]

it usually takes might a while to activate after he's new and after you res him. usually it happens after he's been in a couple fights, so if you have trouble with him run around in act one letting him do all the killing.

i've noticed that if ur merc dies while has a weapon with an aura, the aura won't switch back on unless u exit and return or pick up the weapon then put it back in

uuuhh...Those look the same to me..........

lvl 20 concentration on pride = +345% ed so it's pretty much wearing another Forti.

Well assuming you get the lvl 20 roll, lvl 16 would give 285 so slightly less then a forti, but still ... :azn:
