merc for frenzy barb?

[VeGaZ]

Hello, i just started a frenzy barb and im wondering if a act 2 might is better than a holy freeze merc, also can a act 1 rogue survive a uber run?
oh and what happens if i duel wield 2 of the same weapon would i double the effects from them?

depends, do you play softcore or hardcore? Are you an offensive or a defensive person? You'll do well with both, except might in hardcore.

When you dual wield weapons only the mods on the weapon you swing are in effect

If you have 1 sword with 1-80 lighnting damage and +20 to life, and the other weapon has 50% crushing blow, 8% life leech and +2 to warcries:

The +20 life and +2 warcries will always be in effect, but the lightning damage will only be there when you swing the first weapon, and the crushing blow and life leech will only be in effect when swinging the second weapon

Stuff that doesn't directly affect attack (+skills, +life, resist, faster cast rate etc.) will always be there. Things that affect the attack (enhanced damage, crushing blow, open wounds etc) will only come from the wepaon if that weapon is swung

might merc

almost all builds in 1.10+ got huge damage boosts while the barb got nothing, so they need whatever physical damage they can get

Although the increased damage may not always be so much. If you've got 1000% off-weapon ed form frenzy, strength (easily attainable) etc, the might from a lvl 98 merc will increase your damage by about 20%

When your merc is affected by battleorders and shout he becomes pretty survivable anyway so keeping a might merc alive is not that difficult with a few decent gear pieces for him.

Unlike caster classes you being a melee class also means he wont catch the full attention from the mobs and therefore also has less of a strain on him.
