Hey guys how would this build work out with a Barbarian Merc?
I see people always using Act2 one. is it a must(or a really huge advantage for javalin/spear amazon too?). i wonder would it be too bad?

i dont really know much about Hell difficulty. so i would really appriciate things i cannot do with this build in end-game.

thanks

The main reason why people use act 2 merc are because they can help a lot with lightning immunes. Conviction can break most immunities, and when this is out of the question, a high damage or crushing blow spear/polearm in combination with might aura - or decript - can seriously help your physical jab damage. That way, you can use jab as a way to counter immunes.

I can't really see how an act 5 merc might help. I don't really think it's damage can be high enough to handle things alone. So if you really want to continue with this build, I believe it might be interesting to try and gather a good/better LI solution then normal act 2 users do.



P.S. it's certainly doable, yet using an act 2 merc seems easier.
