you're right but people do like more details about each choice, and of course there's a lot of other good choices but that was what I've wanted this merc to be.Originally Posted by gvandale
again, take it as help. in my poison / summon guide i gave suggestions for merc gear because I didn't want to say:
I have a defiance / holyfreeze merc wearing:
UM/CHAM COA
'STONE' ETH SUPERIOR ARCHON
'DOOM' ETH POLE
That's assanine (sp)
g
you've convinced me M8 :buddies:
I'll add a more depth section to the merc gear alternatives soonly
PS: I like stone on merc very much, I've made one on eth superior sacred armor it has 3486 defence :drool: my sorc defiance merc has with it 20 k defence and with barb cry he has ~40 k defence
Jesus gvandale, make your own guide and leave this poor guy alone. You've been on his jock ever since this guide came out. I don't see your guide anywhere, and until I do, I would much rather hear what this guide's author has to say. Jeez, you flame more than a *** pride parade.
err actually he does have a guide
in fact, its a very very similar guide (same builds) that he posted before this guide was. in the sticky up top the two guides are stickied together. see page 1 for arguements. i'm actually using his guide (maybe?) to build my first ladder char (sighh it sucks starting over with no items to twink with...) although there are more replies to this post (im not sure why) personally i felt g's to be better written. personal preference. prolly frustration writing guide and then later having a very similar one pop up. (then again this build is so genius who wouldn't eventually think it up :winner: )
Just so you know thorns damage doesn't stack like you seem to assume when you descibe the effects of Bramble. It is considered 2 different attacks one from thorns and one from spirt of the barbs. At least this is what is said about stacking IM and an iron golemn in the spell description of IM on Arraet Summit, if you add IM to the mix 3 different attacks. Add a IG it'd be four different return damage attacks.
There is really no difference either way in tallyiing the damage results though, so perhaps I'm just splitting hairs here.
Skellies dmg usama?
I didn't read all 9 pages, so excuse if this has been brought up:
You explicitely advise to Um the hat and to put a poison facet in Trang's wing. I don't see why you would do that when you could just as well put the facet in the hat and use the Um or even a PDiamond in the shield. This would give you better resists and might even save you an Um.
I'm relatively noob, but I was thinking, wouldn't an Offensive mirc from A2 be best with Infinity, giving him the Conviction aura? It might help the skellies kick ***, and also give the first corpse when facing strong PIs?
How do you face Lister and its gangs? My skellies died in secs so I have to use hit and run because they can't be cursed with Attract, etc.
