Well with defiance merc wearing fort/andy/infinity he's at 4366 life with 5bo from CTA (my sorc has +17 skills). With the same merc wearing treachery /andy/infinity he gets to 3947 life.
Mine got around 3100 life after BO.. That probably makes the difference.
Maybe i should check out a treachery/gullaman's face merc instead, and put a 15 IAS jewel in gullaman's face.
I'm going to check a Gladiators bane w/ sol rune, it seems to be a good tanking armor because of 30% FHR, CBF, DR and MDR.
There is also kiras/guardian angel as a possibility. 30% FHR, CBF, +90 res all, and 2xOS.
Edit: Ok, myth busted. G's Bane doesn't work with travincial. I got his fire res maxed and he was close to death right after i entered the council.

U either need 90 fire res or the sorc shield from fortitude to survive travincial as a newb. Newb meaning not having to pot or use tactical teleports w/e
Or u could use that fire sorb helmet and lol even socket it with mal. Ull merc willeat hydra
Ya. He gets butchered in travincial.
Do you teleport much? He comes with you is why I'm asking.
Yup. Generally, when he is in too much danger, I teleport a bit just to pull him away from danger.
He's got around 3000 life after BO, his got Andy's/Gaze, eFort AP and infinity CA, although the infinity is not etheral.
What makes me wonder is the fact that sometimes he survives easily, sometimes he dies easily, even when there is no convication from the council.
There's a lot of dangerous stuff in Travincal, particularly if you keep the players setting on p7-p8. And that's not even counting conviction.
Most deadly are fanaticism/might/blessed aim/extra strong stacked and holy freeze slowing down his lifeleech. Beast zerker axe ( fanaticism ) counters holy freeze beautifully, and he always MUST have CBF.
Then again your a bnet pubby player who probably plays solo games with high rune items like grief/botd/death/fortitude/infinity so I suppose you're just used to steamrolling p1 Hell mobs without even knowing what monster modifiers are. Play an untwinked pheonix striker in hell with a hawkmail and one 'malice' claw and one Anya dropped claw, and you'll truly understand the meaning of cursed-might-extra strong or conviction-lightning enchanted-cold enchanted.
I tried G's bane with Ral and he got ****ed, I paired it with Gaze.
G's bane with gaze gives a whole lot of DR,MDR,DR% and LL plus CBF. So it should make him an excellent tank. But boy, did he die fast.
I'll try with kiras/guardian angel now bro to see if it solves this ****.Originally Posted by zaphodbrx
