You use magic arrow. Why wouldn’t you give the merc armor with sanc aura for more damage. T might is bad for ur build
@Driven2ChonkКүн бұрын
Merc is currently rocking one. Was only using T might because it's what dropped early season for me believe it or not.
@gregpoe7 күн бұрын
Pierce and crit do not do anything for magic arrow. So does amp and might from your merc. Consider using something with sanc aura. Prayer alot provide life on hit which is great with magic arrow
@Driven2Chonk7 күн бұрын
Oh for sure Sanc would be much more beneficial. Any crit or DS is just for whatever's left for the phys dmg you do after the magic conversion--it's very very very low and definitely not worth it in the grand scheme. The amp is more for my merc to not die on phys immunes.
@robertveres62327 күн бұрын
I started with magic arrow , reached 14-17k dmg and it was still so bad compared to phys bowazon, it lacks aoe,sustain,and single target. Also something is wrong with magic arrow's hit chance even with 20k ar and -33%enemy defense and maxed out inner sight it still only hits once out of4 attack vs bosses its so wierd. It is still good for season start due to how smooth it can farm arcane sanctuary which is the best hr farm place.

Looking to make the WW FoH proc barbarian, but will need a lot of money first. Do you know if there's something that can make runs through to hell on alt characters fast? Maybe a way to get teleports to speed through the campaign? Thinking of making a character to farm the runes for the barbarian I want to make.
@Driven2Chonk27 күн бұрын
I mean WW barb itself is great for farming. You can just put a point into leap and if you're worried about physical immunes and don't want to cast battle cry just wear a Cyclopean Roar helm (new PD2 Unique) that gives battle cry on hit and just spin to win on Chaos Sanc until you farm up enough to get the Runes you need for the Asylum runewords. Another easy farm class without having to worry about immunities I would say is Paladin. Getting a Griswold set gives huge MF and is an easy farmer with FoH or HoB.

Welcome! You still get the base 3 respecs but you can farm 4 respec materials from the Act bosses (Andarial, Duriel, Diablo, Meph, and Baal) cube it for a "token of absolution" which will respec your character. Or you trade for the tokens themselves on the trade site as well. On Non-ladder characters you can now just buy respec tokens from Anya, but on non-ladder only.

Throw barb and frenzy + double swing are great for leveling and campaign. Really just getting a lil over 100% MF is what ya go for by the end of campaign to farm non-map areas. Maps come with added MF so just having a 100 MF baseline is plenty. 250-350 MF is the sweet spot I feel.
