Few tips: Decrepify against bosses is king because it reduces the amount of nasty spellcasts significantly. Dim Vision disables everything except basic attacks on affected monsters. No Lighting from Souls, no arrows from archers, no resurrecting from resurrecting fucks. Attract is literally the best curse you can imagine for crowd-control. You curse one mob, which gets a higher threat level than you or your mercenary. A monster that is in direct contact with you or the merc will literally turn around to hit the cursed mob, if it's right next to it. It can't be overwritten which is awesome as it allows you to curse the rest with whatever you want. Instead of all the enemies bearing down on you they fight among themselves, making it much easier to deal with groups. There will be one downside for you. It does actually attract more enemies to the fight that would be out of range normally. It works great if you intend to blow everything up with corpse explosion. Not quite sure how it might work out for you.
I was thinking the exact same thing, I'd just add Terror to the list of useful tools in places like the maggot lair and arcane sanctuary. Though Attract is questionable, if a monster gets killed because of that curse, it becomes a slippery slope.
Merc was always one of the coolest things to me in Diablo 2 - that and how the necro skele minions look progressively more 'n' more badass with levels. Good luck in Nightmare... looks like you'll need it.
Dude, you're like, soooo underrated it's crazy. This is like one of the very few youtube channels where I'm consistently looking for futur uploads. Keep up the amazing work cause you're currently the highlight of my taco tuesday (besides the taco)
Emilio is still THE chad of mercenaries imo but since the rest of them got buffed in D2R I've been impressed by even the iron wolves. Ok impressed might be a strong word...
WOAH WOAH WOAH! STOP THE PRESSES!! I'm seven and a half minutes in, and I was in all likelihood already going to thumbs up this video...BUT THEN I HEARD IT! The long forgotten swan song of Journey to Silius! WOW That brings back memories! Sir, You've just officially earned yourself a like AND a sub! Well played! *Mind Blown*
Man the fact that you use the og graphic makes me nostalgic. Me and my friends use to challenge ourself on "only this spell " runs. All good until immunes 😂 a good learning tool
I'm impressed you didn't just IM normal. It's pretty easy to get through the bosses when you use IM. Don't forget the to hit ratio is the same on mercs. Your boy needs a few levels so he doesn't get worked too hard. And yes I fall asleep constantly...
1. Chipper skull into socket shield helps so much before first merc. (And actually carries all normal diff. if you want it to) 2. Theres a cube recipe for polearms. Any diamond + kris + staff + belt = 66%-80% magic polearm. This recipe carries hard cause it can get a second magic stat (like flat bonus damage) and also come as nm or hell version of that weapon.
@13:53 Hey Jonathan stuff is really creepy dude. I was falling asleep right at that moment in the video and my name is Jonathan. I know its random but dude WTF. How bro how..
If you gona use an a2 mercenary, make sure to try and give him gear that increased his attack speed and resistances. Also life steal is a must, so you can use a different curse other than life tap. I would play around trying to craft savage polearms (one diamond, one belt, one kris and a staff in the horadric cube). Cannot wait for part 2! This video was really entertaining!!
This is a very fun idea for a video, and the commentary is hilarious. Although this is a good example of why everyone who likes diablo should play project diablo 2. The merc ai is radically improved, they can wear boots belt and gloves, and all five acts' mercs are a valid choice! Great vid
Woah, that's crazy criteria to beat D2 at all difficulties! Hope you'll manage to do it))) Also just an idea - could you make the video full screen for the next parts? Pretty hard to watch tbh. Otherwise real fantastic video!
I once played a self found melee sorc and she got carried by the Merc entirely right from hell act1. With some ethereal blue scythe with 180ed and tals face. That's all the mighter needs, crazy.
I just wanted to say I really enjoy your Can You Beat videos, largely due to your script writing and delivery, and hope you make more of them. Also make a playlist for them on your channel so I don't have to you super entertaining fuck.
I've actually been able to jerk it to every class in the game 💪. Had a hard time with the barbarian so I had to make him leap so I had those 2 frames to see them cheeques bubbled out pointing at me. Mission accomplished mate ! 👌
I was thinking about it while watching you face Mephisto, the Amazon and her passives (Dodge for melee and Avoid for ranged, Evade for dodging while moving) might have been useful for face tanking bosses, not to mention using Inner Sight to lower their defense. The Decoy skill doesn't do damage, and if so, that could be another potential damage sponge for the merc, combine that with the Avoid and Dodge passives and that is two meat shields that bosses will have to chew through to get to the hero of Sanctuary, the merc (unless the boss just decides to toast the merc anyway lol). The only worry is not being able to break physical immunities like the Necromancer on the higher difficulties.
Hey Seer, Seeing how you're still using a Razortine which do 13-22 dmg, you could use the Horadric recipe: Diamond+kris+staff+belt to make a Savage polearm and get even a Exceptional polearm with Lifeleech and massive( subjective) enhanced damage and have a easier time. Kudos, and hope you keep Neeraj

Long live Emilio, aka stabby mcpokey
I didn't think the necromancer's summons count as direct damage because it's not the necromancer directly damaging enemies.
Technically true.
Perfect timing, just packing the kief bowl to be blessed by Seer
This is merc abuse. Waheed needs to join a union.

Just what I needed on this Saturday, thanks, Seer.

Diablo 2 but you are playing as the most productive middle manager
The fact you got thru normal difficulty is a win imo
Now i want to see eight players that work togather to make thair mercs complete the game.
Could you beat Seer using only Seer? Possibly, if Seer was freer, with less fear, riding a deer. Don't let him look in the mirror (he's a peer).
I was thinking about it while watching you face Mephisto, the Amazon and her passives (Dodge for melee and Avoid for ranged, Evade for dodging while moving) might have been useful for face tanking bosses, not to mention using Inner Sight to lower their defense.
The Decoy skill doesn't do damage, and if so, that could be another potential damage sponge for the merc, combine that with the Avoid and Dodge passives and that is two meat shields that bosses will have to chew through to get to the hero of Sanctuary, the merc (unless the boss just decides to toast the merc anyway lol).
The only worry is not being able to break physical immunities like the Necromancer on the higher difficulties.
8:36 Journey to Silius Stage 1 soundtrack! Alleluia!
the worst part of having your merc be ass blasted by non-furry-this-time-around mephisto is having to book a flight to the merc vendor of act 3
Hey Seer, Seeing how you're still using a Razortine which do 13-22 dmg, you could use the Horadric recipe: Diamond+kris+staff+belt to make a Savage polearm and get even a Exceptional polearm with Lifeleech and massive( subjective) enhanced damage and have a easier time.
