    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.

      @HoboGod 7 месяцев назад +1

      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.

    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.

    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!!

  • @Linkforlife199
    @Linkforlife199 8 месяцев назад

    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.
