Merc for hammer-palla - Blizzard Sector

robin_nerf · 08-30-2005, 02:37 PM

Most of poeples say that i should choose a : ACT2 Merc (Defense).
But i dont know which to choose, i i will choose : "nightmare" or "hell" act2 merc?

What do you think is the best?
I really dont know the differents on the nightmare and hell act2 merc:

Plz help me.

nightmare is good cuz it uses HOLY FREEZE.........

If you had looked a bit on forums or even search button, you'd have found this thread...... -_-'

Anyways, I'd use a a2 nm merc with eth insight / eth fort / eth dream.........

if youve got the money for that stuff, isnt it somewhat expensive? or am i wrong, i havent played in awhile.

In My opinion, if youre a rich *person* (cant fully express my emotions on this matter) you can afford any of the three act 2 mercenaries, and throw an eth doom on em for the holy freeze aura. However Doom is expensive if im not mistaken.

Normal defensive act 2
use doom

Fort+gaze=gg

What is "Doom"? A weapon? A armor? or what?

But the "hell act2 merc(defense)" and the "normal act2 merc(defense)" is the same, or?

Defense/Normal Difficulty: Jab/Defiance
Defense/Nightmare Difficulty: Jab/Holy Freeze
Defense/Hell Difficulty: Jab/Defiance

As i can see it, the only different is that the nightmare have holy Freeze ?

**Stifle_this** · 08-31-2005, 02:01 PM

they also mature differently, the normal ones tend to get better stats once they are fully lvled up

robin_nerf · 08-31-2005, 04:01 PM

Ohhhh....this was hard, a normal,nightmare or hell act2 merc?
Plz help me to choose!

Doom is a runeword, about 1/4 the way down this page:
http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/ite...ords-110.shtml
I have an act 2 merc from nm with my barb and he kicks *** with this weapon. Usually my barb dies from an iron maiden spell before the merc does. I don't have the best armor, rockstopper helm and 1400ish armor that is nothing special but it works.

**Stifle_this** · 08-31-2005, 06:04 PM

yes try to get an NM merc. Then if you can get a runeword, which i think is called infinity? It lowers has an aura with lowers enemy resists.

**Freedom-Fighta** · 09-08-2005, 03:59 AM

Eternity Has Conviction while Equipped. This is good for the elemental sorcys and for elemntal Javazons/Bowazons. This is actually an essential move for any PUR LF Javazon (UNBELIEVABLE damage here), as the conviction aura can kill an enemies lightning immunity (YAY 1.10+).

**A|fzZz** · 09-08-2005, 07:15 AM
