Best base for Treachery on an Act 2 Merc?

5 replies 15971 views

Description

I'm playing a Nec Summoner with a NM A2 Might merc and would like to use Treachery but I'm not sure which base is the best.

Do mercs get movement penalty from elite armors? Is too high def not good because they get hit less and the trigger doesnt happen enough?

Thanks in advance

Mercs are affected by move speed penalties, but I don't think it's such a big deal for them, especially if you have access to Teleport charges.

Pick any armor you like. Issues with high defense and Fade only applied to e-bugged elite armors, which isn't a factor anymore in D2R since ebugging was removed on launch.

Eth-bugging elite armors, which I believe isn't a factor in D2R.

Eth bugging is not working anymore in d2r. Got patched out, tried myself, no increase after socketing

Eth armor, unfortunately.

Yeah, sure it is 2 months old.
Nevertheless someone like me could stumble over here and read about this as a "perhaps or perhaps not".
Especially as it also was not correct somewhere else on the page, where e-bugging was still mentioned as viable.

So I only wanted to clarify the matter.
Cheers.
