Description
Pros:
level 37+ Enchant - adds loads of ar, so no extra points needed in dex beyond min to wear gear for max chance to hit, adds a bit of dmg too,
Resist Fire aura - no need to get fire res from gear, and can free up a ring slot from Dwarf Star for something better
ranged fire attack - gets those pesky enemies that stray away from your melee character, his Fireball does ~3.5k damage which is actually not bad
Ranged merc ai - stays away from actual danger and doesn’t seem to agro monsters,
It’s fun!
Cons:
Cost: At least Vex needed - Flickering Flame is a requirement, I bet Dragon and coh armour would also help, but I’m not there yet so a Lionheart works just as well
Pure fire dmg - if it’s fire immune, this guy won’t help
Gear: note +sorc skills won’t work on this guy, has to be +fire or +all skills to up his spells
Helm - Flickering Flame (+3 fire skills)
Weapon - Hexfire (+3 fire skills), could use something +3 all skills, but I’m not putting my hoto on a merc
Shield - Spirit (+2 all skills), are there any +3 fire skills shields out there?
Armour - Lionheart (+strength & res), chains of honour (+2 skills, res and strength), Dragon ( Holy Fire aura - but wow I’m ssf offline, so that’s too expensive for me)
So who’s this merc for? He definitely adds value to a melee char (trav running barbs I’m looking at you!) especially one that isn’t hurting for a might/ Fanaticism aura. Also if your looking to augment your damage with fire and don’t need a mana aura, then yea he’ll help too. But if your a necro, hammerdin, fire sorc, or fire Druid, there’s probably better options.
Is it worth a Vex? Not over other useful rune words like hoto/Exile, but if you already have those and a spare Vex, then I’d say yes it’s worth it.
Try it out! Let me know what you think!
Also if someone can try this with a Dragon armour I’d be interested in the results!
Good luck
