Sweet Phil Unkillable Merc Video

Hey I just watched this and found it super useful, apparently

Prayer tree auras synergy and stack on act 2 mercs:

Not really any new or changed mechanic. And not a glitch or bug in any way.

This has been baller for an A2 Insight merc for ages. Though yeah, the addition of Cure does make it even better..for you..the merc loses a ton of survivability by comparison as you

Sacrifice his leech for it, among other things. Or even worse, you're getting armor leech which means you're sacrificing fort for all of this, resulting in massive performance loss on the merc. At least from a late-game performance. Early to mid, it is a very solid solution.

The "it says it has a syn but it doesn't tell you what it is!" part kinda cracks me up though..I mean..it literally tells you in line 4 of the tooltip.
(or it would, beyond "0", if you actually put any pts into

Prayer)

TBH I didnt know about it synergizing with Insight either, even without Cure it outheals some heavy poison though

Actually had 2 of my builds use a

Prayer merc for ages now for exactly this synergy.

On the others though, the

Sacrifice for it isn't worth it. And even on the two that do use Insight/

Prayer, neither one will get Cure as that is always too high a cost for not enough gain.

Interesting. Thats a nice idea for the merc. Thanks for sharing!

Only for end game build when you give him CoH and you sorc is strong enough.
For budget and mid gear, he should die quite often because of low res or no leech.

seems ideal for a

Nova mancer...
hes not tanking by himsef and monsters die in 2 seconds

So for a blizz sorc, once you get the sunder charm you can dismiss Infinity and andy and replace them with Insight and Cure?

For a Cold sorc, you don't need Infinity in the first place

However, having that option for a Cold Sorc with

Energy Shield IS interesting. And more budget friendly.

well I already made that helmet RW and now I am searching

Eth base for Insight, I will definitelly try. I have sorc so this would mean a lot
and poison is just annoying sometimes I really have to go to town to visit healer.

So far I am happy with my act5 merc he can solo a lot (but for some reason he still dies to hydras).

this

Helm with Chains of Honor is gg

I have tried it. Sadly my merc Fortitude is in armor which requires 220str. Se Emilio cant wear it, with duriels shell he was just bad. So I am back to act5.

But if u are melee and using dracs gloves then he has life leech and it can be doable.

Use another base, not

Sacred Armor or any high str requirement.
A Sup

Eth

Archon Plate can give +800 def while requires only 93 str.

When you can get

Life Tap from drac, you don't need

Prayer merc + Cure + Insight

well I dont have

Lo to make another Fortitude, nor runes to buy base. I bought this armor because it was super cheap.

actually poison is what is bothering me most. Sometimes I really have to go to town or drink multiple potions.
