I have some characters (mainly Lightning Fury Amazon and Lightning/ Chain Lightning Sorceress) where Act 2 Merc is not much needed for his damage, he is there for his auras (Infinity's Conviction and Might / Holy Freeze) and as a " Decoy" (
So I'm thinking in try the Merc with Delirium + a life steal armor (ultimately Chains of Honor, but initially something cheaper that I already have as Skin of the Flayed One) instead of the standard Andariel's Visage + Fortitude.
The ideia is to get extra crowd control in areas with pesky long ranged monsters (yes Gloam and Succubus we are talking about you)
As I don't have a Delirium yet... so I would like some advises/tips/warnings before creating one
In special, my concerns are:
- if Merc will not die frequently (with less life steal - not only the base life steal is lower, but he will deal less damage), way less defense, and lack of full resists (until I made a Chains of Honor)
- if Confuse will proc enough to be useful, as many times I kill most of the mob before he reach them...
