Hello people,

I love my Manic Pixie Dreamgirl on my more or less trap assassin (well, traps + full
Natalya + Chaos to
Whirlwind ), with Delirium / Treachery / Ice.

And someone said "Hustle armor is cool for a1 merc, you should try it." And our dear Schnorki gave me one at the end of this ladder season (thanks again buddy !).

I have just tried, and I think it's indeed actually better !

- The IAS of 40 instead of 45 on a Mat Bow does not change the breakpoint.

- The res is better : 10 all is better than cold only

- The only drawback is to lose
Fade, but as MPD is not hit that often I tended to not have it activated often... and not when I needed it sometimes !

- However you gain
Evade (no hit, no issue), Dex (all the better for an archer!) and probably most important, huge frw. And as with her AI she spends her time repositioning, she does that much faster, allowing to avoid more hits and hit herself more often.

Great stuff, love it !

Have you evertried her with Faith? I just wonder without LL how does this work. With

Evade from Hustle, she could survive easily but never sure.

* I trade both ladder and non-ladder, please check before asking.
* All my trades are for runes, keys (especially KoT and KoH) and essences!

Faith is great in general for any a1 merc as it boosts your perf. I believe this would work as well, even with less survivability, but from my point of view it's less an MPD than a booster then. Ice is completely on the crowd control theme. BotD is less a competitor to Ice than before due to the fact that with the zon bows now available I think Ice is better suited.

But if one has an actual try of the Faith/Delirium/Hustle a1, please tell us
