Description

I have e fort on all my online characters mercenaries just because its easy to get, but offline I'm not sure if its worth the
Lo
.

I have 1.8
Ber
runes right now and not sure if its worth using 0.25
Ber
for a Fortitude before I get Enigma.

I have a 12%ed
Eth
Wire Fleece
and a 15%ed
Archon Plate
, non
Eth
, i could make it in. But is it worth it over using Treachery or Hustle until I get Enigma and Infinity?

Can be used to make Runewords:

For what char / build ?

For a2 and a5 merc,
Eth
Forti is best in slot from my point of view, especially with the huge Enhanced Damage and Defense it provides, in 95% of cases.

For a1, BiS is probably
Eth
Hustle, slightly better than Treachery.

Treachery is still a nice, cheaper, non ladder option and the difference with the other two is not big.

made my first Fortitude, and was dissapointed, the 300%ED does not increase damage that much as the big number may suggest.

ya, fort is additive with off weapon ed, so it's a nice boost but not awesome.
for most builds the player does most of the damage so i like Hustle on the merc so the retard AI will keep up with me

If you want your merc to tank: Fortitude

If you want him to do damage or proc curses: Hustle/Treachery.

Easy as that.

For low items I also accept: Perfect Amys,
Ral
,
Hel
, Tokens, Keys. Please don't offer runes lower than
Pul
(with the named exceptions).

NO PM OFFERS PLEASE! BE FAIR AND WRITE INTO THE THREAD :)

There's a cheaper alternative for tank mercs:
Guardian Angel
+
Kira's Guardian


If you are not on a budget, then Chains of Honor is simply one of the best body armors in the game for survivability.

Fortitude is great, sure. But I think it works better in the main character, especially a Barbarian using Grief etc.

You can also use Chains of Honor for melee merc without other life leech options.

Depends on your char's needs. D2R really made fort obsolete as a merc armor. It was the best choice for a lot of builds before, but even then, it was a bit of an unnecessary luxury. Save your
Lo
and make an infy/eni first imo.

Enigma and Infinity change the game, Fortitude does not. So I'd wait for Enigma esp. since you are so close already.

I've got on SCNL
- Mosaics, Cures, and Hustles
- GG crafted amulets
- Perfect uniques
- Bases

If u don't have Enigma yet, I'd just keep the
Ber
pieces safe. Fort is nice, sure, but Treachery legit carries until u get your big runewords.
Fade
+ IAS is insane value for basically nothing.

Use Treachery ,

in single player, it is only you. Enigma is top priority

I was thinking the movie Hustle and Flow or the word Hustle. What kinda runeword is Hustle?????

Maybe I should ask Deckard ;{ ?
