Post patch ancients

290 is the right Spot, Yes.
I made a mistake, i forgot something
there needs to ba another 15AR Jewel in Armor

Base AR 165 (lvl98), +50 Tomb + 60 COA +15 in Armor = 290

You can just go with kiras. The Physical Damage Reduction on COA is not important a lot.

thats me. And Yes, i allready tried this.
And Yes, its working.
Tomb Reaver, Guardian Angel and Kira's Guardian or Crown of Ages

You want to put 1x Stone and 2x ED+Max DMG in in to the weapon for more LL and DMG

You can change Kiras for COA with 2x 15 AR, If all are perfect on AR rolls, you only need addtional 30 AR.

for the next IAS breakpoint you need 30 IAS, preferable offhand for more dmg on Weapon.

I have tested jt since last week, and Emilio is doing fine.

i see someone is shopping for a Tomb Reaver with high res and an ethereal Guardian Angel on the market - maybe the idea is not that wrong

I kinda want to try this. Not that I need it. My smiter is doing fine. But just to see if its possible

How often does the Fade proc from the Stone? I've thought about giving my merc a Stone just for the Fade proc, but dunno if 1% chance is enough.

My level 95 merc has 62 resist all base. I believe at level 97 he will have 66, but let's call it 65 since I think that is what you need to have to max with CoA and 3 jewels. The ancients Conviction aura is -100. So that puts base down to -35.

-35 + 30 resist all from CoA + 50 resist all from Tomb Reaver = 45 resist all

15% resist in armor + 2x 15% resist all jewel in CoA = 45% more. Total is now 90% resist all, your max.

Now, if you don't have a level 97 merc and perfect TR and CoA, you could just swap one of the ED jewels for a resist all jewel. Is that better or worse than getting the 15% DR from CoA? I would think the DR is better, but I haven't played this setup either.

If he is hit 100 times, it is triggered once on average .

Take into account that he is on the frontline tanking for you and he gets pretty hammered, so Fade could proc more easily as if were to be triggered from your Stone.

fire Damage from Talic can still damagin him.
But in a dozen runs, Merc died zero time. i love it!
MY little besti is allways withme

How come the cold res in the screenshot is 5% lower than the others?

Looks like you went CoA over Kiras?

each Anienct gives a specific debuff on his element.
And in this screenshot Korlic is the last one alive, thats why only his debuf aplies

Yes, CoA with two Um

paired with Kiras and and Guardian Angel and you´re good

okay here me out guys

act 3 merc with Static Field + Silence sword + Kira's Guardian + Guardian Angel + Gerke's Sanctuary + 3x Mal = 90 all res and 39 mdr

maybe THAT is his purpose??

Interesting, but what does he do for you when you aren't fighting the ancients?

Dual Phoenix for lvl 30 Redemption aura?
