I dont know if it's related, but those fireballs from sirens in Act5 also melt my mercs very often.
In order to reduce this, i usually put a

Vampire Gaze on him.

I'd assume by sirens he meant the succubi in which case yes, that's physical.

Are these fireballs doing physical damage? I think Gaze's DR is only against physical attacks (they changed the text on all DR items (e.g.

Stormshield)).

I've been researching my horker build a lot. Like way more than any other build so far and there doesn't seem to be a general consensus on the build. I'd like him to do double duty as a

Gold find barb too. Got any advice on the horker/GF build?

Sure, I just put together a quick build overview of my current favorite GF/MF horker build:

Berserk/WW hybrid (20 points

Berserk / 1 point WW). I only used dual ali baba for that vid and let merc do most of the dmg, but you could switch to Grief + Ali Baba and kill a lot quicker if you wanted. Usually get around 200-300k

Gold per run on P1.

Lots of different variations, and always looking for advice myself!

EDIT: And here's a vid using Grief + Ali Baba just to show how fast you can kill:



But I enjoy the Dual Ali Baba more, as it's actually challenging and gives slightly better drops per run. I have to find a balance between fun and efficiency sometimes, and the super fast Grief kills can get boring for me.
