I've tried it with a "Nadir" I made on both The Smith and Countess and I didn't see the smoke thingy above their heads. I'm not expecting to lower their vision but the poison resist and defense would be great. So does it work on bosses without a visual indication or not at all? Or maybe charges don't work. |

no, I would go for another form of damage to deal with the immunes that cant be broken. An act 1 physical merc, act 2 (recovery or offensive) from nm to give converts act 3 cold or act 5 wolf. for pure safety an act 3 cold merc (rehire in NM for blizzard) will provide slowing and good dps once he is leveled abit. Get as much +skills + cold% damage and - enemy cold res on him as you can. fill his armour and helm sockets with diamonds and get some life per kill on him if you can. Life regen items are great if you can stack around 100 regen for normal. Angelic set and full hsarus is a great option from act 3 till act 5 and even till act 1-2 NM. The big life regen will keep him alive when his damage is low and pretty meaningless. You really just want him for the holy freeze aura in normal and to freeze stuff for you, so damage aint too important. Once you get your new merc from NM get as much + skills and fcr on him as you can. Get him to 140fcr for the last breakpoint (may be 145, i dont remember now, but 145 is easy enough to get). |

yeh, being a hc player myself thats why i suggested it. The -20 enemy poison res from the aura would only work at 1/5th potency against immunes so thats only breaking immunes up to 103 res. At least with another element at least one of you will be throwing out attacks at full power against any given enemy. Decoy and valk will keep him out of the fray long enough to dish out the damage and slowing enemys will increase both your own and his survivability |
