My Werebear can hardly hit anything

[pakman]

I was going to ask: isn't the weapon of choice for the blessed 4-frame attack a phase blade? I'll have to check ATMA to see how often they can drop, but later on, I'd suggest grabbing one of those if you can find it. I don't know what the damage would be like, or if you're going for high damage or just being able to kill things eventually and tank. The phase blade can come with up to 6os so you can stuff some PGems into it to get some nice elemental damge to deal with PIs. Also, look for a stick with nice elemental damage for your merc to poke around with. I find that rares seem to drop much more often now than they did "back in the day." Or you could cube a hit power stick for your merc and see what you get.
