Quote:No love for hone sudan? Big crushing blow and maybe amn sockets. Not too rare and you can even upgrade it for more oomph. And Kelpie snare, though damage is weak the slows target helps a lot. I find that a defiance merc tends to last a lot longer with that weapon. Insight, of course is a good generic merc weapon. Combine with a prayer merc for some good healing for caster characters.
A big ole hell yeah to all those really, and another hell yeah to Woestave. My merc 'pwn3d' all of nightmare with it, and even the act boss part in Hell mode. Even though that merc now has a CMoon ogre axe as his endgame weapon, Woestave is still in my stash.
Quote:Helm, you want some good leech circlet. Or tal's mask. Gullamine's face would be nice and not impossible to be find as well. The list here goes on as unique and set helms are ridiculously good for the most part. But gambling for circlets usually is a good idea and your best bet. . So in summary leech, leech, and more leech.
A blood crafted helm is another contender for a source of life leech, and has Deadly Strike chance to boot. (my luck with gambling circlets is mostly pretty bad, so I usually just go for the blood craft.)
