Technical questions surrounding a build

confused monsters can, even if only inadvertently, hurt you

Never noticed a problem, but then I never needed to get close. I was casting near the edge of screen, so mainly there were bodies left or weakened monsters that could be BP and Meteored. When curses are your main attack, you need to be aware of overwriting problems and equip the merc appropriately.

ou have the CE radius necessary

I had a max CorpsePopper, lots of fun for certain areas, but no corpse no bang and you are purposely needing corpses for your army. Bone Spirit is a better answer when you have some other mass area attack (in my case, Confuse), and can be used against Bosses.
