Treachery is very good, but hardly the sole king. As you progress through in merc rmour d2r questions Treachery Rune Word. It is all about preferences and what you want from your merc. These are my recommendations for the best merc in Diablo 2 merc armour d2. This armor's golden era ended with 1.09 as far as I am concerned.Īside from those, I also frequently see Duress (for the CB), Smoke (for the cost, and this one does not require the target to take hits before the resistances shoot up), and Fortitude (for the rune wasteage ). I see this used a bit, but I admit - I really do not see how this one could be superior to Treachery. The merc may not be able to stack DR and MDR like a player can, but I assure you it can make a significant difference. Gladiator's Bane also has CBF, and both types of integer damage reduction. Its +strength can also be a pretty big advantage when trying to fit the merc with something like a Colossus Voulge.

Well, to compare it to the armors you mentioned in your first post:ĭuriel's has CBF, which is pretty hard to get on a merc.

IAS, FHR, psn damage, and CRAZY all res + phys res.
