A little clarification on A3 mercs

All,

I like many have never dreamed of moving away from Waheed of act 2 - but one thing could change my mind. Static Field.

As a Frenzy barb, i hear everybody when they say that clear speed is to slow in relation to other classed - i also hear those crying out for splash damage, which i do not feel is the answer at all.

But could static field be the answer?

First: The A3 merc is able to use some swords - i cant find anything on the internet, is there anything stopping me from making doom for her? It would only be for the holy freeze aura. Lots of runes required, so nearer the end of ladder is ever.

Second: Will +skills and +lightning skills increase the level of static field?

Third: Will FCR increase the rate of casting static field? IE would i get more SF in a minute with +100FCR instead of +0 FCR?

It seems to me, that whilst i lose Might - i get 40% off hell mobs, especially the likes of cows. I am concerned that there are many lightning immune in hell, but holy freeze will still slow them down a bit so she isnt completely useless.

Im also hearing that i get freebie enchant, for some badly needed extra attack. Canny be a bad thing!

We may have to wait for PTR to pop, but doesnt this seem like an actual ‘viable’ alternative to Waheed? Have we found a mercenary for a frenzy barb of comparable worth?

sorry but i need the act2 to break resistances with infinity and being able to play with 2 or 3 extra builds.

Thats true, but you arent a frenzy barb, and infiniity isnt going to arrive day one is it? :stuck_out_tongue: Thats end game stuff

Viability mainly depends on AI imo, I think +all skills work but specific +skills might not. They use sword and shield. Enchant is a nice buff for AR builds.(However there is always demonlimb)
