unless you give him some bloodlust boosting items , his bloodlust innate by itself is quite crapy . if you just want the bloodlust , you get better results by using a barbarian merc with

Hello, does anybody know ways to scale damage of on-death procs by summons? I'm thinking a Merc/golem with on-death items, fire elementals, revived quill rats/detonators, etc. Thank you!

[Elendilli]

Can anyone tell me what items do I need to give an act 2 mercenary to be able to survive faustinville? I just want him to not die just to get his bloodlust (and eventually any procs from items). His damage output doesn't matter.

Rule of thumb for A2 or A5 even A1 (if u even use a1) merc to survive any situation is that they need as close to 50% dr as possible, capped resistances/some max resistances and most importantly a source of some lifesteal. As long as they are hitting stuff, they will never die. To further enhance your merc you can mo Uninteruptable Attack on all pieces of armour.

UA is OP, item is made for wdm mercs literally. Can mo more res, flat dr etc...
Mo lifesteal and %ar on weapons
Mo'd resistances to reach res cap on armour pieces
Mo UA last because not everyone will be level 140 after 10 mo's.

%ar jewels with %lifesteal. anything extra is just nice like life.

The rest of the items don't matter much (not including weapons since I already covered it a few posts ago). You can probably craft everything at first and transition. Probably a lot more ways to build your merc this is just the way I do it.

I've done a bit of searching, and a few people say Jinn because of the fire dmg? Anyone have any experience with xbow necro and can share their experience?

Can Immolation Bomb oskill still spawn in this new ladder? Gone through a quite a few shrines and have cycled through everything or so it seems. But I feel like I just saw it last ladder and theres nothing in the patch notes about it. Can anyone confirm if immo bomb will spawn on sin claws still?

Can still spawn on claws. Went through quite a few shrines to roll Limpet this season and unfortunately immo bomb rolled far more often, but that was probably just bad luck.

rathma chosen is clear choice for damage output. veil king if you need something to tank for you.
