2. i am not an excellent player but i know my way around arpgs, and especially diablo etc. with my current gear level (few sacreds, no set, mostly t5/t6) its very hard to even farm k3k. does it get (much) better with improved gear or does it stay such a stop and go maneuver (with permanent visits to town to rez your merc). which leads me to
3. do you even bother with mercs? most endgame videos dont seem to

thanks in advance!


1. Leader of goats has voodoo shot (xbow necro skill) on death. Helps if you have many summons, minions around - it can target them instead of you. Also moving fast and a lot of defense helps.

2. It gets better with better gears, charms and each signet eaten. Just play.

3. I don't. Some people do.

The problem is that in K3KBA you die from curse+Miasma combo. Curse itself does not kill you, thus if you can bring minion(s) to distract Ennead Necromancer so he casts Miasma on them, you jump to him and kill.

When there's no Ennead necromancers around, yes, you can jump to town and heal yourself if you don't have Life Leech/LoSiM/LaK.

Yeah, I know that that curse doesn't kill me per se, but it prevents me from healing, which can be problematic.
I do have some life leech. Not much, but enough to survive under that curse, for now. Before, I just didn't pay attention to the fact that life leech still works when I'm under the curse.

3. Some mercs can shine endgame but only if you gift them with a bunch of rare SU's (like act 5 merc).

A3 merc are tanky and good even with cheap honorific gear :P My Necrolyte clears it without any problems (of course he will die if he will be unlucky and get almost all of arrowside hits)

So I am looking to play with people and I am wondering if people play on open multiplayer or the "locked" multiplayer?
So far I have only played on single player.
