Afaik Act V Mercs can equip barbarian swords, but only one.

Generally the Act 2 Merc (especially shapeshifter) should be better at tanking. In Fauz specifically I think Act 3 mecs might actually be better due to the massive defense bonus they get from warp armor, but idk.

Okay, now I do have a quite possibly dumb question: is

an actually viable item for an Amazon, or is it purely just a gag item?... I mean, obviously, it might really lean into the latter, but one can dream lol.

Realistically tho, since it is a Two-Handed sword I don't see it being viable without having Curare. And even then... what's the point? The weapon itself doesn't fit on any of the skill trees and Wyrd is quite underpowered early on ;-;

You have to farm them in like p3 games. Eg. I farmed ancient tunnels for like 1-2 hours with no oils, joined a p3 game and got 2 oils in one run. Made me very salty.

Hah, I was trying, but I couldn't find games with more than 1 person on servers near me (Europe). So I gave up and soloed it. In what difficulty did you farm it? Can it also be a normal game?

How to kill the second boss to get the scroll needed to complete The Void? I think that's the name of Gluttony. It is lethal only when you beat it inside a square platform. I will take a centimeter of his life away from him and heal himself.

120-150k Aracnomancy excluding Firedance and Vengefull Power, -170% resists.
