Have you thought about/tried putting more points into void archon for the debuff?

I was thinking of it for leveling but in the end I didn't really use Void archon that much. It wasn't really needed.

makes sense...currently leveling it now so don't see a huge difference while the debuff is up.

Wit one point in skeletal flayers, do you find yourself constantly resummoning?

I don't use the flayers (or any summon for that matter) when doing normal stuff, only for few ubers where they help distract the enemies/bosses (Ureh, Uldy stages, JDay~)

- at 2h barb thread, Aero discovered by trial and error that -enemy def hit - works on bosses too. As a result no points for dexterity ( for 2h barb deX has only 1 usage) - and I have done with 2 h barb very well. Now I'm trying this build with no dex and these gloves.

Yes, Visegrip works. However, the only boss I'd use them on is Kabraxis if you do it early with mediocre gear. Giving up Wolf stance for them just isn't worth it in terms of clearspeed and with 20-25k AR which is easy to hit without any points in dexterity once you got most of the charms, you'll have plenty good chance to hit bosses.

I don't see a reason to. Only thing it has going for it is high +skills. Other than that, it has worse proc, stats and less MO space compared to both TU quivers.

Great build! I tried a bow druid but his single target was really lacking, this is way more fun.
Any mercenary suggestions (act and gear)?

For leveling, Shapeshift from act 2. Just dunk some random stuff on him and he'll do fine, his primary function is to act as a meatwall anyway. I also wouldn't fret too much about a merc while leveling. There are some areas in the game where the merc will just die and nothing will change that.

Once you start farming rifts (uberlevels), then I suggest Act 5 merc with Qarak's Will for a strong bloodlust proc. Bogspitter (Yul runeword) helm and rest of the gear can be creepy shrinecrafts for more str (More str = more damage = more kills = better bloodlust uptime).

Alternatively you can give him 4 pieces of the barbarian 2h set (everything but weapon) for an extra 200% damage to Bloodlust, but I find Bogspitter to be way too good to pass up.
