Yes. It adds more minions, +3 skills (more than any other good option) and the most important part: 1000 life which is effectively 3000 life due to Embalming and Skeletal Flayer aura. And the life Regen is also really good. Plus the base minion stats. Goetia Plate is the best armor you can possibly get.

Ok, so I completed Bremmtown and got the swirls but can't upgrade my charm. It says "May the Light of Dien-Ap-Sten shine upon you!", but doesnt have the second part, "I Killed A Dragon and All I Got Was This Lousy Charm" or the +1 max skill level upgrade. Currently my class charm just has the 1 from ennead and both minigames. Am I missing something?

You have to beat Bremmtown within 3 minutes of entering. Maybe that's the problem? If you can't cube the charm with an arcane crystal then this is very likely.

Im playing this build on hardcore. Are there any changes you would make to it because of that? Which ubers should I just skip and what are the places/mobs I should look out for? I died at lvl 53 act5 worldstone place where the mobs blinked on me and i got instagibbed

Skip: Terror Sewers. Redo them once you're level 120.
Crystalline Flame Medallion (or really REALLY play safe. Maybe drink a pot before you go ahead and pick it up. Still it's easy to die here due to the nuclear bombs from the summoned Mathael and Imperius and pouncing untargetable enemies. You can also try it once you've farmed the Ghal rune for Santa Compana for a better meat shield.)
Spirit of Damnation (or don't walk around randomly but instead walk in a straigt line all the time)
Quov Tsin unless you somehow get to 150 flat DR AND 90 all res.
Duncraig (and thus also Vizjun) - exploding barrels. Nuff said.
Xazax (unless you're familiar with this uber. You have no meat shield after all.)
Kingdom of Shadow (you can die here at the bridge if you're crowded. But you can also just save and exit and just reroll the mobs.)

Get to level 92 before you walk through terror act 4 in order to get more defense and avoid before you encounter the heretics in act 4. Plus the monster token enemies can hit you really hard here. So once you see those monster token guys, save & exit.

teleport around when getting the monster tokens in act 2 because the fairys do lots of damage to stationary targets.

In case of Hatred act 5. Maybe you should wait a little bit (1-2 seconds) before you blink to your minions because Alpha centaurs can easily pounce on you and they hit hard. But when you wait they'll pounce on your minions.

What is the best proc for my merc's bow. I just got flamefront on it with pretty good ED, IAS, cold damage. Should i keep it for the endgame gear ?

It's my personal pereference to get a proc that can proc itselves. So any wdm proc is nice. Imho 25% ctc arrows on striking and 18% ctc throwing knives on striking are the best ones but I haven't tried the flamefront Proc. Go ahead and try it out and please tell me how well it worked/ how often it procced.

she shot it non-stop at cow level on terror. I just finished terror today so i can't go to something like TA to tell you how much damage she deal. Maybe i can give it to you to test it out if you want.
