No merc needed at all. I wouldn't suggest one to be honest, they would die far too often.

For Ubers yes .... but maybe for farming and leveling etc. ?

I could see the act 2 Merc working for us, Chronofield would be a big dps boost for us.

Fighter Mage Skills

Lvl Name Effect
1 BLOOD THORNS Effect: melee attack that unleashes burning nails
6 GLACIAL NOVA Effect: cast a gigantic nova that completely freezes enemies
12 FORTRESS Effect: summons a ring of guard towers around the caster
90 CHRONOFIELD Effect: field that slows the movement and attack speed of enemies

I'll see if I can't put together a good gear set for it and test it out.

hmmm ... sounds intersting and good

I just took the idea and ran with it, actually works surprisingly well for farming, here are the details and I added to the forum guide.

I just put together an Act 2 Fighter Mage merc that is actually surprisingly good, seems to increase clear speed quite a bit and gives me Demon Blood Aura which puts me to 26k life. He casts Fortress combined with 65% CB clears pretty well and picks up stragglers we miss in Duncraig/Fautz, he also casts Chronofield which reduces enemies physical resistance by 10% which helps our VoJ do more damage. Here is the gear I put together for him, had a budget of about 600 TG, and honestly the merc is not needed at all, I just decided it'd be worth testing.

My current life pool with merc's demon blood aura.

I have a summodin around lvl 85 I was considering swapping to this. just wondering which level and which gear I should consider having before taking that leap.
I dont mind farming more on the sumodin or other character to get it started.

I would aim for full mid-game gearing if at all possible, and try to acquire end game pieces as you can

yes you get all of the str/dex you need for gear from Demiurge, no need to put any points into str/dex besides maybe very early game for beginning gear as needed.

sounds good, also check the new script, will rebuff automatically

Tried it and it's a lot better than the beeping. Less glitchy than the original too. Great work!

on this new script we need to go thru and set all the key presses to what we have the skills mapped out to correct?
