TTAD from doom (note it's not called TTAD anymore on skill tooltip exactly for such reasons) = is affected by critical strike

Does this also mean that it would be gg to have both doom and a source of ttad as well when using attacks that hit multiple times like stormblast/ancients hand? Just saw that an had to ask....

Real question I'm here for is, I've been playing with different mercs and wondering if the act 3 mercs can block if given a shield with block chance? and does their block % work the same as a players in terms of dex requirements?

i've farmed akarat for the trophy since last night. i was re summoning him once after he's killed. after about 30+ summons, still no trophy. i'd do these in a single game. i start over only when i'm dead. help

30 summons - moans about no trophy - hmmm :thinking:

Your username describes you perfectly with your posts.

it's a 2% chance. people regularly have to kill 200+ akarats for the trophy. It;s not a hard uber to complete. Just kill til it drops. Not a big deal. Don't flood forum with "help" posts because you didn't get a trophy on the first kill, ya know?

Answering my own question here in case anyone else is wondering.

"H) Blocking. This only applies to your Iron Wolves since they're the only
ones that can equip a shield. Iron Wolves cannot block so giving them a
blocking shield such as Moser's or Stormshield would do no good as far as
his blocking stat was concerned."

This is from information regarding D2 not Median so it is possible that it is incorrect but I don't think thats the case after testing out the merc last night.
