Do you know if when I equip my merc with gear that enhances bloodlust damage and duration, that will also apply to me? Or does that only apply to my merc at the moment he procs bloodlust?

Whatever proc/spell your merc uses will only benefit from the buffs the merc has equipped.

i.e. if you're using something like

Adrenaline Rush

Adrenaline Rush
Ring
Required Level: 100
Item Level: 120
+1 to All Skills
40% Combat Speeds
40% Movement Speed
Maximum Elemental Resists +1%

, you won't get 200% duration from merc's bloodlust. merc would have to be wearing the ring.

I mean.. your gear is miles ahead of what I'm still using even now at 25 charms done. I'm still in TU's + a crafted shit helm, so I'm sure you should do pretty well with your setup. It should go smoother, as long as you find fire pierce somewhere for AH to be effective.

You can get a ton of defense just with Runemaster alone. Some DR from Dear Esther and Jitan armor, and then the leech/life on kill should sustain you well enough. Only thing is you're restricted to the fortress cooldown then, but if it works with the procs well enough, it should be good.

I find a quiver with cryo beam on striking and all my problems are solves :lol:

added merc sections for each part of game, fixed end-game jump link. progressed through later charms (see end of guide with task list). Will do write-ups for those charms and upgrades soon.

Nice update with potential endgame gear. Btw that last glaive you mention doesn't have %slow as stated, at least, doesn't show up in the item preview when clicking on it.

has slow target, but it has huge damage and fire pierce to make it more than useful for the last heroic bosses, since we struggle with fire pierce for now, only sitting at about 45.

Edit: Unless you meant

Emberstorm

in which case, that one carries average damage but gives a huge boost to fire pierce and is really easy to find.

Will this guide be finished? Im having a ton of fun with the build and ive gotten almost all of the mid game charms

It will be, indeed. I've been distracted the last week or so, but mainly just trying to get the proper gear to go ahead and do some of the later bosses. I have quite a bit completed still with the early/midgame gear, but I just have yet to do the writeups on them. Progress is listed at the bottom of to-do stuff

Will this be finished before 1.3?

I tried to run my 'T6' barb with Bellifortis last week. Not super but with a few fortress proc items it's also pretty solid in ta. Sadly the proc is not that good. I feel TU6 glaive still is stronger.
