Also, which mercenary do you recommend hiring?

Thank you


I've seen more people using Skulls lately to help scale their damage a bit better, but if you're farming more frequently in big areas, crushing blow will likely be the superior option.

No comment on merc, didn't use one because it didn't fit this build well for the constant luring. Merc would get stuck behind or prevent mobs from following.

How is crushing blow any good? It doesnt work on bosses, and hammer 2shots mobs anyways.

Necrobots when they're spellbind, it makes a big difference. Hammer seemingly hits about 5x per second or hit or wahtever as it passed through enemies from what I could visually see. Crushing blow plays a big factor in farming even if you aren't directly seeing the effect. There's so many hits happening through big mobs.

I'd be interested in a build that relies entirely on crafted (runeword) items vs. drops. 1) because drops are unreliable & 2) runewords are fun.

Runewords are bad, because paragon is the only choice for uberskill. If you want curare to be an option, you would need some pierce for it, and the third one is useless. And on hammerzon, you dont really have an other way to get more hp, as you need dex for block.

That's why the build uses TU's and cheap pieces of gear for most content, so that when you can begin to get the stuff you need, you c an get the stuff y ou
need.

whatever you need. if you're low on speeds, get combat speed, if you need more block, get dex. if you're covered on those, just get magic find or something

Honestly, Ismail + Geleb are an amazing combination for HOZ zons. 20% DR, proc, high defense, 50% combat speed, and most importantly: +10 wolf stance will help you reach all your breakpoints and maximize damage potential. You don’t lose that much dmg from the already nerfed Skin of Kabraxis and the 320% EWD from wolf stance makes up for it, easily. You could also opt for maffer’s instead of Ismail for the +2 piece set bonus but it’s all preference.
