Yeah I think the hit recovery is just too long for tanking bots and getting an attack off.
The next breakpoint is miles away though, so I guess I'll just keep to zigzagging and will swap out my UA for more MF :P.

You may also use some well geared merc (easiest is a3.. even in simple crafts he will already be able to tank Fauzt), summons and reanimates to take some attention out of you so you will get less hits -> less hit recovery animations. The problem is in the dreadful rat speed. You will be very likely get hit in very crowded fauzt in your 13-frame-long attack animation. Still ye - u can just do attack-move-attack-move. That's how rat used to be playd.

Afaik, uninterruptable attack is a broken stat and is not currently working

Yeah the barb merc doesn't die in faust and it's easy to position yourself out of the way of the lasers.
Also the charming elf things that are a pretty high level for the symbiosis synergy are a good distraction and they last long enough.
I'm just a lazy player though (why else play rat :P), so I kind of wanted to just tank the bots without having to run around too much.

Now that Nephalem Spirit has been changed to add IED, does it only work with elemental bases?

What's the deal with Candlewake? I finally found one to put on my merc, but it only adds 200 damage in his stats.
I've also tested it vs the Razorspine that I'm using and losing the spike novas doesn't seem worth it.
