My gold horker on the paper.

Okay, I though some gear for him.

He will be killing NM council and eldrich / shenk for gold.

IK helm lem+lem

Wealth RW as armor

Infernostrides as boots.

Two Bo spears / 2 lem'd Ali baba's

78% gf goldwrap as belt

Dual Dwarf stars.

Some chance guards

3War Cries amulet.

Charms will consist of a ghetto setup of +gf charms and one gheed's fortune.

(10gf sc's coupled with some +30 gf GC's and maybe couple of resist charms to up my survivability.

Merc will be a Prayer merc with eth insight + eth Crown of thieves + eth smoke 1800def.

Any feedback?

I'm thinking about changing the armor for duriel's so that merc could have CBF...|||AFAIK there is a 40gf cap for gc's.|||40 gf is the cap on GC's

I'd be tempted to gear the merc up more for damage, but I've always run Hell Travi on my GF barbs before, so no real idea if your merc has enough pewpew to kill there.|||If your insight is high damage and you add upped Duriel Shell he should be good for Hell council which will pay a lot better in terms of "good" rare items.|||I read about more and more people making a GF barbs. What is the purpose of this build? Just to gamble rare circlets? Because I can't think of any other item worth gambling at the end of the day. Finding gold for repairing or ressurrecting merc doesn't seem like an issue.|||Gambling - either for rare circlets or for base items to craft with (or to sell the gold for runes so other ppl have gold to gamble / buy craft items).|||Quote:

You can also gamble rings and amulets, remember rares can be very valuable. I actually prefer the goldfind necro to the goldfind barb but that is more about style of play than anything else.|||Why NM? Might as well follow Mal's leaping guide and assuming your merc has a decent weapon, you should be fine - that's what I have used and while it can be repetitive, its a nice change from my sorcs, sins, and hdin.|||People often do NM because it is easier to kill the council/survive but the gold return is about the same as hell. I like hell better because of the rares that can drop.|||When I was on bnet, NM was too fast, they'd all drop too quickly and I wouldn't get drops like mals or mara's - The risk of a temp ban was bad enough, the lack of drops sealed the deal.

Granted, if your'e on SP and looking for gems and jewels/charms to reroll, the speed is welcome.
