Players have the ability to recruit mercenaries to fight alongside them in D2R. Even though they have a respectable amount of fighting strength, mercenaries can only be equipped by players with armor and weapons. When engaging in close quarters combat, having high-quality D2R gear can increase a mercenary's chances of avoiding death. If you aren't sure how to select items for mercenaries, the ones listed below are some good options to consider. Because having sufficient life can increase mercenaries' endurance, it is necessary for them to use equipment that has traits that allow them to steal life. However, because fewer armors have this affix, helms that can be styled in a variety of ways have become the preferred choice. The effect that helms have on defense is typically quite weak. Helms of Eth offer a potential for increased defense when compared to other helms. Helms of set items, which are not considered to be ethereal items, are excellent as well, despite the fact that helms of Eth are superior. Tal RashasHoradric CrestThis headpiece has a decent amount of resistance, and its ability to steal life is about average. We strongly suggest that players make use of this item whenever mercenaries equip armors that have no resistance.
Vampire GazeThis headpiece has the potential to reduce damage taken by up to 20%
- When used in conjunction with other damage-reducing armors, it will produce the most effective damage-reduction effect possible
- However, the effect of having life stolen from you is somewhat mitigated
- The Crown of BurglarsThe maximum enhanced damage that can be done with this helm is up to 200% ED, and it has a high life stolen power when all variables are maxed out
- We strongly suggest that players select this helm whenever their armor features resistances
- The ability of weapons to steal a significant amount of life from foes when they are used to inflict significant damage on them makes weapons an essential component of any security support system
- If the mercenaries already have equipment such as the Crown of Thieves helm, which has a high ability to steal life from other players, then they can use base items with the Insight Runeword to guarantee that they will live
- However, if a player has a significant amount of mana, greater than one thousand, they have the option to forego using the Insight Runeword
- Mercenaries are immune to death, regardless of whether or not they supply mana on occasion
In addition to this, they are able to construct more sophisticated weapons. Using this in conjunction with Insight Runeword is preferable to using relatively low-grade base items. After each successful kill, it will supply mana. The more monsters that are killed by mercenaries, the more mana they will receive. When the level is high, a significant amount of damage is dealt. And depending on your level, it can deal twice as much damage. Then, the power that is exerted by a level 6 critical strike is beyond anything that can be imagined. It has a powerful ability to attack. Obedience Runeword can be used on base items by players provided they have enough mana. When players have a sufficient amount of mana available, it is superior to Insight. Many of the attributes of base items can be improved using it. It is possible, for instance, that it will grant fast hit recovery, increase strength and dexterity, and so on. The Cost of SacrificeWhen mercenaries successfully hit a target, it has the potential to steal up to 15% of that target's life. Additionally, it has the ability to Decrepify. Players are able to make use of their mana when they have an abundance of it.
Kelpie SnareBecause it has the ability to slow targets' speeds by 75%, it is an effective weapon for taking down bosses. We will have to find a place to store this ethereal item. When players have reached a high enough level to use it, they will be able to effectively deal with a variety of bosses. Players have the option to do so if they have accumulated enough mana.
