Season2 update: not to much changed, Death Cleaver and grief got a dmg buff (tables are not updated) and delirium got the doll transformation removed, making it viable! Triviaīarbarians have the highest life regeneration of all mercs, they fully recover their health in 16.4 seconds (compared to 41s for all other mercs), also they have a native 70 poison resistance. They also kept all their advantages, which means they are the sturdiest of all d2 mercs. Melee splash is especially strong with them, because their might aura does increase its damage too.Īll this combines to act5 mercs being total machines, their damage more than tripled compared to vanilla and they got aoe. Indirectly they have been buffed, by changes to might (better %ed) and most importantly melee splash, which adds an aoe to each hit. They loose the stun effect, gain some defensive scaling and they can kill physical immunes. Their second attack has been changed from stun to concentrate. The might aura might be the selling point for most, but the mace and axe addition adds a lot to their arsenal and enables some high damage builds. Act5 mercs now provide a might aura and can equip maces and axes. This issue has been fixed in the latest version of the game.Mercs have been significantly improved in PD2, they can now equip gloves and belts. Taking off and re-equipping the weapon that gives the Meditation aura would bring it back. Prior to Patch 1.13c, a mercenary with Insight equipped would lose the Aura effect after dying. Level 12-17 Meditation Aura When Equipped

As a hireling weapon, Insight is particularly useful for Act II desert mercenaries equipped with the Prayer aura, as the meditation synergizes with prayer, resulting in a very high healing rate. Instead of wielding it themselves, most players let their Hirelings carry them.

Insight is popular among casters due to the relatively cheap runes necessary for its creation, along with the Meditation aura it provides. 1.10–current Insight is the rune word ' Ral Tir Tal Sol' for polearms or staves in Diablo II: Lord of Destruction or also in missile weapons in Diablo II: Resurrected.
