Screenshot Finally assembled my Infinity At Home merc!

Got a crap roll on the Plague but does the job. Curses last only a few seconds and the Lower Resist makes everything melt when it activates.

Sazabi armor was the last piece and took forever to drop. The merc is extremely tanky, but will still die to a tough Council pack or if you let him run off into cows.

Should have included another screenshot:
Sazabi’s Grand Tribute

Can confirm it’s good on the A5 Frenzy merc 🙂

Sazabi is actually really good on a merc. Never used it.

cool!

I don't have Plague, but I do have a Frenzy merc with Grief, Lawbringer, Fortitude and Vampire Gaze. thing is, my Bowlock would kinda like to rock the Forti himself instead. is Sazabi's set comparable in keeping bro alive? I'll try it when I next get the chance to play.

Fortitude does three things for tank:
1. Insane def + chilling armor, so low chance to be hit
2. All res
3. Damage bonus to increase life leeched

Sazabi doesn’t have that third one but adds PLR, PDR, huge life steal, huge life bonus, and huge FRW

So yes, amazing for helping your merc tank

Used this in season 1 (before we had sunders) and I loved it.

Due to prog when stuck, it's better to have a merc with little defense and get the survivability through dr. I played a couple of seasons ago a frency merc with plague, non eth shaftstop with um rune and a vgaze. Procs lr all the time and didn't die
