Piercing Attack

2021-05-03T11:54:41Z

Socialism: Added note that Blade Fury doesn't pierce.

{{Attack nav}}
{{Intro}}
{{Mb|=Piercing Attack}} adds a chance for arrows, bolts, [[javelin]]s, [[throwing axe]]s and [[throwing knife|throwing knives]] to pierce a target, which sums with that of the [[Amazon]]'s [[Pierce]] skill and other Piercing Attack items (although when [[two weapons]] are used only that of the primary or attacking weapon is added; that of the other weapon is ignored). >100% chance is redundant.
*Piercing occurs whenever a hit check is successful, or skipped ([[Lightning Bolt]] and [[Lightning Fury]] always hit). Subsequent blocking of the [[missile]] will prevent it applying its damage and [[:Category:Modifiers|modifiers]] to that target, but won't prevent it from piercing.
*[[Guided Arrow]] can no longer pierce.
*The missile can pierce a maximum of four times, allowing it to hit up to five targets.
*[[Blade Fury]] does not pierce.
*{{Warn|=If a hit check is '''not''' successful but piercing '''is''' successful, the missile may ''appear'' to pierce its target and even display graphical effects, but it doesn't ''actually'' do so: damage and modifiers are not applied to subsequent targets.}}

==1.11==
The most important change 1.11 brought is this: You no longer have to level up your merc. When you hire a mercenary now, they will be within 5 levels of your character. They also keep up with your level much more easily now after you hire them.

When you hire mercs, their stats may appear incorrect on the hiring screen. However, once you actually hire them, their stats will get updated and will display correctly.

When 1.11 first came out, the ctc Valk on the 'Peace' runeword "worked" for mercs, but caused the game to crash. Blizzard disabled the mod for mercs afterwards.
==General Mercenary Facts==
===Items/Mods===
* The mod: Prevent Monster Heal does not work for mercenaries. It has no effect at all.
* Most other mods (Crushing Blow, Open Wounds, Chance to Cast on Striking, Faster Cast Rate, Faster Hit Recovery, Increased Attack Speed, etc.) do work for mercs. There are some other specific instances that I'll cover in later sections.
* Mercs can use Critical and Deadly Strike. Both effects will double only the physical damage of the attack.
* For questions about using the Delerium runeword on your merc, see the Delirium FAQ.
* Ethereal items will not lose durability when equipped on a mercenary.
* Equiping a mercenary with the mod "-x% to Enemy _____ Resistance" will help your merc's damage, but it will NOT help your character's damage.
* Medium and Heavy armors do slow down the movement speed of mercenaries.
===Levels===
* Mercs hired in normal difficulty have better stats than those hired in Nightmare, and those are both better than those hired in Hell. In 1.11, you should always hire your mercs in Normal, since they will always have better stats, the exception being the Nightmare Act 2 mercs, which have different auras than Normal A2 mercs. The level of your character when you hire them has no bearing on their stats, only the difficulty you hire them in matters.
* The highest level a merc can be is 98.
* When mercs levels up, their current life is set to their new base maximum life. So, if a merc is under life bonuses from Battle Orders, Oak Sage, or equipment, you will see thier life drop. Don't be alarmed when this happens, your merc isn't about to bite the dust.
===Skills===
* Mercs skills do synergize each other when applicable. As an example, an Act 3 Iron Wolf's Ice Blast will synergize its Glacial Spike.
* Related to the above, mercs are NOT affected by the charge synergy bug (bug removed in 1.11).
* Mercs will benefit from:
** +all skills
** +fire skills (when applicable - Fire Iron Wolf or Fire Arrow Rogue)
** +specific skills (if they already have the skills (e.g. an act 3 merc will benefit from an Ormus Robes' skill if he posseses that skill already, even though it says (Sorceress Only)))
** The A5 barbs will benefit from +Bash or +Stun on a barbarian helm. However, those helms shouldn't exist in 1.1x, but in very rare cases they can spawn.
*Mercs will not benefit from:
** +class skills (not even barbarian mercs with +all barbarian skills gear)
** +skilltabs
===Misc===
* Mercs only have Strength and Dexterity, so +Vitality and +Energy mods have no effect. They do have life (so +Life works), but not mana.
* Since mercs do not have mana, mana potions and Mana Burn will not work on them. If you try the shift + 1 method to feed your merc a mana pot, he/she will thank you, although you yourself will drink the potion. They are simply granted "infinite" mana to cast spells.
* "Act 5 mercs regenerate their health fully in 16.4 seconds, whereas all other mercs require 41 seconds." - Zath
* Poison can kill your merc, even if you are in town.
* You can use healing potions or rejuvination potions on your mercenary by selecting a potion and dropping it on their portrait in the top left corner of the screen. Another way to do this is to hold Shift and press 1,2,3, or 4 - which correspond to your belt slots. Yet another way is holding Shift and right-clicking on a potion in your belt.
* Similar to giving a merc a potion using the portrait: you can give your mercenary equipment via the portrait. If they are able to equip the item, it will work. If they are already wearing this type of item, it will be exchanged for the new one.
* If your merc is wearing either Gold Find or Magic Find gear, you will receive those respective bonuses to your drops when the merc makes a kill. Example, 100% MF on char, 125% MF on merc. If you make the kill, 100% MF is in effect. If the merc makes the kill, 225% MF is in effect.
* The price of resurrecting your merc is capped at 50000 gold.

==Hiring levels (1.10)==
This is a list of the merc levels you will have to pick from based on Act and Difficulty Level (Expansion Only). Note that you can't buy a merc whose level is higher than your own:
{| border="2"
|+ Possible levels at hiring
! !! Normal !! Nightmare !! Hell
|-
!Act 1
| 3-7 || 36-40 || 67-71
|-
!Act 2
| 9-13 || 43-47 || 75-79
|-
!Act 3
| 15-19 || 49-53 || 79-83
|-
!Act 5
| 28-32 || 58-62 || 80-84
|-
|}

==Damage Modifiers==
{| border="2"
|+ From [http://users.tkk.fi/~tgustafs/damagereduction.html Tommi]
! Attacking !! Modifier !! Notes
|-
| Players || 17% || (So, a mercenary attacking a player only does 17% of its normal damage)
|-
| Hirelings || 25%
|-
| Golems || 100% || (no modification)
|-
| Monsters || 100% || (no modification)
|-
| Minions* || 100% || (no modification)
|-
| Normal Act Boss || 50%
|-
| Nightmare Act Boss || 35%
|-
| Hell Act Boss || 25%
|-
|}
"*"A minion is any creature a player controls, except a hireling or a golem.

When defending, hirelings take 100% from all sources except other Hirelings, which is 25%.

==Survival Tips==
* You can use healing potions or rejuvination potions on your mercenary by selecting a potion and dropping it on their portrait in the top left corner of the screen. Another way to do this is to hold Shift and press 1,2,3, or 4 - which correspond to your belt slots. Yet another way is holding Shift and right-clicking on a potion in your belt.
* Put life leech on them! Give them a weapon with decent damage, coupled with life leech. Put Amn runes in their weapons. Use hats and armors with built in leech.
* Use a Wand of Lifetap on switch for really tough and/or unleechable monsters.
* Keep them close to your level and don't fight monsters that are too far above your level.

==Act 1 Rogue==
* It's "Rogue", not "Rouge".
* You can hire these from Kashya either 1) after completing the Blood Raven quest or 2) after reaching character level 8.
* Note, they are Rogues, not Amazons. As such, +Amazon skill items will not work and they cannot wield (Amazon-Only) bows.
* They can only equip bows. Crossbows are not allowed.
* Cast either Fire Arrow or Cold Arrow
* Cast Inner Sight
* The mods Fires Explosive Arrows or Bolts and Fires Magic Arrow are quirky. The Explosive arrows do not work. There is a graphical bug so that you see the explosion, but no damage is dealt and the Rogue does not get the Attack Rating bonus associated with the Exploding Arrow skill. Fires Magic Arrow does deliver magic damage, but the Rogue's still do not receive an AR bonus. Credit for the discovery goes to adeyke and brianc84. [http://www.theamazonbasin.com/d2/forums/index.php?showtopic=52992&hl=ranged Link].
* They can give you the Vigor aura via Harmony, Thorns via Edge, and Fanatacism via Faith.

===Equipment===
They tend to stay out of harm's way reasonably well, so life leech isn't mandotory, but a little bit certainly helps. Increased Attack Speed can help (check speed calculator). These mercs are good at activating Chance to Cast mods without being in the thick of the battle. Blinding, fleeing, amplify damage, etc.

==Act 2 Town Guard==
* Very popular because they share an aura with you and your party members.
* Can use Spear, Javelin, and Polearm class weapons, except not the Amazon-only spears. They won't ever throw the Javelins.
* Their Jab has 2 hits.
* Blessed Aim is mutually exclusive with the Amazon skill Penetrate.

===Equipment===
Get him a big damage polearm. Mods to look for are: Crushing Blow, life leech, +life, resistances, Faster Hit Recovery, Chance to Cast amp damage or decrepify, Slows Target (especially on Holy Freeze merc).

==Act 3 Iron Wolf==
* Do not have blocking animations. "This means they do not getting blocking check at all. The Shield will just be there for the non-blocking attributes such as defense and any other magical properties that it has such as resisitances, fast cast, skills, etc." - Ruvanal
* +Glacial Spike, +FireBall, etc. will help these mercs. The only places to get these are from Ormus' Robes or two pieces of the Trang's set. Note that the +Fireball bonus from Trang's will be capped at +3.
* Anything that is +sorceress skills, for example: +2 Fire Skills (Sorceress Only) will not work, but the +3 Fire Skills of Hexfire would.
* Items that lower enemy resistance (such as the Crescent Moon runeword, facets, etc.) will benefit these mercs.
* Can complete the Isenhart set (for whatever that's worth)

===Equipment===
You want +skills and Faster Cast Rate. Everything else is secondary because they tend to survive fairly well on their own unless you let them get swarmed. The Spirit runeword makes an excellent weapon for them. You would need +strength on your helm/armor to let them use a Spirit shield since the lowest strength requirement on a 4 socket shield is 156 on a Monarch (146 if ethereal). They top out at 153 str at level 98 and have 137 str at level 85, just to give you an idea.

==Act 5 Barbarian==
* These mercenaries possess the skills Stun and Bash
* These are the only mercenaries who can use class-specific items (barbarian helms)
* They have a 5% chance of doing critical hits, the other mercenaries do not
* They regenerate their health fully in 16.4 seconds
* These mercenaries can complete the Sazabi Set
* They do not have or benefit from +sword mastery such as on Bloodletter
* Act 5 mercenaries receive a 70% bonus to their poison resistance in all difficulties
* The Act 5 mercenary normal attack has 2 hits, similar to the A2 mercenary's Jab
* They will benefit from +Bash or +Stun on a barbarian helm. However, those helms shouldn't exist in 1.1x, but in very rare cases they can spawn

===Equipment===
They can wield one-handed and two-handed swords but they cannot dual-wield two one-handed swords. So, get them a big 2-handed sword. They do the listed damage for both 1 hand and 2 hand swords, so the 2 handers will almost always win out. Life leech, FHR, resistances, etc are also good. They're about the same as A2 mercenaries except for the weapon differences. Lawbringer has become somewhat popular because of the chance to cast Decrepify.

==What Merc for Build X?==
Well, there are far too many builds to list a merc for each one. In general, pick a mercenary that compliments you well. I'll make some general comments on mercs that might work well. Ultimately, it's usually a matter of personal preference. This list is based on my opinions/experiences and on what I've read here in the forums.

===Physical damage, melee fighter===
* You can pick a ranged merc that deals elemental damage (A1 or A3).
* A2 merc with an aura that helps you. Blessed Aim if you need AR, Might if you want more damage, Holy Freeze if you need some crowd control, Defiance if you want more defense.
* Don't forget A1 mercs can help your AR with Inner Sight.

===Elemental damage, melee fighter===
* Pick a ranged merc that deals damage of a different element.
* Pick a physical damage merc. A2 Might or A5 Barb.

===Caster characters===
* These characters usually want a tank. Any A2 or A5 merc will work.
* Holy Freeze is popular since it slows the monsters down (even cold immunes) and keeps them from running up to you and smacking you around.
* Defiance if you want him to survive well. Might is also a good contender since more damage = more leech.
* Barb merc. More aggressive than A2 mercs, and most of the standard auras don't help a caster much (meaning Might, Blessed Aim, etc.).
* Prayer/Insight combo. "Unlimited" mana and "double" healing from Prayer.
* If you are a sorceress, keep in mind that you can teleport to reposition your mercenary.

===Summoners===
* Usually Necromancers, but I suppose Druids can apply as well.
* The Necromancer Room's consensus seems to be: Thorns is good in NM or when you are fighting monsters that are above your level. Blessed Aim also gets a nod in NM to help with Skeleton Attack Rating versus higher level monsters. Might is better in Hell and when your level is at or above those of the monsters you are fighting.
* Ranged merc since the melee is covered by minions. This isn't terribly popular, since if you have lots of minions, you want to have an aura to share with them.
* With the new runewords, an Act 1 Rogue can now provide the Vigor (to help minions keep up when you are running) Thorns, and Fanaticism auras.
