Yeah, putting the Touch of Lady Gray chance for negative damage proc on the Tier 1 pet is kind of helpful too. It's nice to see a reasonably big number pop up every now and again (compared to what you normally see).

Thanks for advice about the binds. The stupid medic insists that he is a Brute. Despite the numerous times he faceplants.

I've had a lot of fun doing /Thermal with the shields. Merks all have lethal defense of about 26%, so you add the shield with some enhancements, and Sovereign Right +10% Resistance, and you can get them pretty close to 50% resistance full time.

Won't help much against exotic damage though, unfortunately.

My main is Merc/TA, while 20's are a rough, if you stick it out, you'll love the synergy that the set offers, while you wont be high on the damage list compared to other MM's, with the great debuffing abilities of TA, you'll be doing ok and able to manage quite well.

To be honest, I dont know why everyone is skipping over flash arrow until later.... toss in two -to hit debuffs, and it makes your mercs that much harder to be hit, I took the 1st chance I could.

My attack chain always starts out with my flash arrow, I LOVE IT
Glue arrow, acid and poison, are my primary arrows, I toss out a disruptor/oil/emc arrows as needed depending on the suituation at hand

To be honest, I took every arrow, as I find they all have their uses, as well as aid other, 3 slotted with +heal, and you can heal any of your silly pets.
