Messerschmidt's Reaver in the Pits and Carrion Wind in Act5 on the Arreat Plateau are the one that comes to mind, both were grailers. A shadow skiller of Dexterity in Act 2 Hell

52 FHR, 8 frame recovery
0 FBR, do not know what block rate he uses, he is max vita anyway.
165 MF, 301 MF with Merc Kill
Gameplay :
I leveled him in the Hell Pits, the Hole, and place other place under the Cold Plans, generally anywhere dark on /p5 and /p7. He then made a sprint through Hell on /p1 and /p3 for Bosses to Pat him. He is a decent killer of non posion immunes, would be significiently better with the one important item missing, DWeb, and a few more + skills would not hurt. Also while lvling I combined the that process with some MF as well.
I enjoyed the FRW and mobility, big mana pool and fast mana regeneration the Trang's set combined with Marrowwalk, it like playing a Sorc with lvl 6 Warmth. Generally I used the mobility by spamming the CG as the Decoy at the edge of the screen then motored in behind the CG, if monsters where attracted to the CG, I would to LR, PN, Attract, PN rinse and repeat. If the merc caught up eventually, I would make LR was only, one more Nova, Amp and finish with a CE when bodies were available.
In fact I was charged near the front line a bit, I was reckless with him, but with the 25%DR, 75 Resall and 1.1K life he isn't fragile. The skeles are a little fragile without the pts into Skeleton mastery, although they are getting better now.
The merc did not require DR, with the crowd control curses and other summons he was rarely targeted, leeched back what damage he took or died quickly if picked on, as usual (not very often though).
I made use of Firewall with the summon build for Poison immunes, which was simple to aim, then and polished them off with CE. Also I did not use the cheese Marrowwalk bug for bone armour.
His only draw back was the use of the Vampire breakpoints for FHR and FCR means he is slow, This can be a problem in deadly situations eg with Cursed Fanaticism monsters around and getting the Attract or DV curse casted fast helped.The FHR bp seemed acceptable to get away from dangerous situations combined with FRW. I will look for 20 extra FCR elsewhere to hit a 16 frame cast which should be attainable.
I like this char due to the speed and numerous hotkeys which make this an active build, much more a Fishymancer CE chain spams. This Poison/Summoner char is extremely viable HC selection at lower players settings. However for a more sturdy setup, I would a few extra pts in skeleton mastery and take a few from a posion synergy. I should not have died once and I died in some stupid ways not paying attention. I have a few NDEs in dangerous areas but it hepled me to contentrate on the game.
I will switch the Merc weapon's because A Needle is not a good choice for this char because its poison damage cancels my Poison and with ITD that happened frequently, but with MF setup he cant wield weapons heavier than STR 193 and I had no other Elite Spear or Polearm except Reaper's Toll which, generally, is another bad choice for a Necro's merc. Bonehew ready with the merc when he is old enough although a Tomb Reaver would complete the MF theme nicely. He could do with FRW LL circlet to keep up the pace.
His Future, he will replace my Fishymancer as a general MFer in areas once the Fishy hits 95. He has great versitility , he could run cows, Pits and many areas, and rush other chars. I think he could run Baal and WSK with a merc weapon change to add CB and DWeb for the char, but not at /p8 required to hit 99.
Next : I have a Blizzballer coming along in her 30s, a Javazon at 17 then some other builds below 10. I several ideas just not time to play them all with MFing and lvling the Fishy, but something that is NOT a Necro!
