Act 2 merc - Range and IAS questions
As the title says, I have two questions about the Act 2 mercenary. My search for answers has left me with inconclusive results and complicated formulas. I was hoping someone in the D2 community would be kind enough to give me a simple answer.
First question, does a polearm's Range have any effect on a mercenary? In other words, for example, would a giant thresher with a range of 5 allow the merc to hit targets further away as opposed to him using a colossus voulge, which has a range of 3?
Second question is about IAS breakpoints on my mercenary, I'd like to give you a specific example. Currently, my mercenary is using a ethereal giant thresher socketed with "Insight", andy's visage and a plain archon plate fort. So.. by default I have 20% IAS (from andy's). If I socket my Andy's helm with a 15% IAS/30% fire resist jewel, would that allow my merc to hit the next IAS breakpoint? Yes or no?
Thanks in advance, I love this game and for the most part I love the community (except the partied barb/druid i met in a pub duel game last night, jumping and nk'ing ppl saying "gd, remake your garbage, etc., those ppl can go to hell).
