I will most likely not find those high-end runes or WF by myself. So I'm hoping one of my friends will find those, or wait till I earn the trust on the trading forums here. I'm doing the grail while looking for those items, so I got alot to trade for!
Anyway, what do you thing about this setup? Anything I should replace? Got some suggestions?
Oh, and, I think I will use Act5 barb as merc with her. I just want a change from the Act2 merc ^^
What gear should him have for max damage and survivabilty?
I was thinking these:
Arreat's Face
&
Leviathan
&
The Grandfather (Another challange to find^^)
Cheers!
