is the unique thresher any good?

[iceman887]

i found the unique thresher and i was wondering is it suppose to be good? i am on east ladder sc and i was also wondering if i should replace it for my mercs 2 amn regular bonehew?

[kockblocker1]

Nope. I vote to keep the bonehew. BTW thats quite a merc you got there if he can use a bonehew without any HEL or -15% req jewel in it.

[HandOfHeaven]

Stick with your bonehew. Has decent life leech with the amn runes, and the chance to cast bonespear along with the great range of damage. Keep the bonehew, it has a greater minimum damage and the max could be almost 600 (almost perfect).

Keep Bonehew

[iceman887]

well lol i let the merc use gris armor with a perf amthesyest thing in it and i was thinking this about the reaper's toll, it has 13% steal life already right? so if i socket it and add amn, it will have more life steal than the 2 amn bonehew and it has ignore target defense AND 33% deadly strike, so it always hits and does double damage sometimes and it might not die as much right? if it always hits and steals life a lot, also anyone know if the thresher might be worth something and what should i socket my gris armor with on my merc?

A giant thresher or a regualr thresher??

[Vollstrecker]

I think it's a regular Thresher. I don't think they made another unique Giant Thresher.

[!King_Amazon!]

He's talking about the regular thresher(I think it's called like the reapers toll.)

[kockblocker1]

Oops.. My bad. It is Reaper's Toll. I thought you were refering to a Stormspire which is a unique Giant Thresher. In that case the only reason to keep the bonehew over the Reaper's is if your are a Necro or you are another character using a curse (like a pally using Dracs). You shouldn't even need to waste a socket quest on the reaper's. The life leach it comes with should be sufficent. When the decrep curse hits then your merc ends up hitting them alot more than they hit him (usually). I would dump the Griz armor in favor of a Shaftstop or an Up'ed Shaftstop.

[iceman887]

ok so u say switch to reaper toll and switch to shaftstop? btw for the helm im using tal mask, man kockblocker i wish u had aim(aol instant messanger), lol im always in need to ask questions and the only one that i ask is vollstrecker cuz he got aim and knows a lot too

[kockblocker1]

You can get at me through AIM with kockblocker3. I live in Hawaii though so most times I am at work while you people are on, then when I get on everyone is sleeping.

[blckshdwdragon]

i like reapers toll better for is 33% chance to cast decrypt and its MUCH faster than bonehew, other than that they are both good merc wepons but i favor reapers better

An Eth Bonehew with 2x 40/15 ias would smite pretty hard... ;)

That's more than what most people would spend on their merc though. I'd likely just go with Reaper's Toll.

I agree. That bonehew would be worth more than a doom criptic axe.
