Players wanting a Frenzy mercenary with Cleansing alongside Grief’s damage.
4 finished items are included in the fixed quantities shown. The listed bases and roll ranges apply; perfect rolls, extra sockets, jewels, runes and socketing services are not included.
Andariel's Visage requires level 83 and has -30% fire resistance. A socket, Ral rune and jewel are not included; check final fire resistance and all item stats. Hire the dual-wield Frenzy mercenary. The ethereal Cryptic Sword is a finished Plague, not an Assassin claw.
This is equipment only. Hire the correct Act 5 mercenary in your game. Check every item’s level, Strength and Dexterity requirements and the mercenary’s final resistances. Life leech helps only with physical attacks against enemies that can be leeched; spell damage does not return life through leech.
Is Lower Resist always active?
No. Plague triggers Lower Resist through a chance when the mercenary is struck. Its Cleansing aura is separate; do not buy it expecting permanent Lower Resist coverage.
