- There is a model that exists already for dual axe barb fighting outside of act 5 town.
- Axes are thematic for frenzy.
- As a Frenzy barb myself - i still cant have might or fana. An axe wielding merc would allow fana.
Im really uninterested in non ladder so havent logged in since patch dropped. I really really really want my ladder frenzy barb to love his a5 merc - but im going to miss Might so much!
Axes on mercs works in theory and in practice. It is difficult to justify using an A5 merc as a Frenzy barb as is stands. I need a damage aura or i will be worse than everyone else! For balance, the axes merc cant use Lawbringer or any other sword for that matter.
At the same time - i love the new a5 frenzy merc. I absolutely applaud Blizzard for introducing it and consider it the best of all changes made. Good jerb!
