Shock or Ice pal. What would you do?

[Assur]

If a merc has HF, it won't add any cold damage to the character's attack.  If you have Doom, you only get a slvl 12 HF, which is much lower than you'd have with actual point investments and +skills gear.

Hi

I agree with you that a Pala with a decent equipment and synergies outclasses a HF-Merc any day of the week. My point is that a pure Shocktrooper does even more damage and the HF-Merc is ideal for crowdcontrol and dealing with PILI monsters, and since the HF-Merc can be hired, he is so much easier to get than Doom :D , and no item or merc can give you Holy Shock a Shocktrooper combined with a HF-Merc is an ideal combination.

@Baajikill Skewer of Krinitz is nice but have you ever tried a Shocktrooper in Punching Pala mode? B)

good karma
