Treachery does more raw damage! Believe in math!Īnd like I mentioned in my previous comment, if your Merc gets decrep casted on it…Fade will resolve it nearly 80% more quickly and therefore means your Merc can attack normally more often than a merc with a Fort! That is a HUGE difference in being able to deal damage and life leach. If you don’t believe me, look up Lightman’s “treachery vs fortitude” thread. It also makes for a better shell for the mercenary to be a stronger tank.Īnd you don’t think 45% increase attack speed does the same thing? More hits don’t net you more life leach? Come on dude Fort is overrated, plain and simple. In the eventuality of killing a mob, Treachery kills faster. In ~80% of all cases when raw damage is applied, and better in ALL cases in which CB is applied.

I have used Treachery on all my mercs ever since the runeword came out back in 1.11. This Rune Word is intended for the Assassin, though any class may equip it.Level 15 Fade from Treachery gives 60 to all res, 15% damage reduction, 79% curse length reduction > up to 30 all res from Fort 5% Chance To Cast Level 15 Fade When StruckĢ5% Chance To Cast Level 15 Venom On Striking
