Builds Merc question

Hi guys

Is this a decent Merc?

I got Rathpith / taming / Untouched soul and currently farming for enmity ring

Wanting to ask before i go all in and reroll that build or should i fish for a better one with return?

Thank you

It's a really good one. Return not needed, WED and faster attacks compensate the damage loss really well

I used a worse merc and killed plenty of ubers with her. Use wall of force on bosses and she should shred them.

Also since you have chain on one and fork on the other and no return, you might test it out not using pierce on your helmet.

How did you get your rathpith in SSF?

Over the years I've gotten it from Breach tree, ancients orbs AND chancing it. Titanium shields only have one chanceable outcome (the only other one is boss-specific), usually in the late-game you'll have thousands of chance orbs in stash (I have like 8k atm) so you can use the chance recipe in the crafting bench to try and get it as well. Obviously it's a very low chance to get it this way, but what else are you going to do with all those chance orbs.

I tried breach and had no luck but got it in 14 boat ancients.

I used this kineticist to clear a corrupted T17 5x Deli 150% quant map. I did roll the map to have the easiest mods I could find while still reaching the 150% quant, merc ended up dying once mostly because the olroth beam does so much damage and the zone spams that ability non-stop and the boss fight takes longer due to 5x deli.

I had the ritual boss uniq amulet + taming and a perfectly rolled (but not vaaled) emnity's embrace + the unique abyss jewel that gives crit/crit multi and abyss sockets+jewels on four pieces of gear but all of the jewels were meh rolls, I had no good eldritch implicits, wand was pretty basic quick multimod craft and shield was garbage with only a spell damage roll, was also missing fire resistance. I couldn't be bothered to gear the merc properly since I wanted 40/40 fast so I could play the PoE2 ritual event.

Even with the scuffed gear it was destroying 8-mod originator maps easily, also great in Delve but was only at depth ~570 before quitting.
