What you forgot to mention is that this runeword works really well with a fireclaw druid. You can use eth/noneth version of the item (polearms have sick durability) and due to the low price just rebuild it ever so often. If your ias breakpoints r high enough it wins over a 6*sheal'ed PB due to the physical dmg you deal, and also enables a more diverse build on the skill AND itemside If u're ballsy, u could also use this item on an enchant sorc. Looks insane and hits like a truck
Tbh that -fire res would make the enchant fire damage pop that much harder. Very interesting and underrated runeword. Virtually every guide I've come across will tell you to get an Act II merc and give them an Insight polearm. It's good to see alternatives.
Another cheap alternative too, most of the other polearms require at least one rare rune. This one doesn't really have any runes I would consider rare. Although insight is still cheaper.
Insight is only really useful for Mana heavy characters, I don't bother with insight on most of my Melee builds because I steal enough mana per hit that it's not necessary. That's when I use items like this on my merc instead.
@@R0GU351GN4L plus with melee builds you can usually build a healthy amount of damage taken goes to mana. So that even if you're in a situation where you're not getting any Mana steal you can still get mana back. I used to have night smoke belt on just about every melee character for the 50% damage taken goes to mana.
Just found the channel. It popped up in the feed. I just made this runeword the other night. I found an E-Cryptic doing cows and at first was way bummed it was 5 socket and not 4 as I like to make insights. I had quite a few KO’s and FAL’s just like the vid said lol. I went ahead and made it and it turned out really well. I really like the fact my merc can use at 59. So this one will be great earlier on with big damage.
Hi Ginger G.M. Just last week I tried doing Obedience for my mercenary because I wanted a cheap runic word to put in the base I had just found! A nice ethereal man catcher ... sad story as you know ... But I comforted myself by watching some videos of Diablo 2 carbot, (which if you don't know it really makes everyone who has played D2 die of laughter and I highly recommend it) and of the fact that I just lost a Ko and a Fal. The man catcher is now a warning on the runes page in the inventory.
@@jonsnow8550 Yes, I can imagine it! I hear the screams followed by the din of the monitor breaking through the window and crashing into the courtyard ... I've been playing for a year and I don't even know what a jha or a ber looks like ...
I have my merc run obedience in a thresher with a treachery and with my smiters fanat aura he hits the cap of 5 frames and 60 total fhr as well. He shrugs off any damage quickly and starts WAILING on monsters. He does more damage to the ubers than I do and genuinely helps my clear speed. The helm is a 8% life leach 20 Dr gaze as well. So with fade he can tank uber meph with me and shrug off amp damage.
@@jammyjamz89 andies WAY more expensive especially early ladder. Gaze is like 1/10th the trading price and gives him a ton of DR vs the amp damage vs lilith Andies with 10% life leach would be good alterternative though for sure
@@youcan2657 He can take up to three when he's not cursed I think that's all i can ask versus those enemies.. He's there for CI Ghoul lords and Mage knights mostly.
I know everybody wants Infinity but this looks like the next best thing for a summoning necromancer that has a life outside of D2. With the CB you can melt bosses and the insane damage maybe paired with Treachery should get you to start corpse exploding really quickly unless the corpse shatters. I dunno but I take the shatter chance for the boss killing power it provides. I'd just make an iron golem out of the Insight because life without Insight is tough on a necro.
I have both infinity and Obedience. This is the best weapon you can get before an infinity. And even then many will use this for ubers. I use an iron golem for Insight. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a merc using Obedience.
@@bonbonflippers4298 you would only need infinity for the conviction aura, other wise obedience is superior in terms of dps and survivability on the merc himself. I'm sure infinity is nice on summon necro with all the mages though, I've never went deep into a summoner myself.
I have one, but switch back to insight, after noticing huge Mana lost. How is with your build, orb/firewall is where I want to be for end game mf sorc?
My fireball \ orb sorcerer bought herself an unusual mercenary. Act 2 difficulty normal defensive mercenary, with delirium as helmet, stone as armor (no money for fortitude) and an amn socket woestave (Upgraded), is unexpectedly effective, slows down the boss a lot, spams a ton of curses and debuffs on minions, and when I say a ton I mean that most of the time the monsters run away and fight each other, bleeding, blinded, slowed down, it's a delirium). Can tank almost anything and with open wounds it kills anything that is immune to fire and cold even if it has stone skin, but it does little damage, so it is slow to do so. Doing damage is my job anyway ...
@@noslee2667 Firewall synergizes with warmth, which increases your mana regen anyway. So the loss is not as noticeable as you'd think. I farm hell teleporting around with no difficulty. I do use mana potions occasionally to offset the loss in mana regen. But it's not a big deal!
Increasing the Size of your mana pool increases the effectiveness of Warmths Regen. I feel like a lot of people don't realize this. If your mana pool is large enough you will never have any issues with mana with max warmth.
Obedience was a game changer for my Act II Merc. I was going through the game with my Bowazon, and my merc was using Spire of Honor. When I got near the end of Nightmare mode it wasn't cutting it anymore, so I upped it to Elite class and it helped somewhat, but once I got into Hell he just wasn't able to keep up. I found a Elite Thresher and socketed it, and used my last Ko rune and he is almost unstoppable now. The only thing that he can't fight are physical immunes, so I have to come to his rescue then. Also, I don't know about you guys, but I've been on the search for more Ko runes and they are hard to find, at least for me.
I love your videos GGM, you're just a treat to listen to talk about this game I love so much. Thanks for being an incredible teacher, and nay nay is just too cute!
This one makes Hell Act 4 and 5 possible 4 my HC solo Chars, yeah one must chuck in all thouse Manapots cuz the lack of Meditation but the Dmg is real on this one, and it IS realy easy to build. It is harder to find a decent Base-Weapon than the Runes if you can handle Hell Countess
The biggest issue here is that demon limb exists - with a 23 cast when you want enchant, it allowe merc to use better weapons like eth ariocs needle or eth hone sudan - both of which can also be socketed to allow for much more customization.
I really gotta give you credit for mentioning demon limb, as it's an amazing item for prebuffing. However I am slightly stunned by ur mention of ariocs and hone. Those 2 items are among the worst items created for this game and I am unsure, why you would mention them. Perhaps I had some oversight with them, so if you could kindly elaborate, I'd be more than thrilled to get some more insight :)
@@youcan2657 I don't think I mentioned ariocs needle . But hone Sudan yari is a 3 socket polearms with 45% crushing blow. There is really nothing more to say about it. You customize it to your needs. Shael to attack faster, amn for life steal, ect. And the 45% CB goes to work. You can pair it with a duress and a gface to cap off CB entirely and make your Merc into a CB spammer.
I think the other guys message is semi invisible. I can see what you cannot, with milky vision and eyes that rot, come and see what you shall find, cast down into the halls of the blind.
I'm a classic player who made the jump to LOD because blizzard killed classic. I'm pretty used to having to mana pot once in awhile and with the new orb/wall sorc meta i have a good amount of warmth on my sorc. So I have been using this as a alternative to insight and I like it a lot, way more powerful weapon. The level requirements are lower too so you can slap it on a lvl 55 merc no problem
It's a pretty powerful item, and yeah a orb wall sorc should have no issues with mana. Remember mana regeneration works better then larger your mana pool is.
This is good for bowazon (frostmaiden) as you need CB, pair with andy and treachery and that should solve issue of life leech and attack speed. Mercenary with Might aura gg
An amazing runeword for a SSF playthrough. This plus treachery can transform your mercenary from a walking liability that needs constant babysitting into a beast capable of tanking the majority of the game. All for basically ko + lem + fal.
Agreed, I'm playing HC Druid and when I built one of these mid Nightmare it put the rest of the playthrough into easy mode. I've since found another Fal and Ko (it doesn't even need Lem! 😉) and will be looking for an elite base to upgrade again 😁
The insane damage + crushing blow on Obd might be just what I need for my fishymancer merc instead of Insight now that I have some good mana regen with my gear. Not sure about the frost damage tho, the shatter effect could be annoying. I'm willing to take the risk and will try it. I also have Reaper's Toll but it kinda loses some of its value on a necro so that's why I think Obd could be really good. Lemme know what you think. Thx for the great video as always.
I'm sorry for my IMHO, but I think ethiral tresher is better for obedience until criptic axe. Attack speed very important for including of crashing blow. Sorry for my bad English. Your videos very cool 👍. Good luck.
Well it really depends on what you have available to you. Obedience can be good in a cryptic axe as long as you're using treachery with it for the 45% ias
I run insight on my summoning necro, but I keep an ethereal obedience in my stash for baal, baal takes very long to kill as a summoning necro, the crushing blow on obedience makes it so much easier.
Doesn't take me that long to kill Baal on Hell with my Summon Necro. Maybe a minute or 2. When I first got to him it was difficult, but now I have 30+ in my summon skills I crush him pretty easy.
@@R0GU351GN4L Yeah, baal is not hard by any means, but like you said it does take a min or 2 to kill him with my old merc build ( insight+ duriel's shell + crown of thief), with my new build baal dies in less than 20 secs (G face + duress + eth obedience). The first 80% of his life just disappears so quickly because of the high crushing blow, then the skeletons will do the rest in no time.
It was apparently already on the File I loaded in to show off the runeword in single player. I had to remove the Indestructible effect because it is not supposed to be on this runeword. The Files I am working with are quite old and unfortunately sometimes they are not accurately being represented. Which Is why you will always see me differ to the website for more precise details.
I'm really enjoying your runeword vids. They are very informative. There was a small mistake in this one. 40% off of 1,000,000 is 400,000 which would leave 600.000. Keep bringing out these informative vids.
so crushing blow is always 25%. The 40% you are seeing is the chance to proc the effect, not the amount the effect procs. Crushing blow stacks up to 100% proc chance from multiple pieces of equipment but is always a set percentage based on the weapon and monster being used/hit. Melee weapons on a normal monster = 25% Melee weapons on a boss/elite/champion = 12.5% Melee weapon in pvp = 10% Ranged weapon on normal monster = 12.5% Ranged weapon on boss/elite/champ = 6.25% Ranged weapon in pvp = 5%
My act 2 merc on my strafe amazon was starting to struggle with his life steal now i'd gotten into hell (he was currently using a trashy slow speed halberd insight), found an ethereal mancatcher in the maggot den, cubed some sockets on it - was hoping for 4 just to upgrade the insight, but it rolled 5. Was curious what I could do with it and on googling, turns out obedience looks like a nice shout. Don't think I really need the insight mana regen aura anymore as a strafe zon, I might need to improve his lifesteal helm a bit - but this looks to be a massive upgrade :D
Yeah, he seemed pretty nuts - already had a treachery on him & a bulwark helm (which only rolled 4 life steal sadly) but he seems to be holding his own well currently. I'm surprised mancatcher is best though, I'd have assumed a thresher would have been preferential (iirc they have v fast speed?). I'm happy either way though, accidentally stumbling into a sick upgrade is an amusing treat to remember.
Would really like to use that. Too bad I mostly play on characters that are dependent on having Insight on the merc. Like sorc, fisting paladin. On the bowazon I've used Act 3 merc as he gives enchant now, which really helps with it's AR bonus, and general fire damage of Act 3 merc helps with physical immunes.
I know this Video is old, but if I wanted to use this on a Polearm Barb for WW, would I make this in a Cryptic Axe or a Giant thresher for the Attack Speed? Edit: I ask because I've read WW only works on the weapons UAS for the additional Frames
So 2.4.3 had huge changes to whirlwind, and it now uses off weapon ias. I have Also noticed whirlwind seems to work better with shorter ranged weapons. I would recommend a "Thresher" Check out my 2.4.3 video where I test out whirlwind 🌪️🌪️
The -requirements does not seem to work on mercenaries... I have an Obedience Thresher that I could put on the mercenary when he had enough for the stated requirements but it would be red and not actually work until he got high enough level to have enough stats to equip it as if it did not have the -requirements
This could be a very decent weapon for any character... if only the runeword wasn't for polearms only. Unless your wish to use polearms for your character of course.
Or maybe into a bow which can be useful for a ice Amazon (Freezing Arrow) so that she can deal with cold immunities without having to switch to different skill.
What class would this work best on? Hammerdin probably not causs they are so mana hungry and the insight is necessary. I made one obedience but doesn’t work well without insight... any advice?
Mana Regeneration works better with a larger mana pool. Most people have issues with mana Because their mana pool is tiny. If you build your mana pool a bit larger and add some Regen you will have less trouble. Also + to mana after each kill is effective if you kill quickly.
@@GGMentor how you gonna build a mana pool on a hammerdin though. I am using gears like most people uses besides sn engima. Hoto, mage fist, war travaler boots, shako etcc. Do i just Add more stats to energy? Besides is here any other class thag obedience is good for on their merc?
No Unfortunately, because Shapeshifting druids only gain Attack Speed from On Weapon Attack speed Bonuses and no other source this would be a very very slow druid weapon.
Druids are fast with two-handers, though. I made this in a Partizan for my Druid and it wrecks. Attack speed is just fine (maybe they patched it since the last comments here! 😅).

It takes some time but they will eventually bond with you with a bit of patience. They will beg at the cage door just like dogs for treats and to come out and play.
I've found two of each of these playing through HC to the end of Nightmare (with some time spent over-levelling in TZs). They're not too difficult to find, and in comparison to true high runes they're positively common. As far as bang for buck goes, this runeword is right up there.

I'm really enjoying your runeword vids. They are very informative. There was a small mistake in this one. 40% off of 1,000,000 is 400,000 which would leave 600.000. Keep bringing out these informative vids.
so crushing blow is always 25%. The 40% you are seeing is the chance to proc the effect, not the amount the effect procs.
Crushing blow stacks up to 100% proc chance from multiple pieces of equipment but is always a set percentage based on the weapon and monster being used/hit.
Melee weapons on a normal monster = 25%
Melee weapons on a boss/elite/champion = 12.5%
Melee weapon in pvp = 10%
Ranged weapon on normal monster = 12.5%
Ranged weapon on boss/elite/champ = 6.25%
Ranged weapon in pvp = 5%
@@GGMentor Of course you are right. It was late and I brain farted.
My act 2 merc on my strafe amazon was starting to struggle with his life steal now i'd gotten into hell (he was currently using a trashy slow speed halberd insight), found an ethereal mancatcher in the maggot den, cubed some sockets on it - was hoping for 4 just to upgrade the insight, but it rolled 5. Was curious what I could do with it and on googling, turns out obedience looks like a nice shout. Don't think I really need the insight mana regen aura anymore as a strafe zon, I might need to improve his lifesteal helm a bit - but this looks to be a massive upgrade :D
Obedience Mancatcher is literally the best weapon for an act 2 merc. It turns them into beast mode.
Yeah, he seemed pretty nuts - already had a treachery on him & a bulwark helm (which only rolled 4 life steal sadly) but he seems to be holding his own well currently. I'm surprised mancatcher is best though, I'd have assumed a thresher would have been preferential (iirc they have v fast speed?). I'm happy either way though, accidentally stumbling into a sick upgrade is an amusing treat to remember.
Who is mr . Nini 😊❤️ ? Hi gin . Thank for information about Obedo 🙋🏼♂️
I kind of wish they would also allow this to be made in at least swords
Would really like to use that. Too bad I mostly play on characters that are dependent on having Insight on the merc. Like sorc, fisting paladin.
On the bowazon I've used Act 3 merc as he gives enchant now, which really helps with it's AR bonus, and general fire damage of Act 3 merc helps with physical immunes.
Love your pocket buddy
haha yeah Mr. Nimoy is a great little buddy he hangs out with me for hours. Chinchillas are great pets.
I know this Video is old, but if I wanted to use this on a Polearm Barb for WW, would I make this in a Cryptic Axe or a Giant thresher for the Attack Speed?
Edit: I ask because I've read WW only works on the weapons UAS for the additional Frames
So 2.4.3 had huge changes to whirlwind, and it now uses off weapon ias.
I have Also noticed whirlwind seems to work better with shorter ranged weapons.
I would recommend a "Thresher"
Check out my 2.4.3 video where I test out whirlwind 🌪️🌪️
Just waiting to find a 5os eth polearm. Have the runes need the base. Made a eth insight already. Wanting to try this out though.
It's a pretty sweet rune word definitely worth grabbing
i use this plus duress (also cheap) to get through hell ancients, as a poorly geared amazon
I have a really good 5 socket polearm waiting for a Fal rune.
i like so much your pet very very cuty 😍😁
His Name is Mr. NiNi and you can see more of him here ua-cam.com/play/PLMSHEYBEG_OMch3hSPo1zUiuuqgBNNu1-.html
The -requirements does not seem to work on mercenaries... I have an Obedience Thresher that I could put on the mercenary when he had enough for the stated requirements but it would be red and not actually work until he got high enough level to have enough stats to equip it as if it did not have the -requirements
Interesting 🤔
This could be a very decent weapon for any character... if only the runeword wasn't for polearms only. Unless your wish to use polearms for your character of course.
I wish you could at least make it in a spear would be a good amazon weapon.
Or maybe into a bow which can be useful for a ice Amazon (Freezing Arrow) so that she can deal with cold immunities without having to switch to different skill.
Is this only for polearms?
there are several websites that list it for polearms, meley weapons
so originally it was only polearms, later in D2R specifically they opened it up to spears as well.
@@GGMentor oh thank you so much that makes sence
was about to waste a lot of runes for nothing lol
I guess going to save up for Etherial Oath
What class would this work best on? Hammerdin probably not causs they are so mana hungry and the insight is necessary. I made one obedience but doesn’t work well without insight... any advice?
Mana Regeneration works better with a larger mana pool.
Most people have issues with mana Because their mana pool is tiny.
If you build your mana pool a bit larger and add some Regen you will have less trouble.
Also + to mana after each kill is effective if you kill quickly.
@@GGMentor how you gonna build a mana pool on a hammerdin though. I am using gears like most people uses besides sn engima. Hoto, mage fist, war travaler boots, shako etcc. Do i just Add more stats to energy? Besides is here any other class thag obedience is good for on their merc?
@@JohnT2088 silk weave boots, magefists gloves, soj if you can get one, frostburns, ect.
Even just a nice rare ring an have 80+ mana on it.
Watching for Mr Nini
Hah! 10:05
Mr Ginger, you should get Mr Nini a female ms Nini
Good afternoon, there is Amazon spear in the recipe. I welded and nothing happened. what's the catch?
if my necro iron golem wear a obeissance ? my skeletons will have enchant? thank you :)
No just the golem
this useful for main weapon of fire ball sorc?
Would this assist with a fire druid? Like a dweb does for poison Necro?
yes as long as you are wearing it
@@GGMentor I guess the weigh up is, is plus 5 skills better than - 25 res. Is there a formula you know of? Or is equivalent to 25% damage?
@@foss2660 in normal and nightmare probably not but in hell the negative resistance might be better by a bit
@@GGMentor cool. I'll give it a try when I find a 5 socket polearm! I'll let you know my thoughts
Wouldn’t this be a great option for shapshifting druids?
No Unfortunately, because Shapeshifting druids only gain Attack Speed from On Weapon Attack speed Bonuses and no other source this would be a very very slow druid weapon.
Druids are fast with two-handers, though. I made this in a Partizan for my Druid and it wrecks. Attack speed is just fine (maybe they patched it since the last comments here! 😅).
Вообще не понял, о чём парень говорил, но рунворд безусловно отличный. В хорошей эфирной базе с трешери, он нарезает ещё бодрее, чем рипер толл. И при этом ничего почти не стоит. Инсайт сильно хуже.
wtf there was randomly a rabbit or smth comming out of his jacket
Chinchilla =}
@@GGMentor My somewhat addled brain: "That's a weird-looking cat."
hahahah Mr Nini so funnyyyy tickling you
what is the best base for obedience?
Giant thresher or cryptic axe.
But be aware giant thrashers only drop in lvl 85+ zones it's a TV class 87 item.
@@GGMentor oh i havean ethereal giant thresher but it rolled 6slots on the cube 😥
@@manuelcornelio4348 ethereal 4 socket giant threshers are rarer than high runes.
if u are annoyed and do chaos runs as blizz sorc eth tresher obedience = merc 1 shotting mages.
Was he talking about his Johnson at the start of the video? I’m confused

@@moonboy5851 they probably do have em in Australia.
@@GGMentor they’re not allowed. We can’t have hamsters either :( damn it.
@@moonboy5851 ecological disaster stuff right?
Except chinchillas Don't breed like mice and there is no risk of a plague.
They also thrive in cold environments so they wouldn't do well in Australia anyway. Sounds like poor decision making
Will this work in a Mancatcher?
Yes it was added in 2.4
"fal runes are not very rare" meanwhile I've found my very first fal rune only last year, after 20 years playing LoD
I put it on an E giant T, for My merc but i don't know if that -25% fire res count for the damage Of My fire druid
it doesnt, only helps the merc
They should allow this runeword be available to bow.
Last wish runeword please
I have it coming up on the editing block expect to see it probably some time tomorrow
@@GGMentor tnx
What animal is that?
I believe that's a Chinchilla, it's super adorable!
@@Draconix6 Correct
Correct on both counts, It is a Chinchilla, and it is Super Adorable.
@@GGMentor it truly is adorable. Is it easy to care for?
@@4time2waste yes they are extremely easy to care for in my opinion.
The poop is little hard rocks you can vaccume up they don't pee much being desert animals.
You get a nice big cage for them I recommend two so they can have a friend. Also a big wheel so they can get excerise.
It takes some time but they will eventually bond with you with a bit of patience.
They will beg at the cage door just like dogs for treats and to come out and play.
Please stop only talking to endgame hell players. For a nightmare player these runes are not available in abundance and therefore aren't cheap
I've found two of each of these playing through HC to the end of Nightmare (with some time spent over-levelling in TZs). They're not too difficult to find, and in comparison to true high runes they're positively common.
As far as bang for buck goes, this runeword is right up there.
LOL
Hey brother whats your Twitter? So i can bug you with questions lol

On wowhead.com obedience says it can be made in melee weapons so can you put it in one handers now?
Polearms only in Diablo 2, Polearms + Spears now in Diablo II Resurrected as of Patch 2.4
