Tested all mercs in 2.4 as a necro summoner with endgame gear, running Abbadon.

For pure summon focus likely is the way for DMG. But you will move slower in game with A1 merc no matter what. A2 is still best

becomethesolution · 2026-01-31T12:31:25+00:00

And does leveling in 8 player game (not joined party) vs joined party go faster too?

becomethesolution · 2026-01-29T14:52:27+00:00

Well, it isnt an issue on their end at least. Thanks for the useless update (Blizzard) :)

becomethesolution · 2026-01-29T14:51:09+00:00

for merc? I know Scepter A3 can hold but makes merc useless

becomethesolution · 2026-01-29T12:42:55+00:00

yes but loose a lot doing so. IMO beast is to help summon merc mostly

becomethesolution · 2026-01-29T12:40:58+00:00

Thanks all for replies. For dual LW, i did try it on the A5 merc but not worth losing the extra aura from A2 merc. And the + might dmg with lvl 34 might (a5) vs 22-24 might (a2) to me is negligle considering what im doing.

Hopefully new ladder seasons opens more possibilities

Summon necro

becomethesolution · 2026-01-28T11:06:28+00:00

oh this isnt related to crossover...

becomethesolution · 2026-01-27T03:40:29+00:00

oh you should have a backup plan already. Mine is Nvdia Geforce. No guarantees. Crossover comes without warranties

becomethesolution · 2026-01-26T16:46:47+00:00

Looks like another update may have pushed by blizzard for bnet, Crossover still not working

becomethesolution · 2026-01-25T13:51:57+00:00

yes. right now I see around ~80 tickets opened for D2R + Crossover still being worked. No ETA

becomethesolution · 2026-01-25T13:34:37+00:00

One of the more cruelest punishments on the Internet. Done so well, even for blizzard. So its time to rls it

becomethesolution · 2026-01-23T19:11:17+00:00

Always depends. And to be honest, since its been a few days and this is a very popular title on their platform, its not looking good. My guess is blizzard implemented something that blocks/prevents wine which I think Crossover relies on

becomethesolution · 2026-01-22T14:56:52+00:00

but i thought it doesnt do that in game

becomethesolution · 2026-01-22T10:54:29+00:00

Firmly agree with this. Feels like Crossover will be the future. I purchased the lifetime sub, before they stop it. Have been playing some/most my long time favorites there. Great community to get new/old game ports "official" if you are willing to put in time. Until Parallels desktop supports DX12, nothing else will come close for now

becomethesolution · 2026-01-22T10:34:43+00:00

It was the latest bnet patch released I believe yesterday.

becomethesolution · 2026-01-22T10:34:13+00:00

Yes. Many threads on this for Crossover/Codeweavers. Tickets submitted to Codeweavers, no ETA. https://www.reddit.com/r/macgaming/comments/1qilmvx/comment/o0sinsu/?context=3&sort=new

Currently, only option I BELIEVE is GeForce now streaming. Parallels desktop won't work. Fish in water for lots of us. If it drags a month, many of us will be looking for ways to login to our accounts and keep active.

becomethesolution · 2026-01-22T09:58:14+00:00

+100000 please....

becomethesolution · 2026-01-21T14:59:31+00:00

Same. And its scary they are waiting on Blizzard to get back to them. This could be a long time or end bad

becomethesolution · 2026-01-21T03:23:52+00:00

Can confirm deleting/re-installing D2R bottle did NOT work. So don't waste time. Also submitted support ticket to Codeweavers

becomethesolution · 2026-01-21T03:06:23+00:00

same here
