I prefer summon skeleton, more reliable and just kind of boxes him. | ||

With 6 endurance charges, 2k health, fast attack speed and a LGoH gem, I found I could just facetank him - only backing off periodically when he does his cone attack. I'm referring to plain old Merciless, though, not doing maps yet. My gear is bad, but if you don't have a lot of life nodes YMMV. | ||

I lost my level 57 Ele Cleave Templar to Merciless Brutus last weekend by using Decoy. He ignored and I think he desynced on me and 2 shot me. My new toon is a Lightning Cleave Marauder, but I'm still Ground Slam/Heavy Strike spec until level 55-60. My plan for Brutus is Enfeeble and Skeleton Totem. I did this for Cruel Brutus and Vaal and both bosses were a complete joke (well, I did Temp Chains on Vaal, but yeah). Not sure if I should Temp Chains Brutus instead of Enfeeble. I just hope I can find a Granite before Merciless. Either way, I'm farming Ledge until I hit DR. | ||

I just finished farming ledge to 59 (I think thats the end of full XP) last night on my Heavy Strike/Ground Slam marauder and now I have to kill brutus so Skele totem + enfeeble is indeed the plan.

I've been leveling a witch and a marauder (50 and 54, respectively) and I sorta got stonewalled at different points in Act 3 Cruel. I got two shotted by desyncing Kole with 1.9k hp + 50% damage reduction (this is after 3 endurance charges, molten shell, and determination) + 120 hp/sec regen. I bypassed him, but I end up dying every time I make a single mistake. Even building tanky I get owned almost instantly. My ele witch got stuck at the entrance to warehouse sewers, where a rare undying mob with flicker strike + discharge + life regen + extra damage + elemental resists 3 shotted me with flicker strike alone lmao how the hell do I counter that in the tight spaces of the sewers...I got molten shell on my witch for that reason alone actually. | ||

the full XP range is 3 + (your level divided by 16 rounded down) levels. So, Merciless ledge is level 53. That means that at level 47 you would not get full XP in ledge, but you gain full XP from 48 all the way up to 59. After that you stop gaining full XP again. It isn't usually a big deal until merciless when you need to pause progression to farm semi-often (depending on how you play). PS: press TAB to see the level of your current zone. PPS: Discharge deals elemental damage. What were your elemental resists? | ||

You can also viper strike, although I doubt you have one of those leveled. If you intend to melee him then skele totem will give him plenty of targets to make it easier to dodge his shockwaves. Granite flask (you should have an iron skin by now I imagine) before you get hit will ensure survival as well. Decoy totem post 10 patch is just disappointing. Wouldn't bother with it unless you're using it to glitch mobs in certain places. | ||

How many times does 16 evenly divide into the area's level? It'd be 3 for Ledge. Adding 3 to that, you get 6. Add 6 to Ledge's level, and that sum is your highest level with full EXP. One level above that, and you receive 90%, so you can feasibly farm until 1-2 levels above "max" in a zone, so you can technically farm until 60, I believe, without a DR. 61 if you don't mind the 10% loss. | ||

The formula is based on the player level, not the area level. There is also a separate formula to calculate how much experience you lose by being over. ((PlayerLevel +5)^1.5) / ((PlayerLevel+5+(EffectiveDifference^2.5))^1.5) PlayerLevel is the player's level EffectiveDifference is the number of levels beyond the full exp range. So a level 60 character at ledge would have an effective difference of one. ((60+5)^1.5) / (((60+5+(1^2.5))^1.5) = ~98% exp gain for level 60@merciless ledge. | ||

((60+5)^1.5) / (((60+5+(1^2.5))^1.5) = ~98% exp gain for level 60@merciless ledge. I was referencing Effective Difference. I thought you calculated it by seeing how many times 16 went into a zone's level, adding 3 to that number, and then adding (or subtracting) that to the zone to come up with the level range a player would receive full EXP from an area. Beyond that, you receive an exponential penalty to EXP gains. Though my knowledge of the system is evidently incomplete, I was still right about being able to farm it with no penalty until level 60 on Merciless, and 61 with only a minor hit. | ||

The effective difference is based on the player's level, not the zones level. If you change zone's level to player's level then you've got it correct. There is a safe level range where no penalty is applied, which is equal to three, plus one for every sixteen complete player levels. Any additional level difference in excess of this safe range is called the Effective Difference. source | ||
