Zakarum Priest

A Highlight of version 3.1d! Thanks to a BaseMod feature, Act 4 merc from Tyrael is now possible. You can hire a brand new type of merc 'Zakarum Priest' at Tyrael in Act 4, they are very good assistants. A Zakarum Priest would use 'Zakarum Heal' to heal the player and himself, 'Zakarum Cleansing' to Remove poison or curses from all team members. They attack with 'Zakarum Lightning', 'Zakarum Blizzard' and 'Fist of the Heavens'.

Unlike monster version, their Zakarum Lightning inherits all damage sources on them, can trigger effects or CTCs.

Zakarum Priests can only equip 'Priest Gloves' as weapons, you must convert a pair of common Gloves with the Cube to equip them.

They can only use 'Soul' as the offhand item right now, but in later updates there'll be something amazing, not only for them~

They're counted as Zakarumites, so Equipped Offensive Auras on them would be full value to all team members.

They're counted as Male Creatures, so potions for male mercs work with them.

Zakarum Priests CAN'T block!

Those who killed by a Zakarum Priest would RIP.

Barbarian

Sword faction can use 'Soul' as fringe in offhand now.

Axe faction's 'Frenzy' skill would be using vanilla damage bonus value.
