Best setup for a merc

Levi is best for any melee character that i can think of.

Well, my merc wears levi, and andy's too. But I have him wearing some other weapon besides bonehew because bonehew does less damage.

Bonehew does less damage than What?

Also, since nobody will probably ever find one of those jewels, what runes, or gems, or more common jewels would you reccomend putting in the armor and helm? (Amns stay in bonehew to keep the merc alive unless someone has a much better suggestion.)

On my mercy he uses an Eth Stone, and an Eth Thresher "cresent Moon" i used to have a gaze for him but i seem to have mis placed it...hmmm? but thats my set up and once he is lvl 84 he will be usin a 3Skt Cryptic Axe Tomb Reaver with AmnAmnAmn...

i used to have a nearly perfect eth crown of the thieves
eth schaft or upped shaft

Oh ya, what's your merc for anyway? pindle? duel? or what? andy?

My merc is poor so he uses shaft, eth gaze and double AMN bonehew. Duriel's shell also worked well for the resistances.

My ladder merc is extremely poor and constantly complains about his gear, but that's tough shit for now. When you are demon bait your choices in life are slim...

Bonehew does less damage than What?

He uses Stillpillar, gives def% bonus too which is nice.
