Uh... I should try this.... On open though. Give a barb merc, Ao_New_ith, X-Factor, and uh... 120/45max helm. And same for an act 2 offensive merc. With who knows what pike...cruel war pike of evic?... and the same gear as barb.
actually i think the might merc is the best, i gave him 160/60 120/45 and an eth 199% spire of honor. he did around 4k w/o might on and thats plenty for me. you can close this thread.
vs another player, you wouldnt weant a barb or a act 2 merc.
The only real viable pvp merc is a rouge. and obviously, a wf with 120/45 and 160/60 would be tops<<but id still go with dr over mroe dmg in a pvp merc
mercenary is used to speed along leveling or fighting in a way that keeps you safe **holyfreeze keeping enemies far away **might adding damage **barb stunning opponent so they don't hit back **rogue ranged bow attack user **a3 merc elemental ranged attacker etc.
