What is best merc for caster in 1.10??

I wana get my new pvp/pvm necro a good merc but im not so sure as to which one would be best suited for the task...?

Hmm right now my pvp enigma/bone necro is using an A1 Merc using BotD Hydra Blackhorns and 117/30 Ias armor seems to be fine...

what diff did you get her in? Also if you will post a screenshot of your nec and his items i wana see what you use compared to what i use.

I am using a a2 cold merc with shaft, gaze, and the unique cryptic axe (forgot the name after 2 month, tome reaver maybe?). works fine before, still works fine.

For PvP, you'd want a rogue.

For PvM builds, I'd go with a Holy Freeze A2 merc or Barbarian Merc from A5. Both are good at holding enemies in place.

id say either holy freeze act 2 merc or defiance act 2 merc
defiance act 2 is much easier to level, and he gets very hard to hit at high levels so he takes a lot of hits...also you benefit from the defiance as well

My PVM skelemancer uses a a2 might merc. When the aura gets activated the monsters go down alot faster.

For a good PvM Merc I would suggest a Defience Merc using a Doom Pole Arm so you have double the aura. Defence and Holy Freeze.

What difficulty? Hell or nm?

Defiance is a Normal or Hell Defensive.

defenatly A2 cold merc

So will any of you nice people answer the question I have been asking all along? WHAT DIFFICULTY would i choose out of if i was to go with a act2 merc(cold) or a act1 merc??????

Hell for an A1 merc. Act2 Holy Freeze can only be found in Nightmare, and it's the Defensive merc.
