What is THE Merc for ME?

yah i know. im just dont feel like leveling the merc and dont feel like "funding" a merc project. Long short is im lazy -_-

okay. i might just buy a act 5 hell merc, give that a shot for a while. i found arreats once, so i bet i can find it again later. idk, mercs + me = :-/ thx people.

hm, act2 merc auras....
my experience is, that in 90% the aura does NOT start before pindl is dead!

i have a defiance merc, but i took the defensiv one, i did not mind wich aura he would have

barbs?! well, its easier to get a GOOOD act2 merc weapon then a sword!(my opinion)

Act 5 is definitely the best tanker for pindle.

Just throw whatever armor/weapon/helm you can buy on him, and he'll do decent/fine.

Otherwise, be NICE to your merc and mf meph for a while to get him a decent rare sword and some good armor/helms

PETM.

We are watching.

i believe that the a2 merc has to kill an enemy before it even pops its aura....so on pindle runs, it comes down to tanking... a5 is better. here is what my barb uses...

Hmasues Adamament (sorry for the butchered spelling, too lazy right now to care)
shitty Arreats
Flamebellow Balrog Sword.

He has no prob in hell meph... hardly even loses life.

HOWEVER, my merc is only for botting/mfing. Rushing and lvling and whatever could have a better Merc/sorc combo. Just my input

EDIT: Oh and since he said he is a COLD sorc, i dont think he needs more cold spells (a2 Holy freeze or a3 cold).

As a reluctant member of PETM, I like NM Act 2 HF and the ACT 2 Hell def Merc. I have used both with a zon and have found them to be handy, especially getting extra defense on my 09 zon build. My Hammerdin uses the NM Act 2 merc and that combo does well also. All of my men, I mean mercs, use a bonehew with AMN x 2, a shaft, and either a veil or eth gaze. I love hearing them say, "I will put that to good use."

I guess either of these would be good but since I don't bot I cannot speak to what a bot would need.

Oh, BTW, Act 1 mercs suck. Never was able to get one to work very well.
