Tell us what equipment u made ur merc (def act 2) wear....and tell us why....share with us your suggested equipment and state the reason....(please dun give those xtreme high prices items and say it's the best)
I hope forum members gain more ' knowledge ' of act2 def merc.... :D
thank you :)

i use combat merc with eth doom.....eth coh......and eth 3 sockt bone visage with 3 40/15s in it ...........he is lvl 92 and has NEVER died........i use him with my lvl 93 hammer pally with conc on merc does near 17k damage..........

i use doom too but with an nm offensive merc
needless to say with a might and holy freeze aura ...

he won't die unless cursed by iron maiden :(
part with my conc barb and can have about 4k life 5k dmg and 12k defence
btw he can still do some kill

nice...
btw,if ure in a baal run and ur merc doesnt do anything....will he get xp?

I haven't tried yet
maybe he gain some xp when I kill the super unique mons there

btw how can i force him do nothing ...

Act 2 merc hmmm....well i'd say the best you can afford w/o trading ur best stuff should be good

Ps r u guys talking like doombringer on an act2 merc (is that possible)?

it's possible
with an offensive one he's just amazing

Why is that so?

Doom is the Doom rune word. Doom is great on an act 2 nm offensive merc. :) Especially when you're a berserker.

I know bout doom...
but y the berserker part?

ok to build the best deff merc get a offence/defence aura act 2 (nightmare) equip it with a
*stone runeword* in either a archon*eth* plate or an *eth* ornate plate get a giant skull helm and put like a 1x or 2x um's if u want or some 40/15 depending on the size of ur paypal acc (lol) and put a (if ur ****ing rich like me) eth botd war pike or like bone hew oger axe with 2x ohm (if u wana wast 2 ohm's lol)

I guess, I like coh more or bramble even.

stone is a great rw and the runes not really hard to find..
btw isit good for it to wield a uniq hyperion spear...(forgot the name)

I know bout doom...
but y the berserker part?

lower monster cold resistance?

I guess, I like coh more or bramble even.

i do like coh more
since the +skill and +resistance
can boost the skill of merc and he will have no problem in resistance

Yeah.
