What gear for my merc
 

I am getting an Act 2 nm merc then I have to level him. Cuz I can't make d2jsp or whatever run without one. So far I have a bonehew, dureil shell, and no helm. If you have something better let me know. Also Celaron if you aren't using your UsEast Ladder sorc, can I get my eth shaft back?

well i guess eth bonehew high def armour etc. would be good, but with it being ladder, go for the poor mans version and i'd probly try and give him some leach. Mayb vamp gaze for helm? that has nice dr too. Don't really know though, i personally dont like using mercs too dam lazy

I'm using a shitty Gaze, Shaft, and the Unique Cryptic Axe on my Ladder Sorc's Merc, and he rarely ever dies. Rarely ever. That is some crappy gear for a merc, and it still works. :)

i got eth spire of honor on east sc ladder if you want that until you can use bonehew, i think i got a steal skull also, but lemme know and ill take a look for ya

I'd say Eth Gaze with Ber, Eth Levi with Ber, and Eth Bonehew with Amn Amn.

Thats going to happen real soon. ;)

That's not that expensive......


I'm so used to easily getting runes though.. I don't remember how hard it used to be to get them >_<

Well that's what you can shoot for.

The eth levi is a real must as the str req goes down a lot when it's eth.

Until you get the good gear, here's some cheaper gear:

Andy's Visage With P Skull
or
Crown of Thieves with P Skull
or
Stealskull with P Skull

Levi with -15req jewel and whatever else mods you can find
If you have Duriel, I wouldn't upgrade it until you get enough for at least a regular Levi (if not eth).

Anything in here: http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/ite...polearms.shtml
or just a good rare polearm with Amn.

... my merc uses a polearm from lazurk.. only mod on it is 6LL

Uses Pheasent Crown

Uses +34res viper... he was lvl 54 before i started botting and i got ip bann.. ill let u no after work tomorrow :) i have bonehew but thats it...
