Hi,
I am currently using Act 5 Merc with Sazabi set + Malice sword, even when I prebuff him with Fade using Treachery, little bro does not really survive much.
I am on a smiter with CoA + Last Wish, so I can tank the whole fight, but I was looking for a new Merc set up so:
- He can survive long enough and tank a bit for me to make my job easier
- Or I have been thinking about trying a long-range Merc and giving him a weapon that gives an aura, so I can benefit from the aura. But I am not sure at all about the aggro, if any Ancient goes onto him, he won't last longer than the current Act 5 little bro
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Can be used to make Runewords:
Following because I'm interested to see as well. Uber Ancients definitely appear to have gotten buffed. Pre patch 3.2 my FoH smiter could get them done without a ton of difficulty. Just tried them a little while ago with my nonHC FoH smiter and died twice and used up two sets of statues trying because i couldnt get my corpse back. And I've done Ubers many times with this same char, FoH smiter w/
Gface w/ Um
Fortitude Archon Plate
Grief PB
HoZ (upped and Um'd)
Ravenfrost
Gore Rider
Maras
TrangOuls (mostly for the cold res and i dont feel like switching them out)
Uber Ancients slapped harder than I remember and harder than Uber Trist IIRC. Would like to hear some people's strategies or if I'm just retarded and doing something totally wrong.

Seems that new Uber Ancients are wayyy harder than before, and depending on your build can be harder than Uber Tristram.
For all the reports I have heard of, except with super fast clearing builds (Mosaic...), mercs are pretty cooked in all cases.

Can do trades on D2R or D2RotW

In my experience having capped resistances is the most important issue. Try to get 275+ for Lightning, Cold and Fire (simply switch your dmg Charms with res Charms).
If you can keep your Merc alive with the right gear I don't know. Mine can "help" with killing one but gets killed at the latest when they enter the second phase. My Merc uses Andariel's Visage, Fortitude and an Infinity (The Infinity is nearly useless in this case but I am too lazy to switch it to maybe The Reaper's Toll
).

After a 20 year break from D2 I started playing D2R in 2024 with my sons (9 and 10 years old)
