OP
Treachery is a good idea, I somehow don't have a good ethereal 3 socket to make one yet lol. He often dies to Andariel on P5 or higher cuz she hits hard and blizzard kills slow-ish.

All trades are negotiable within reason :)

if it is Andariel, and have Cure, it may try unique armor socket Gul .
That usually means your merc only die due to poison damage.

easy way to try it is use Guardian Angel. see how hp drops and if it work, then think about if going to try Gul on leech armor.
if not work....still coh/engima+hp works best.

Some Trade is available for both rotw and LoD, Most rune , Perfect Gems is only in LoD side.

Fade fills the hole of this setup perfectly
Fade won't help against elemental damages because Emilio will already have 75 all res.

In example, he may get killed by Megademon Inferno in Chaos Sanctuary.
True but my statement was meant to be treach > Hustle for this setup. Hustle won't perform better against Inferno, would it?

CoH is of course best but Ber is hard to find in SSF and you might not want to spend your first Ber on a Merc armor.

I tend to socket roll basically any Eth armor with 700+ def and hope to get 3os for that reason. It still takes forever to get enough for making hustles/treaches for all Mercs. 😅

You can also make treach in non- Eth ones. There are people even arguing that you want low def on treach to consistently proc Fade.

A low def treach should still perform better than a Skin of the Flayed One.

I case you roll a 2os armor with great def, you can consider Smoke. Not the best but ok-ish and cheap enough for a temp.

Fortitude is probaly the best option here in terms of high defense and damage output to help your merc kill faster/stay alive.

Stone is a nice budget option the provides high defense, but not the damage output that you can get from Fortitude.
Fortitude is BIS for many setups, but not for the Prayer-Cure-Insight one. For that one, it's CoH.

Stone is invalid nowadays and I'd consider it a waste of Um+ Pul, esp. in SSF.

Agree !

Maybe a Blood Body as a temp armor while waiting a better life leech one ? But it looks crap with only 3% and it may be long to craft a decent one.

The question was "Does anyone have any other ideas or a go-to when it comes to armor for this particular merc set up?" The answer to that is simple: CoH. He did not ask for the costs.

Oh believe me, I have been lmao. I have plenty if 4os laying around and the others have all rolled 1 or 2. It's actually wild.

Yeah CoH is best, but first 3 Ber I get are gonna be for other runewords hehe. I use the CoH setup on my SCNL Nova sorc and it rocks

So I'm using a triple heal merc on my single player sorc (Cure, Insight, Prayer), and debating what to do about armor. His survivability is decent, but he dies a fair amount too. I have been swapping between a Duriel's Shell and a Skin of the Flayed One (for resists and life leech, respectively). The issue is, I can't have both. I'd use a Chains of Honor, but my first Ber is going to Enigma, and the next 2 (luck willing) will be for Infinity.

So, I am hoping to find an ethereal Skin of the Flayed One (ideally with 7% LL) and upgrade it, socket it with an Um, and call it a day. I already have a non- Eth one, not sure if it's worth waiting for Eth and possibly getting a worse roll.

The only other option I can think of would be socket the Duriel's Shell and put a jewel with life leech in it, but I actually am not sure those even exist (I think no lol).

Does anyone have any other ideas or a go-to when it comes to armor for this particular merc set up?
Chains of Honor would be best I'd say because of the life leech, failing that, hard to say lol.

My Cure merc used an Um'd Shaftstop and it worked great before I got CoH. Eth Duriel's Shell doesn't seem too bad either.

Life leech jewels do not exist.

For armors, CoH is best for LL, then skin of flayed one. Greyform and Boneflesh exist, too. And you could craft a blood armor if you feel fancy. 😅

I'd probably go with Treachery. Once Fade procs your res problems are gone and physical damage is reduced. With triple heal that should be enough for a lvl 92 A2.

Are you playing on P8?
Never on P8, no. Usually P3, P5, or P7, depending on the area and how frisky I'm feeling lmao. AFAIK, P8 doesn't get me better drop odds than P7, just more exp. Kill speeds are generally very slow above P5 though with my current gear.
This is correct, there is no benefit to players 8 vs players 7 in terms of drops. Only more XP.
