as a fanadin I have Obedience as well in a EthThresher, vamp gaze, and for armor Eth upgraded Guardian Angel (over 2k def) he has 90 allres with that setup, that helped A LOT. he can solo tranvincal with me in 8 player games.
I figured if hes killed usually its by large mob groups with might or fana aura, or ranged magical mobs. And the magic mobs problem completely went away with getting the res to 90
that's great but vamp gaze is enough for 95%? or is his natural resistences are above 75% in level 80?
is there a chart that shows the merc res according to its level?
vamp gaze has no res on it, the +res come from Obedience and a 14% all res jewel in the Guardian Angel, forgot to mention that
he is lvl 90 meanwhile, with lvl 80 you might need a perf Obedience roll, not sure about the base resis on lvl 80
He rarely dies. Only things that can kill him are the Ubers and Lord De Seis' pack. He can basically kill the cows solo and tanks council/hydras. He's like a canary for me, if he dies then I get extra cautious.
I like using EthInsight for my casters. (I hate using mana pots). I have EthInfinity on my lightning sorc. In my opinion EthFortitude is the ultimate merc armor if you can afford it. Treachery is pretty good if you can find an Eth 3 socket armor with over 800 defense. And I typically go with andarials visage with a Ral rune to compensate for the fire resistance. A 15 ias / fire resistance jewel is ideal though.
Reapers + Kira + Guardian Angel
Cheap as chips and Max survivability, 90% res all
A bit weak in damage output though.
As a blizzsorc, i only used this setup to stall the Travincal guys and he only accidentally dies maybe 1/20 runs due to Conviction aura (which i probably should have skipped)
And CTA helps with Merc survival, w/e the setup you decide on.

I got the same setup and it works like a charm. Also trying EthObedience + tals Mask + Guardian Angel (still 90 all res) to get the last council guy down faster.
Crown of Thieves for the life steal (some res/life too). Duriel Shell for the resist, and cannot be frozen (very useful so the lifesteal is uninterrupted! Easy to lose a frozen merc who doesn't leech enough). Insight in elite (non ethereal) weapons.
Needs a bit of managing, but they barely ever die.
I even make them kill Nihlathak when he's immune to my stuff, and they do ok (once in a while I have to use a rejuv on them, but not often).
