A2 merc bis armour

Prayer Waheed being too suicidal even with tp from eni.
Every 2nd t5 harold is gets him goofed, or barely standing, with one health if lucky enough.
Merc weapon is good rolled Insight in

Eth

Thresher, merc

Helm is Cure in

Eth

Demonhead.
What can i put on his armour to make him tankier? (He is currently with

Eth Treachery).
Whats comes on my mind first is either Chains of Honor in big

Eth base, or upped

Eth

Shaftstop (what to socket?

Um?

Skull? dont want to waste

Ber on that).
What do you think? Maybe there is a better options? Maybe a CB armour socketed with a

Skull? Honestly i dont really need lots of dps off merc, but good CB is always awesome.

Try Delirium

You can not make him a tank. You have to prevent that he gets hit. Slow down enemies or

Confuse them.

What is your main character type, and also what level is the merc currently?

I did CoH on my Merc and its great, I didn't make it

Eth as I couldn't bear to spend the high cost of CoH and only be able to use it for Mercs. I am also single player offline, so trading isn't an option.

I have a Cure

Helm on him and Reaper's Tool when I need Decrpify or Insight when I need Mana or Infinity when I need

Conviction

Chains of Honor because your other gear doesn't have life leech. Also the +2 skills will increase

Prayer output.

Warlock magic dps, or sorc lightning (dual Dream), wl got mana issues, sorc is ES so mana is essentially my life

Cure gives a ES sorc some poison reduction. Beside that Cure does not do much. It does not do anything for the survivability of the merc.

It clears out

Amplify Damage quickly, which is quite helpful if you go from mob to mob quickly. When merc dies, usually

Amplify Damage is present.

With characters that clear quickly and

Stun like

Nova sorc and fire WL, my pretty much never dies, but I have found my ES WL (good damage but no

Stun) merc does die a bit more often than I would like. Usually only to a

Herald, and it's not that common. Amp damage is almost always at play. Also merc is running Pride which is low damage output.

I'm running

Eth

Shaftstop for him, but not 100% positive if that is best. Haven't socketed yet, would either do

Um or

Ber if I did. Other contenders would be Treachery, CoH, and Gladiator's Bane.

I've also toyed with the idea of using a

Protector's Stone in the socket for the 1% chance to cast

Fade.

besides that, Cure also synergy with

Prayer (and mb

Meditation too, not sure). Ie ur

Prayer heal u 20 per tick, with Insight 40 per tick, with Cure 60 per tick. Thats it.
