And for sorc/other elemental damage :

there's a secret glitch where any negatively applied resists enhance the a2 merc's dmg. it's meant to simulate the bloodfury technique of southern pacific warriors. so the -30 fire res = 30% ed

Yes, for reaper setup, fortitude or reaper and Cham guillaume are also good alternatives

No, you don't have any life leech, so if you are a necromancer and have life tap you should use Guillaume face and not dream, if not, you need life leech.

Andy give 8-10ll, plus some str (more damage) plus 20IAS, plus 1 free (or semi free) soc, you can aim for 75IAS breakpoint with a 15IAS/30fr jewel with treachery, to the 22ias breakpoint with the same jewel with Fortitude, or just Cham andy and still be fast with treachery alone.

Anyway, a Jeweler's Diadem of the Lamprey (up to 8ll and 3 sox) with 3 40ed/15ias jewel (or something else if you don't need that much extra IAS) is better.

life leech so you dont have to feed healing potions, something you dont have the time for

pvp merc gface defenitely , cheap and effective...ds armets or 30 str 30s helms with ed jewels would beat it but it would still be close and the ds armet would need to be gosu
