Find an ias/fire res jewel and socket that andy.

15ias isn't going to make his merc survive

1. Life leech is integral in merc survival
2. You need damage to leech life...
3. Atk speed is very helpful for better leech. CV is a very slow weapon.

Andys is strong but need to get fire res back try crown of theives your weap needs lots more damage

life leech is proportional to dps and slow polearms have more dps than fast polearms

Doesn't really equal better leech...getting more life increments than bigger increments significantly improved my mercs survival. The extra fpa make a huge difference. Try it out and see if it works for you.

the cv merc already attacks 4times per second, it's consistent enough

CV is fine if you can only afford treachery/andy cuz of ias diminishing return. 6 crit thresher insight/fort/15 ias Andy is the same fpa with higher dmg. It is a very solid set up.

merc doesnt die im using gaze helm treachery armor eth reapers toll

He have mad leech, attack speed and damage. Been using that same setup myself for a time this ladder. Get Faith GMB too and he'll be like a walking lawnmower in the front ^^
