Defense aura or frost aura?? leviathon or shaft or ethstone armor? would appreciate ur idea's

I just use a cheap duriels shell, it has good life; 15 str helps dmg a little, and cannot be frozen. *I hate when my merc is frozen and moves SLOOOOOW* Frost aura rocks, Might works too if you want him to do like 2x his normal dmg... I'd go shaft if ur lookin for cheap, no need Levi unless u want defense/DR (Ur merc should be like lvl 95+ and have basically max res already)

Make an offer.

eth asn plate,,, 45% ias or w/e and fade... works great for me...and holy freez or defiance ... depends on your build... and the job your givin her,,, used to allways use defiance,.,., but i ben useing HF for my key runner ben working well,,,

hehe i for 1 merc with levi 1 with stone both have holy freeze for sorc i dun think defiance merc realy matters u won't have that good of def to matter

levi merc: adds 200 dmg cause str, dmg reduce nb def use tals mask with p amy for even more dmg anf the 15 res u need to make perf if ur merc is lvl 98

stone merc: gfg def(54k def with barb bo) str res life, use gaze with this for leaches,dr

(edit : Upped) shaft + gaze are very affrodable and make your merc tank incredibly well (45-50% dr).
I use Prayer merc because i'm a pussy on hardcore and the life healing is great for me.
Weapon : non eth Insight Cv,
Char : Frozen orb / es sorc - with low tele cost.

Merc never die but kill kind of slow, i would recommand a eth elite runeword (ethereal obediance would be perfect to get high chance to hit, high dmg and kewl crushing blow.)
Also leave you 2 socket to get either dmg or faster attack

if my sorc was another element i would use Holy Freeze.
