Definitely do not use a3 merc in chaos. I mean, if you're going for pure exp, maybe? But not for grailer. You want those mobs walking into your hammers!
I like decrep tho, so if you can manage mana, try something like reapers(ber), etreach, guilli (offense)/ steelshade (defense). If you need insight, I'd recommend vamp gaze and teach (hope for prov) or even shaft stop....de seis eats merc without DR
Coh and Andy's are other good options here, sometimes fade won't proc, so over time I found coh to be more tank. Fort is good too.
There's also a decison on whether or not you want HF or might merc. HF is a bit safer and slower while might will improve hammer kill speed (mobs walking thru hammers) and Diablo kill, which is usually slower than desired with Hdin. Go with what feels 👍
Thanks for good input. The Act3 option still hangs on since d2lod Baal team when I was a CS-hammer, then Act3 was just for seal as you mention; pure exp.
Right now Gaze, Treach, Insight.
