infos you might need to answer that question:

- i do baal and diaruns only, no pvp
- merc will get forti eth and andy eth (15 ias jewel maybe? dunno what that costs, if it’s too expensive, i’ll go with a ral)

what would make sense? i always liked ca more than cv due to the fact that it does „safer“ dmg (min dmg is way better). but some guys use tresher/giant tresher for attacking speed. any suggestions for me?

if you put a ias jewel in andy the jewel must also give fire res

if you use andy without ias jewel, then gpa is the best base
if you use andy with a ias jewel, then use anything but gpa. You won't be able to notice a difference.

Treachery is a better armor than Fortitude. It gives IAS, fade and venom. You want to use a Thresher or Giant Thresher because they are both -10 weapon speed bases. The more attacks your Merc gets in, the more life leech it can steal. I'd rather him leach more than hit harder when paired with a Java.

i guess no full res for cs/baal java isnt an option for me. he needs full res and good dmg for immunes :)

He will hit 75 all resist when Fade is proc'd. Especially if you have a 15IAS/30FR jewel in the Andy's.
