Typically you see infinity+fort+andy

would infinity+coh+gulliams do more damage because of cb+ds. You could even add a ias jewl in guliams if merc reaches next bp or a ber for more DR (16 with COH). and merc gets 8% ll from coh plus demon/undead damge?

Considering you really only need the merc to kill those light immunes that infinity doesn't break.

Generally Infinity in a Thresher or Giant Thresher with Treachery is your best option.

The only time Fortitude is better is if you have Fana aura.

The helm then depends on what base you use and what breakpoint you want to reach. Andy Head with 15 ias/30 fire res jewel is common if you're using Cryptic Axe for example. Gulli is good if you need the source of CB. Gaze is very viable aswell. Cham as the socketed rune is very underrated.

It all depends what you need from the merc!

ya that's true for cnbf, I only need it as a tank and to kill light immunes that infinity doesn't break. If infinity+treschery+ gaze (cham or ias) kills the fastest, then im game

Yes, that's the best choice.

Honestly, you won't see much difference when facing a solo unique monster with >116% light res (immuned after Conviction).

The merc is paired with lite sorc and all thats left for the merc are immunes. So yes - it should last very long if you are not playing like an idiot.

LL is necessary. CB have little effect in high counter games, and in p1 or few players u don't need it anyway.
