I recently used A1 faith Merc for pre Ubers on my zon and it worked great. As a pally would free up an aura. She just kind hungnback. Obviously if boss targets any Merc in Ubers they're pretty much toast

I know AR is ridiculously important but maybe try holy freeze?

And perhaps only use treachery until it procs then switch to like chains of honor or something simliar

just a thought, I remember doing this years ago but no idea what I used

Thats why i had doom on him, holy freeze and blessed aim at the same time. If i put a different weapon then i might go for a holy freeze merc

Using with summoner endgear a might merc with infonity forti sacred eth andy. Lvl 20 bo fana from necro and lvl 20 conc aura Iron golem

Netting in high lifex max ias merc, good resistances if I prebuff him with fade and dmg red.

Using lvl 20+ lifetap on bosses.


If he gets targeted he rly needs frequent full rejs to stay Alive.


A2 merc will die alot in ubers in my opinion

She'll generally follow behind you if walking. Are you more worried about UT or mini Ubers?
