Depends what you want your merc to do.
Fort is a good mix of damage+tankiness.
Guardian Angel makes your merc close to immortal.
Treachery is a budget option that JSP thinks is better than Fort.
If you just want your merc to survive for Med aura, Eth Upp’d GA + Kira’s or (Cham’d) Gaze.
If you want your merc to do damage, then Fort + G Face/Andy’s.
Treachery relying on its CTC Fade is not very ideal and it is very easy for your merc to die before it procs, but it also depends on the content you are doing.
If you are doing a lot of Trav/Baal runs then GA helps a lot as the hydras do bugged, insane, damage to mercs.
You are doing Meph as well which does have the council near him, but I imagine you just port past them right?
The answer depends on what you want of your merc. Seeing as he’s HF and not Might I imagine you don’t care about his DPS that much?
