Im using Light sorc at the moment in HC in Hell, shes good etc, im needing guidance on my merc.

What to use and the benefits (if possible)
I have seen there is a lot of improved runewords etc, im not wanting to splash huge amounts of fg on the merc, but currently have eth Treach in high def, just need decent weapon and mask.

For starter, Tal Helm and Insight Runeword in Thresher base are pretty good.

You probably already have the rune for the Insight.

Bulwark RW too is a great option for helm.

Insight give: Mediation Aura, decent damage.
Tal helm give: Resist, Life and Life leech.
Bulwark give: Life Leech, %PDR, %Life, FHR

Tal mask and adarials Visage are usually the two go-to. That or crown of thieves for the LL.

Eth bonehew or reapers toll are usually good weapons non-runeword

Runeword style insight is go-to, and eventually infinity as a lightning res reducer for enemies, but that one is $$$

Insight reroll until you get a high (close to 17) aura to keep the mana flowing
