Optimized Mercenary Guide for D2R

Act 2 Merc ALWAYS.
If you can tele, Nightmare Defensive (Holy Freeze) in most cases.
If you cant, Normal Defensive (Defiance) is most likely best.

Treachery + Insight/Infinity + Andy/Vamp Gaze (15ias+15all res)
With Ebug Gone, Fortitude is no longer optimal ever.

For elemental use Infinity.
Almost all others, use Insight.

For Infinity Users ALWAYS use Giant Thresher
It is tied for fastest polearm speed with thresher, but more damage and attack range. Also crushing blow from infinity and venom from treachery are on-hit effects, so you want to hit as often as possible with Treachery, Andy, and 15ias jewel.

Insight Users Optimal Weapon by IAS:
Treachery only: GPA is Best. CA and CV follow.
Treachery + 15ias Jewel: CA is Best. CV and GPA follow.
Treachery + Andy Helm: GPA is Best. CA and CV Follow.
Treachery + Andy Helm +15ias: GPA is Best. CA and CV Follow.
