If you don't use any LifeTap then I'd say a Reaper's Toll for Decrepify
Otherwise, I use a Blessed Aim merc holding a Pride (20 Conc Aura)
A Faith merc might be ok too (Fanaticism, less damage than Conc but some AR and ias)

Treachery, for Fade (removes Decrepify which slows ias horribly)
Vamp Gaze, life leech and DR. Cham it

I also recommend a LW PB for Fade, for the same reason merc wears treachery

Act 5 merc
Eth 6os Colossus Blade made into a Last Wish
Eth Fort
Arreats eth Ber'd

I definately like my merc setup for my melee Sorc until Hell. Then I go with a Normal act 2 Defiance dude using the same hat and armor and a high ed eth Thresher Infinity. Since i haven't played a Barb like that, I'll concede to your merc suggestions as being better. Congrats on the fg when you receive it.

Have you used any of these mercs on a chaos running barb? I tried the conc/might merc setup with the gear from this( http://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=12286444) and while I did more damage, my runs were slower and more dangerous. a3 merc with Lawbringer solved it. http://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=12286444

So, did anyone who replied actually get the 5 fg?

I have to use an eth thresher insight so I can tele when I taxi ubers

fort eth armor and guilly helm with 15ias 40ed jewel in it....
