I never needed an insight merc. So right now I would go for dual a2 merc with lawbringer and plague.

Sanctuary and Cleansing aura are pretty nice

And I’m bored of A2 mercs

been running a5 frenzy merc w/ eth headstriker x2 + fort + arreats (cham).
i tried lawbringer in the OH but felt like the knockback was messing up my hammer targeting. was nice to never be in trouble vs Lord de Seis though.
overall I feel like he's tankier and does more damage on avg than emilio.

curious if others have tried other setups for damage or utility

What are you using for keeping mana ? Hitting pots is not enough

Are your results with this better than single eth headstriker? I thought that was supposed to be the highest dps build. So far I've not been impressed with its P8 wave 2 killing speed. As a hammerdin, this is the only thing I need.
