Go with either lightning for AOE or cold for single targets. Lightning does more damage when it actually uses Lightning, but wastes a lot of time casting Charged Bolt (~1700 on Lightning w/ -80% resists). Cold is more consistent and has better defense, but less damage (~1500 on Ice Blast, w/ -60% resists)

1/3 chance to use Lightning, but 2/3 he'll use Charged Bolt.
- 30/30 facets sword
- 20/20 facets shield
- +3 Lightning Ormus with 5/5 facet
- Griffon's with 5/5 facet

1/5 chance to use Glacial Spike, 4/5 chance to use Ice Blast, he'll also have Frozen Armor.
- 30/30 facets sword
- 20/20 facets shield
- +3 Ice Blast Ormus with 5/5 facet
- Nightwing's with 5/5 facet

The cold damage doesn't apply to spells and it won't use Arctic Blast. Bad choice.

Useless merc even with conviction pally with Lowe resist charges or a nec with infinity and lower resists.

Primary use for a merc is to have sanctuary aura from lawbringer to run chaos. That's it really even then he is bad.
