Very nice guide, plenty of detail.

I guess I'm just confused as to why anyone would actually need this guide to figure out that Fortitude is obviously superior to Treachery

in my calculations,fortitute out-performed treachery in damage,life and resists.End of story.More survivablilty,dmg,etc

Nothing shown to back up your statement, so its useless. End of story.

i tryed both. forti merc survives longer and in hard cases.. treshery merc dies. forti lives.. btw treshery merc needs defensive aura to live longer. forti merc do not need more def

Not to mention that it casts Chilling Armor wich helps frame lock opponents.

I'll say it again:

what is treachery?For the lack of ias you put that crap on?Too bad most of the time my chars have fanat aura on.The fade is next to useless as it never triggers in pvp.Only useful thing is Venom,but its quite weak,and maybe 30 cold resists.
Fort=4065 defence,gosu,breaks 4k defence,on top with lvl 15 chilling armor.Once you add things like Defiance and Shout,it will be gosu 60k defence no barb hits that merc=ez baba

haha so much work but not the basics that a act 2 merc only can do 2 hits with jab

who use merc in pvp.. and what are you talking about?? read post.. and hink before you make a fool out yours selfs

gozu merc who will die with one hit cause mercs count as a monster
