Someone told me that if you run the prayer merc, insight, and cure. the skills synergize on the merc itself.

Ive played along time but ive never heard of that

Has anyone done this?

is it lit?

It existed in D2LoD (excluding cure runeword) and still works.
Once the mercenary has the skill prayer, they will boost the healing of mediation and cleansing.

Example : Lets say prayer will heal 20 health per second on your mercenary.
Having cleansing and mediation active on the mercenary would also heal 20 health each, but every 2 seconds instead of one second.
So over 2 seconds, you would be healed a total of 80 health for every 2 seconds in the case the mercenary prayer heals for 20 per second.
It's not exactly the same as doubling the speed since the rate it heals it is not consistent (20 followed with 60 with the previous case), but over the full 2 seconds it is.


tl;dr - yes, very effective.

Yes. With high enough level on merc and meditation aura, will give about 80 hp every 2 second. It's why i like to use it on hc bowa and most other builds. You are constantly at full hp. Mana regen quickens up too. They also say that the new runeword with cleansing increases both further, but i don't play that bad fame so i couldn't find out.
