Hey! Started solo p8 as fury druid. What is the best merc for pvm fury druid? Act1 with faith bow? Act 5 with lawbringer \ hustle? Act 2 might with pride (i think it is impossible to find all these runes in solo) or reaper?

You should self wield Reaper.

I second self wielding reaper. You can get an act 2 might merc for the extra stats, but honestly, once you use reaper yourself you don't need a merc.

I'm playing solo, so finding eth reaper with Zod is nearly impossible. I'm planning to use Death in eth decapitator, or another eth base. Since i'm not planning using enigma, i think actl5 merc with hustle armor \ lawbringer, hustle in hands is the best option, since other merc's won't keep up with me. What you think?

This is the way. I use hustle armor, death decap and metamorphosis, which you should strongly consider if you ever find a Cham.

Your zero i.q merc will proc decry when he could. Eth Reaper is not must, non Eth is fine also.

About reaper...I just found one, very good rolled, non eth. But i have no dex to use it, i need respec for that. At this time i use "Oath" in eth Decapitator, which has twice as much damage. And act 5 merc with double hustle proc decrip almost instant. So what's the point of using reaper for myself??

My current gear:
"Oath" in eth Decapitator . I'm planning to use "Death", when i get runes.
"Fortitude" (was lucky with "Lo" rune in LK)
Jalal
Ears of Strings
LoH
Aldurs boots
Raven + random rare ring
Random rare amu

Act 5 merc with double hustle \ lawbringer \ cure .

I know, I even found +3 fury base for that. But in this game it may never happen)

Ribcracker beats Oath in almost all situation and you could buy it cheaper.
Also with your setup you got zero CB and DS.
Change weap to Ribby, boots to Gores, amu for highlords and you basically double your damage output

Yeah, i know the basiсs, but atm i play sf, so i wear what i found. So no gores and highlords yet. The irony is that i found eth near perfect ribcracker . At least i'll break it on uber's faces, when the time come, lol

If I have amp covered. (Atmas, or brand bow, or reapers)

I like vigor bow on act1 merc for inner sight and run run
