Isn't Eth Ebug Sacred Armor Fortitude the best? or does it being medium class make the merc slow?? Anyone know answer? Thank you

Depends on your build and if pvp or pvm

depends what other gear you are using and the purpose of the merc
sacred armor is heavy aka 10% slower run walk, not very noticeable to me and telly fixes this if it is a bother
if your is using a setup where fort is optimal then yes sacred armor should be the best



merc pvp ftw

http://classic.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/elite/armor.shtml the official website says sacred armor is a medium O_O??

oh I could've sworn lol
5% movement difference still

If talking about the base armor, go with the ethereal highest defence armor you can find. The penalties for heavy armor are hardly noticeable with mercs.

If talking about the actual armor itself, treachery is better than fort.

Treachery is better in most cases

Should have been more precise, yes.

In most cases Treachery is better. You still need to take in account the whole merc setup as well as his aura and your own build. With all that said, Treachery is usually better.

Depends if you just do 1pokes
depends if you're just mfing in specific areas
depends if you use fanatism
depends if you have conc
depends if you play on p1 or p8
depends on if you have cb
Depends if you only care about dps
