Should I use

Act 2 Might merc with reapers toll for decripfy to tackle physical immune monsters + aura

or

Act 5 Merc with Lawbringer + Plague combo?

don't wanna invest into act 5 merc if its gonna suck

a2

Is that cleansing aura really any good?
If ur dead on for act5 merc then lawbringer + lw is my best guess, but i would just do act2 eth reapers merc.

I also think barb merc war cries override some amp...

I am not sure about the cleansing aura, I guess I just saw a lot of people looking for plague and headstrikers lately, was just wondering what was up, stats looked decent, and cleansing poison/curses sounds like a nice defensive boost. Just wasn't sure. Was still leaning towards keeping a2 just for might.

Act5 merc has a massive boost on MAX damage if 1 handed.
Eth headstriker has a lot of that! It also has above 100% deadly strike.

However, i dont see a reason for plague other than cleansing on ur build. It has decent damage etc, but if those people has any elemental dmg the plague merc will cast Lower Res when struck.

Mixing Lawbringer and Plague is just having 2 curses overriding eachother.
