Diablo 2 lod legacy. Which act 2 merc do yall prefer? I've always done Holy freeze arua but I see some people like might aura. Which do yall prefer and why?

I'm a fan of blessed aim, mostly because I'm solo self found.

Depends entirley on char

Would be on my hammerdin

Depends on how/where you are using your character, what your gear setup is, hardcore or softcore, what your intended player count is.

I like holy freeze for p8 chaos runs, might for Baal runs, defiance as a party/support char.

I vote holy freeze 4 hammer

^ Same. Holy freeze on NM A2 defense merc helps in many environments. If you are trying not to go cookie cotter builds, then an a5 merc with a ferocious eth sword of your choosing may be a fun merc.

Useful alread got written down and ofc based on character and needs.

If you want the most fun merc and got runes to spend:

A5 frenzy merc 2x destruction + dragon armor + gaze for leech or delirium for proc and more fun (getting shaped into a small skeleton)


Edit: also viable is destruction + plague bc of -res curse proc.
