I'm trying to decide what to put in my Act 2 merc's helmet. Screenshot taken in hell difficulty:



I have a 32% damage, +15 max damage jewel I was thinking about putting in. Or maybe an IAS jewel?

protector's stone is best, but you'd have to ask why bother using andys visage when you could have cure or flickering flame

But more than double the merc’s dmg output and tankiness

More useful than some small quality of life auras
