It’s fine, I was about to be that guy.

Edit, and OP are you using howl to scatter non unique council?

It lets merc focus on the uniques

ebotd wp or eth arioc's needle
eth coh

yes

Put Kira,GA, Reapers to your merc, dies only when conviction if you are not awake.

Ebotd WP
Eth COH
SteelShade Cham'd or 30 fire res/15 ias'd (to somewhat keep him topp'd against conviction). Flicker flame is alternative but he wont get the absorb that steel shade provides.

Insight thresher, Eth Flickering Flame Corona, Eth CoH ap. Also doesn’t die unless I let him get stuck at the porch window or ismail.

mine goth eth guardian angel + kiras + reapers toll.
Only dies when conviction aura, but it you focus the mob that has it its quite easy to keep him alive

U need guardian angel with um and kiras with um so he can survive conviction aura trav. A ral rune in either one works too, the hydras are the main threat bc they're bugged and do a billion% extra DMG to your merc

Coh is the absolute top tier armor for a merc.

I personally like gladiators bane with um, quite tanky and v budget
