yeah I dont really like that setup. what gear do you use? I jusr swapped my a5 stuff over and used dreading. cant find an eth one.... and i swear you used to be able to put 2 weapons on a5 mercs.... and barb helms?
You can put barb helms yeah
Mine uses hysteria, arreat and dreadfang (ideally eth + protector stone)
Also you can use the frenzy barb merc but they can only use 1-hand swords even though they are technically barbarians
Or the bash merc who only got 1 weapon who can ofc be a 2-hander like dreadfang
