manald heal is cool

Quote
3/20 > 2/20

no because with a 3/20 you don't have resists on the gloves
so you can't reach 75@res

Quote
aldurs > tries

nope because you need resistances

Quote
forgot merc

I added it:
guillaumes face
fortitude
infinity
it was so obvious

"60% chance to get interrupted and stunned when attacked" is not something you want

cold res doesn't matter
poison res doesn't matter (except for nihl maybe)
anyways even if you want 75@, losing 1sk to gain 30res is obviously not worth it, else you'd be using 3* res scs instead of skillers

you are right
andariels visage is better than guillaumes face
thank you for the remark



Hazade the Judge
No evil creature in this game is innocent. They are all convicts who must be put down! Hazade will provide with the ultimate Conviction aura, rendering their resistances (and immunities (light), in some of them) useless. This is a supporter type merc build.
Recommended Hiring Difficulty- Nightmare.
Recommended Merc Type- Defense (Holy Freeze).

Weapon
Infinity Runeword- No other choice here, as a javazon you will be doing elemental damage, and Infinity gives you just that - reduced enemies' elemental (light, in this case) resistance. Level 12 Conviction Aura When Equipped, +35% Faster Run/Walk, +255-325% Enhanced Damage, -(45-55)% To Enemy Lightning Resist, 40% Chance, Crushing Blow,Prevent Monster Heal,0.5-49.5 To Vitality (Based on Character Level). Level 12 Conviction = -85@ elemental resistances (light/cold/fire), -83% defense.

Helm
#1- Andariel's Visgage- 20% Increased Attack Speed, 8-10% Life Stolen Per Hit, +25-30 To Strength, +10% To Maximum Poison Resist, Fire Resist -30%, Poison Resist +70%.
Socket with any 30% FR jewel / Ral. This helm is the top here because of its +Strength, which will help you reach the required strength requirement on infinity with ease.
#2- Giant Skull- The Knock Back helm, perfect for warding off approaching enemies. Can have up to 2 sockets, 35 strength, 320 defense and 10% Crushing Blow. Again, chose this for Strength purposes. Socket with -15req/15@ if you can't have your merc wear it yet, and 15ias/15@ if he can.
#3- Crown of Ages- If you can meet the strength requirement, this is quite the best. Main attributes: Damage Reduced By 10-15% (varies), All Resistances +20-30 (varies), +30% Faster Hit Recovery, Socketed (1-2) (varies). Socket with -15req/15@ to lower the high strength requirement, and to boost your resistance further.
#4- Kira's Guardian- The resistance Tiara. +50-120 Defense, +20% Faster Hit Recovery, Cannot Be Frozen, All Resistances +50-70. Socket with Um / 15@ jewel.

Armor
#1- Treachery Runeword- 5% Chance to Cast slvl 15 Fade when Struck, +45% Increased Attack Speed, +20% Faster Hit Recovery, Resist Cold +30%. This armor is perfect for almost any situation. When the merc is faded, it has +60@ resistance and 15% Damage Reduction. What makes it even more superior than Chains of Honor (offering constant 65@ res) is the 45% IAS, the 20% FHR and the 30% CR (when faded, overall %CR is 90% resistance on the armor alone!!)
#2- Chains of Honor Runeword- As a supporting role, all you will need to worry about is the continuing survivability of your merc. This armor offers quite a bit extra damage to boot. +200% Damage to Demons, +100% Damage to Undead, 8% Life Stolen Per Hit, Replenish Life +7, All Resistances +65, Damage Reduced by 8%.
#3- Shaftstop- Unique Mesh Armor. Upgrading a good %ed ethereal one will produce with a crazy amount of defense. +180-220% Enhanced Defense (varies), Damage Reduced By 30%- highest %DR armor in the game. +250 Defense Vs. Missile, +60 To Life.Socket with a 15/15@ or Um or even a Cham if you don't want your mercenary to lose speed while wearing Giant Skull and providing with many KB hits per minute.
#4- Skin of The Flayed One- This extremely underrated unique demonhide armor is one of my top favorite armors of all times. It simply has everything a mercenary needs to survive. +150-190% Enhanced Defense (varies) - massive defense while ethereal. Repairs 1 Durability In 10 Seconds- doesn't matter since it's on a mercenary, but it goes to show it can be used as ethereal on yourself as well! Replenish Life +15-25 (varies) - highest life replenishing armor in the game. Attacker Takes Damage of 15. Socket recommendation as said above.
#5- Lionheart Runeword- A very old and beloved runeword. Quite cheap to make as well. All Resistances +30%, +50 to Life, +20 to Vitality, +15 to Dexterity, +25 to Strength. There are several more mods, but they are irrelevant here. This armor is basically a tank, adding up to 30@ resistances and 90 HP, not to mention dexterity and strength.
#6- Spirit Forge- Unique Linked Mail. +120-160% Enhanced Defense (varies), + (1.25 Per Character Level) 1-123 Life (Based On Character Level), Fire Resist +5%, Adds 20-65 Fire Damage, +15 To Strength, Gem Sockets (2). Socket preference as said above.

Oh that's right, thank you.
And my life should not be that high.
