Fort over treach will never be decided -.- the argument rages on. If your merc has either setup with good battle orders, they’re gonna be super strong and it’s more about how you position with teleport when there is a crazy cursed aura enchanted boss pack.

Since they’re both strong, assuming fade is up, unless you can’t afford the Lo rune, id rather not have any time when my merc is more vulnerable.

Andy is trash, the non fire res kills merc almost instantly against a pack of venom or whatever other lords.

IMO the ias argument on treach is only relevant if a Mercenary carries a good amount of crushing blow and slow (ie cold aura) since fade will be down sometimes..

only might merc should use treachery (except on hdin where you can have freeze and treachery is still good)

Deli for the curse, crowd control magic...agreed as best helm for merc levels where you no longer need the star boost from Andy.
