If you want to keep your Merc alive, life leech, res, and damage reduction is what you need. Having a higher level Merc is good too, the same build with a low 70s vs a mid high 80s merc was a lot different farming the same areas.

Armor should be Treachery, but a good Leviathan isn't bad either. Helm should be Tals Helmet till you can upgrade to Gaze or Andys


i have treachery and Gaze and insight but he dies like a fly, hes res is bad tho 52 resisit :P

make sure to proc his fade before you put him in an intense area such as Travincal for example.
Treachery has chance to proc lvl 15 Fade

Lvl 15 Fade:
79% Reduced Curse Duration
60% All Resistances
15% Damage Reduce

My merc uses Treachery, Andariel's Visage and Insight.
I do Nihlathak,Pindle,Meph,Travincal,Andariel,Mausoleum in 4-5 minutes depending on how lucky I am with pathing. Keep in mind my sorc only does 4500 blizz dmg so she's slow.
Merc procs Fade before Travi which is all that matters. Now and then I'd throw a Juv in his direction if he's poisoned+tanks hydra/blizzards and melee dmg while being amped in travi. Except for that, he's gucci

If you dont want to think maybe D3 would be more suitable :D

I think you should do a quick search and attempt to learn some things before asking others to explain it to you, but thats just me. Start with diminishing returns.

400 is fine but if you are sacrificing kill speed for mf then you're kinda shooting yourself in the foot

Use treachery

If your insight base sucks then your mercs leech is weak
More dmg = more leech

Merc lvl matters too, if he's a scrub he's gonna get pwned

400 is too much imo. 200 is the sweet spot.

for merc gface treachery and reapers maybe. as a sorc you don't need insight.

you don't have ll in this scenario. you can put an um in gface. or even a pruby. something to help teh merc. or even a 15 ias jewel.

use static field as well.
