ACT3 Mercs

Hey there....

are these guys actually worth having as a merc when you get to hell?

i know you can really up there casting rate with the right items which ofcourse is very cool.... BUT.... do these guys actually do the damage?

for instance will a lighting act3 merc help at all?

many thanks :jig:

edited bit: and if so does anyone know a link or something on how much damage they do? many thanks

Re: ACT3 Mercs

It's not always you choose a merc because for his damage.

Since they don't melee, they can be valuable in places where IM is a problem. An act 3 ice merc with a lawbringer sword gives great crowd control in the CS.

the problem is i wont be attacking myself.... im going to be making a GF/MF barb - i know everyone recommends a ACT2 merc... but i was thinking about an uber crazy caster act3 merc...but i really didnt know if they are effective at all in hell?

thanks for the reply stephan :alright:

Re: ACT3 Mercs

For GF Act 2 mercs are definitely the best/cheapest. Elemental immunities are too common and indeed the damage is not that high.
