Find an etheral armour (auto +50% Def) socket it using the cube and get an extra 50% def, effectively doubling the base def of the armour....make runeword in said armour, stick on merc.

its not just a 50% increase of the base, its a 50% increase of the defense including the first ethereal 50% bonus.
a 700 def eth one would become 1050 when bugged. 750 would become 1125 and so on. This is how sacred armors can get 1300+ def (up to 600 on plain white, so 900 ethereal, 1350 ethereal bugged)
