I'm mainly taking wall/prison for synergies, though I suppose I'll have them hotkeyed for emergencies but i'll be primarily using teeth/spear/spirit. I'm guessing in that case a HF merc (or defiance) will be the better choice since I went the pure VITA route anyway.Tengu said:Perhaps the best options for a bonemancer merc are
Holy Freeze merc (or a Defiance/Might merc with a "Doom" weapon)
or
Rogue Merc (cold)
The choice is entirely yours. HF merc can tank, but if you use bone wall &/ prison,you don't need a tank. Other mercs, like the act5 barbarians can also be used effectively (if you want such a merc). Just pick the one that suits your playing style.
Once I get to A2 Hell, I'm going to pick myself up a Defiance Merc, since I went the pure VIT route with my 'mancer (without summons or curses). I just did all of NM with a few other players my level (no one above 48 'til A5) so I think I'm pretty safe in terms of damage. Just need that extra boost to def.prion said:I've found that I want ALL the corpses I can get my hands on (but then, I also use Revives) so personally I would not use the HF merc. I use a barb merc right now but i'm considering switching to a might merc.
