[L] Whats the best Wind Druid Merc?

i heard act 2 merc, but which one.

i got a reapers toll and levy armor for him. but which aura one should i use? if you know pls say which difficulty hes in and type he is thanks.

Act 2 Merc with might and an insight polearm would be my guess or one with extra defence.

Why use a might merc for a wind druid?

I would get a Defiance merc with a Doom for the HolyFreeze aura or just plain HolyFreeze merc.

Why use a might merc for a wind druid?

Maybe he he thought might would boost tornado dmg?
I would say go with holy freeze merc if u got low defense and defiance if u got high defense.

Why not a prayer merc with Doom runeword?

I find that the HF merc works really well but a doom defiance or a doom prayer merc would be a nice addition to the build. The key is the slowing effect of Holy Freeze. A holy freeze merc with decrepify from ctc works extremely well for a merc.

what about a merc from act 2 with thorns??

Thorns is useless.

Anyone know if a Prayer merc with Insight would heal x 2? (Prayer is synergy to Meditation), if it works that'd be my pick.

Yes both auras would heal, meditation would heal at (prayer's rate) per 2 seconds instead of (prayer's rate) at 1 second so its more or less 1.5*prayer healing rate when both auras are on. IE the meditation healing per pulse is 1/2 prayers healing per pulse.

The control of HF aura is what you want though for anybuild needing to slow things down.

Thorns is purely damage returned based on damage recieved, you would deal equal damage to them if you can return what 500% damage when you get hit, oh and the damage must be melee (which rarely happens) healing with a prayer merc would be much much more effective.

ok so thorns is outta the question, sucks i just spent 3 days nm cowing with him getting him from lvl 43 to 78.. what a waste, how about a defiance merc for the defesne cause my defesne is only 920 and with it it becomess like 3452 or somthing

I would think a act one merc with Brand bow for the 35% Chance To Cast Level 14 Amplify Damage When Struck, what will strip phys immu. Tho the merc will have to get hit and the ones from act one don’t tend to run up front.

whats a brand bow, and has anyone ever used or made a extemerly good act 3 merc, since they can use a shield and sword, and armor and helm?

Yeah, I had a level 60 or 70 windy/melee Druid before my previous computer died and he had a pretty good Act 3 Cold mage. I would always cast hurricane, which was about level 10-15 or so. The Cold mage would hit monsters and holy freeze them while I just walked into a crowd and slow them all down with hurricane. I used a socketed flail with life and mana stealing upon hit so I could hit monsters and not have to worry about using mana potions for all the hurricane usage. If I was up against a boatload of strong monsters then I'd use Tornado to thin the crowd and then hack away at them. It was really effective I'll say that!

Well soooorrrrry for f'king up and calling it Holy Freeze you damn prick! All I'm saying is that an Act 3 cold mage worked well for me while being a druid.
