Resists Resists Resists. And Crushing blow.
Ditch your merc's fort for a coh or smoke (more resists).
Ditch the infinity for an obedience (crushing blow and more resists)
Helm is either a kiras (more resists) or an um'ed guliamines face (more crushing blow + more resists)
It's not written in stone tho. You can keep the infinity and just stick on an ummed gulliamines for moderate crushing blow. The majority of your crushing blow you'll get from udars. For your merc, survival is the highest priority.
Your skellies look fine, but i don't think it's even possible to summon 19 udars at the same time. The first ones you summoned would be dead by the time you summoned your 19th. Anything over five is fine.
Good luck and tell us how it worked out

I just finished uber trist for the first time with my fishy, couple questions
my merc seemed to do relatively well on meph(no deaths), and baal(1-2), but diablo he did horrible. He would trick a potion or two and then just die. Ended up doing the most effective damage when he was dead and it was just my skeles swingin and some revives. He's using a eth CoH, reg insight(in a cryptic axe I think?), and I tried several helms to keep him alive including guillams, tals mask, and kiras. Nothing kept him alive... is the answer getting more dmg from my stick(eth infinity/obediance?) or higher max resists(guardian angel?) or maybe just better management of whats going on?
Also, my mages died super quick with pretty much each one, but more so once again on diablo...is this expected/okay? Pretty good gear on my nec, ~16 skeles/mages. Would +2 marrowwalks help this?

your mages wont last too long regardless, and the only reason they should be there at all is for poison/cold damage. overall i didnt even bother with them when i ubered, and i managed fine

Yes you do! You have to max all your skills and then raise your army before facing Ubers. Your inventory has 10 columns - keep one for the torch and anni if you have them, and keep nine necro summoning charms. Also consider prebuffing yourself and army with either a Call to Arms runeword or a fellow barbarian who has high level battle orders warcry. Once you are at the Uber Tristram, your merc will keep dying and this is annoying because your skellies lose that might aura. If you use a beast runeword there, the Ubers might focus their AI on you rather than your summons, so be prepared for that.
