If you can afford one,give him a reapers toll thresher.It packs chance to cast decripify,which lowers enemy physical resistance,damage & speed by 50%.So..they'd take more damage from you,deal less damage & attack slowly.

Apart from that, onboard leech & itd,its just plain supreme.He'd hit often due to itd,therfore trigger often & leech more life & stay alive due to frequent hits.Your merc can tank baal with that thing.

If not go with bonehew with amn runes.

edit: Damn.you already have bonehew,I thought you were asking for weapon choice,ok then for gear:A levi would do great,an eth shaft is fine as well.For helmet either vampiregaze for dr & leech or guillaumes face for cb/deadly.

A Doom ethereal cryptic axe is a great choice as well, since it has huge damage, gives your merc +2 to his aura, and gives him the holy freeze aura as well.

Helm-wise, a Ral'd Andariel's Visage is pretty much the best helm you can get for a merc, since it has +2 skills, huge defense, life leech, 20% ias, +strength for more damage, and massive poison resist, which is generally a merc's biggest threat. The Ral rune will remove the negative resist penalty. Ethereal one would be godly.

I`d use reaper`s toll as weapon with/without soket - shael if soketed. Head - Crown of ages with 1 or 2 15%ias jewels. Body - Guardian angel.

very hard to choose between reapers and doom but personally i like modifiers so id go with a holy freeze merc with eth reapers and eth andys (like hal said) and the good ol eth shaft stop

Well it depends,if you are conc/frenzy with some ctc goodies like amp,lifetap etc-youd want to choose doom since decryipify creates overriding issues. Doom is better for zerkers as well,since their dmg is magical,decripify's main benefit of -50% physical resists is knocked out of the equation & doom's freeze effect becomes really attractive.

but if you are ww,nothing beats reapers.CTC doesnt work & due to the relatively lower per hit dmg of ww & no synergies,decrypify provides a rocket boost to your damage output.
