Question on Act 1 Merc's Inner Sight affecting Hell Baal

Does Inner Sight affect Hell Baal without suffering a penalty?

From my research, a level 90 Act 1 Merc can cast a level 28 Inner Sight, reducing nearby enemies by about 1200+ defense.

Hell Baal has a defense of 2800+. Will Hell Baal's defense be reduced to 1600+ by this skill?

Yes, Inner Sight is great and an important aspect of choosing an A1 merc. The nice thing about the IS is that it lasts for a while, so even if the merc dies, the effects of IS carry on. This is not true for another solution to AR/to-hit problems: the Blessed Aim merc. Once the merc is dead, you are on your own without the crucial AR boost.

I'm not sure if the rogue has a cap on its casting level, so you might not be getting a level28 IS from the rogue.

For example, a lot of the Act2 merc auras are capped at level 17 (or something like that). However, iirc, Might mercs don't have that cap on their aura... so who knows if rogues are capped or not.
