This needs to be updated haha, you can now use Insight, Cure Helm, and Skin of the Flayed One and he heals close to 100 HP/Sec.

LOL YOU HAVE AN EMILIO TOO!!! Dude, the number of times I’ve yelled “Emilio, GET OUT OF THERE! EMILIOOOOOO!!!” the last week has been insane. My wife knows the name of my mercenary at this point. Pretty sure he’s part of the family now. I ended up with Emilio because he was the literal ONLY person with the right aura in the entire shop when I first went there, but he has the best name hands down.

[@bruteboy123]

D2 is the shit

[@StateOfShock]

Just FYI holy freeze doesn’t apply a freeze, it’s an aura with cold damage that applies a slow. So items like raven frost do not work against it, also that is why cold immunes in hell still get slowed. Just something nice to know

[@szabolcskecskes]

Its a "chill" effect actually, what slows down enemies. There is a type of blood lord in act 5 what has a mod "can nto be chilled" those are not effected by the holy freeze slow effect.

[@Atrigraphy]

My merc dies when monsters just look at him. This guide will help a lot! =)

[@sepg5084]

Life leech and higher damage is a huge help, but mine still dies when he gets ganged-up upon or when he tries to go toe-to-toe with Andariel. He currently has an Insight on a Thresher and Tal Rasha's helm, but has crappy armor. Looks like i will be making a Treachery for mine once i get a Lem rune since i already got a 3 socket elite armor on the ready, or a Smoke once i get a two socket elite armor. Hopefully that is enough for him to face Andariel and not die, i currently can't kill Andariel quick enough to save him.

So funny to watch this video while my merc is literally carrying me in most of my Hell farming with Reaper's toll, Andariel's visage and Fortitude in Eth Archon plate.

[@anthonyweston5588]

Crown of thieves is a solid choice for that life steal! Or a tals if you can’t find the crown

[@omfgloot302]

probably a tip most people know but when farming keep an eye out for ethereal weps in nm cows or if you can handle hell cows preferably. Look for 4 sockets or use a socket quest on the best wep you can find (thresher) because of the low cost to use. Pop a ral-tir-tal-sol in that bad boy and you'll be good to go on mana. Lionheart is also another good word for armor which will get your Merc to max res. Even with a blue life leech circlet you'll be good to go for quite some time.

[@ProjectDevilEye]

You don't mention Vampire Gaze? 15-20% damage reduce + life steal is godly for a merc. Shaftstop body armor as well for 35% damage reduce, both incredibly solid budget choices.

I would hardly consider Emilio pointless for cold builds. Several reasons. 1: with his ai the way it is, it's hard to predict when he's going to rush into a pack before you're ready and having him apply his aura to immediately freeze stuff is actually quite useful. 2: found out the hard way that cold immune mobs won't take a chill from my skills, but will take a chill from his aura. As ultimately tested at length against the cold immune mini boss in the final wave on baal. Nothing I did would apply a chill to that guy. Emilio came In clutch and face tanked that bastard turning it into a Smurf for the 10 minutes it took for him to kill it.

[@AmountStax]

Treachery + vampire gaze(with cham) are best combo. Fade is insane. So much res, damage reduction, and most importantly the curse reduction. Curses are what kill your merc. No other armor can compete. It even hits a faster hit recovery break point. Then with vamp gaze gives you another 20% damage reduction with 8% life steal. Oh, I should stress, treachery isn't just the 'budget' option, it is BY FAR best in slot. Vamp gaze is best with the life steal+damage reduction. Andariels doesn't give a significant AS breakpoint and it's only 2% life steal for the loss of 20% damage reduction. Thieves is 12% life steal but again, 20% damage reduction is more valuable.

[@xfranchize]

Ya or shaftstop. Cant go wrong either.

All mercs died when they are facing a huge pack of Lords of Hell with Amplify Damage, Iron Maiden, Mana Burning or any other enchant. Huge Pack Blacks Souls are terrible especially when joined 3uniques and 4 champions monsters

The most important part when choosing your A2 merc is the name. Take your pick of Might or Holy Freeze and join new games until there's an Emilio with your preferred aura.

[@mylvin3183]

"Infinity breaks the immunity of almost all monsters". Yeah this pretty much only goes for lightning immunities. You can also at times not even break lightning immunity when you run into a lightning immune unique. In said circumstance its not even possible with level 25 conviction on a Paladin to break it.

the Fade from treachery also decrease the amount of time you are cursed and have 10% physical damage reduction, Under helmets, 2 options not mentions is Vampire Gaze good life leech (up to 8%) and up to 20% physical damage reduction. and the runeword Bulwark, for 5% more life and 4-6% lifeleach. a budget armor like shaftstop is also worth considering for the 30% physical damage reduction.

get ancients pledge (3 open socket shield, Ral+Ort+Tal) gives around 48% resist in most all resistances, its a good shield for normal. and stock up on Full rejuvenations pots (3 rejuvs combined through cube, instant full health and mana pots). You only need like 3 of them for Diablo, but make 6 just in case. You can make 1 partial rejuv by combining 3 of any health and mana pots and a chipped gem of any kind in the cube so just buy the cheapest pots (minor).

1. Runewords working only on white or grey(ghost) item-bases. Grey one can not be repaired but have +50% more base armor or dmg(for ghost weapon). But merc can not break they weapons or armor so it is great for them. Likely you try blue item or higher. 2. This runeword added in 2.6 patch so if you play illegal old version - this will not work. 3. It is season-only. To make it you need to play on-line on curent season. You can not have it offline.
