Might Merc Catwalk

[EuroJamie]

Just wondered what everybody's Might Mercs are wearing this season. I'd be interested to know, as I'm trying to kit mine out to make him an uber killing machine :yep:

I've equipped mine with Guillame's Face and Rattlecage armour. I've got an Arioc's Needle (+4 skills :winner: ) that I'm in the process of levelling him up to use.

This gear will give me a combined 60% Crushing Blow (hat and coat) and 65% Deadly Strike (hat and weapon). The Hit Causes Monsters to Flee mod on the armour isn't really that irritating, as I normally catch em with my CE. Only problem looks as though it's gonna be a lack of leech, but I'm hoping to get round this by socketing the spear with an Amn.

Let me know if you think this sounds viable, or you have any suggestions for improvement. Also, does anybody know how CB and DS work in conjunction with each other - are they mutually exclusive?

Many thanks for your input,

EJ

Why not put some points in life tap?

Hadn't thought of that - I may well give it a go. Thanks

Guillame's Face
Bonehew with Amn/Amn
Leviathan

Duriel's shell is another good armor choice. It's got good resists and cannot be frozen mod. It's really great upgraded (around 1500 def).
Most of my mercs use Reaper's toll. It has a chance of cursing enemies with decrepify. Can be annoying if you're a poison necro though, so in that case ethereal Bonehew with two Amns in can be better.
Gaze, Tal's mask and Guillame's face are all nice helm choices. I would suggest Giant skull too, as it's got 10 crushing blow, 1-2 socks and +strength.

Mine uses Guillame's Face for his helm (unsocketed-thinking about putting some resists in there).

Bramble Scarab Husk for his armor. It has level 17 thorns.

Weapon is a 366%ED/14LL Ethereal Breath of the Dying Ghost Spear.
