Summoner Merc Question

[DevilsWrath]

Obviously im gonna use a might merc for him, but Im wondering what equip would be the best for something like pvp or uber running?

[shijo]

Don't know much about pvp, but for pvm definately one of the best setups is Infinity (in eth CV or CA), Guillaume's face (ber'd, 40/15, etc) and an ethereal Fort.

"Obviously a might merc" for a summoner.

Not obviously. I have two "summoner" chars, one a lvl 86 Lord of Mages (11 mages, 7 skelies, and a fire golem. I mostly curse Lower Resist.

With a Prayer merc, I can go make tea in Hell (sometimes to be shocked in Act 5, I will admit). One looks occasionally, curses, and recasts to fill up the ranks now and again.

Can anyone direct me to a discussion of the effects of various Mercs with skeletons?

Sorry for forgetting, the other character, more skeletons than mages, with mostly Amplify Damage cast, has just hit lvl 35, and it sails just as well with the prayer merc, but it might be too early to tell.

Just wait until you hit Hell. Things start to take a turn for the worse.

My necro just got done soloing hell and is now lvl 80. He uses:
Shako
Maras
Soj
Rare fcr ring
Arach
Marrows
Trang gloves
Hoto
Homun
Bp enigma
10 summon gcs and 9 scs of vita and an anni

on switch 6 bo cta crystal sword and spirit monarch.
Also has a beast zerker in stash for when things get nasty.

My merc uses Giant skull, fortitude boneweave, and infinity colossus voulge. With might and fant active my merc hits a little over 9k dmg with about 3k life so he's not too bad.

One thing i like doing in hell is summoning a bunch of revives to help my skellies and mages. My favorites are Souls, Blunderbores, Council Members, and some abyss knights with all their various spells and curses. I'm hoping with this setup I can do the 3 ubers, but i hear meph is really bad. Any ideas/opinions?
