The Best Merc Armor on Torch Runs....

[FirstDown_Again]

I'm wondering what the best Merc Armor would be for my Merc while combating the Ubers during Torch runs. I've got a 4 socket, Ethereal BoneWeave. Its defense is in the 1100s right now, and its empty. I've been considering,

Fortitude -- 200% Enhanced D, 20 - 30 Res All, 20% Chance Cast lvl 15 Chilling Armor.

Chains of Honor -- +65 Res only 70% Enhanced D

Stone -- 60% FHR, 250% - 290% Enhanced D. Res only +15.

I cant decide which to try and make. Is there one I'm looking over that would be better for a merc ? thanks.

Your merc will love you for the resists that Chains of Honor has... please don't rule that one out.

Dol Um and Ist are fairly easy to come by by doing forge rushes, or trading stuff you can quite easily shop from NPC's

My merc can stand upto every mini-uber with his eth-glitchy stone, but for actualy running the uber trist area, the merc is going to die anyways, so...
