Well Hello again everyone.

With my recent cd "problems" I've had some time to take a break from leveling and wonder what I should do about my Freezealots Merc.

Currently he is level 38, with around
11 points in Holy Freeze
8 points in Holy Shield
6 points in Cold Resist
7 points in Zeal
And Various prerequesits.

The plan is of course, so max Holy Freeze, and Zeal, and their Synergies

Anyway right now I'm using a Act 1 Fire Arrow Merc, that I've had since quest 2. She has some ethereal armour and helm on, with a 3 socketed battle bow that I made for her with a Ral, and some P Gems for more damage.

She actually doesn't die as often as I thought she would. I've never kept a Act 1 merc for this long before. Her Fire complements my Ice quiet nicely, and I expect if I ever get a good bow for her she will be able to kill again quiet nicely.

My question is simple! Which Merc do you guys recommend? Keep in mind that I have no gear, and wont be able to twink my merc.

I almost always use an Act 2 Merc with my characters. Might, or Blessed Aim. Anyway, I was hoping not to use one this time around, simple for a change. I could use an act 3 Fire merc, or an Act 3 cold merc, for extra freezing (but not much use against Cold Emunies) or an Act 4 Barb Maybe? Or do you think I should keep Wendy (my act 1 Merc?) What do you think?

Thanks for your time!

If you want to stay away from Act 2 Mercs, I'd suggest a Barb. Act 1 and Act 3 Mercs just aren't very strong, whereas an Act 4 Merc might actually take some hits for you.

If you don't mind delving back into the world of Act 2 Mercs, Blessed Aim would probably help you the most untwinked.
