chaos and pits?

cat's eye
nos coil
dual ravenfrosts
tal's mask or stealskull with IAS jewel
laying of hands for the 350 demon ED
war travs or gores

try to hit 50 IAS for an 8/2 strafe, 7/2 at 9x IAS is overkill

With a high enough lvl zon you can run these 2 areas with MF gear.

I've done both with a WWS zon wearing:

Chance Guards 40%
Gold Wrap 30%
Wealth runeword armor 100%
War Travs 41%

WWS bow
Highlords Wrath ammy
Tal's mask

Plenty of Resist and MF charms in invintory kept me safe and happy with the drops.

The big bonus on this gear is the Gold Find. If you equip your Merc with another Wealth armor and Tarnhelm (50% MF, 75% GF, +1 to all skills) you end up with a LOT of gold. This can then be used to gamble with and revive your merc when he goes down in Chaos due to Iron Maden.

I like to gamble for Ammy's which have +3 skills and Life or Mana or some other usefull mod like FCR or Luck (35% MF)
