Well, this is my gear :
Topaz'd Shako
Nigma
Diamond'd Hoz
Hoto
Arach
2x 30 mf Nagel
Seraphs ammy
War Travs
Chanceguards...

Im more on the MF side of a hdin, and I want to switch my merc from a A2 Nightmare Def merc to a A1 Norm Cold merc.. the thing is I use an insight on my a2 merc, and im worried about how I'll tele to andy/meph/baal/etc without an insight..

My A2 Merc has :
Ral'd Eth Andys
Eth Fort
Eth CV 17 Med Insight

My A1 Merc WOULD HAVE:
Ral'd Eth Andys
Eth Fort
Ice Bow

Can anyone tell me if I should do it, but then what about my mana recharge..

If you're purely MF/Rushing, my thoughts are explained pretty well here in section 5. (http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=717499)

Basically, I feel an Act 2 Prayer merc is pretty much the bottom line. Also, if your merc dies, use Redemption to regain health and mana, or meditation to regain mana if no bodies are available. If you don't have these skills, I would suggest investing in them when you level next.

Another thing I noticed is that you don't hit the 75% FCR breakpoint. This hurts you quite a bit. I would think about swapping out the HoZ for a Spirit Paladin shield with at least 35 base res, and getting some Fire Res charms (or a high fire res ring, which is my personal preference). I'd also suggest ditching the Seraph's for a FCR amulet (any will do) if you don't end up with a 35% FCR Spirit shield.

You really do not need the Arachnid for a MFing pally, and if you use the setup I just suggested, you can replace it with a Goldwrap, giving you more MF and GF than you do right now while hitting a higher FCR breakpoint.

For more detailed reasoning, check out the guide I linked to at the top of my post.
