Regarding Mercenaries

[Dallben]

When Iron Maiden gets the best of 'em, and you have to resurrect your Merc, you are forced to re-equip your weapon(infinity for example). In the process of a Chaos Sanctuary run, one might have to re-equip their Merc's weapon numerous times.

Can we fix this, so that the weapon remains intact and functional after resurrecting?

[Hrus]

No, we can't. Blizzard can. But I will bet they won't, even in the new patch which is coming soon.

I have found that to keep my mercenary's items active after resurrecting him, I cannot necessarily simply re-equip them. My sorceress' mercenary uses Infinity, so I can see when this is active because of the Conviction aura, and I have noticed, for instance:


If I re-equip his weapon it is activated, but if I then re-equip his armour, his weapon is de-activated.
If I only re-equip his helm (without first re-equipping his weapon), his weapon is activated.

Does anyone know what procedure I should follow after I resurrect him to ensure that all his items are activated? Do I only need to re-equip his helmet, or only his weapon, perhaps?
