Act 1 Rogue Merc gear suggestions to help Riftadin

[NovaBurst]

I have a new Riftadin going and I would like to pair him with an Act 1 merc. Mainly because I'm bored of Act 2 mercs. After reading the suggested gear in the guide for that type of merc, I wondered if you guys could give me some other suggestions since that gear is very pricey. I don't mind a little high end, but multiple Jah's and Ohm's are a little hard to come by.

Thanks!

I always liked Ice. With the Orb of Rift folks will slow to a crawl. But its a Jah and a Lo. Faith would be awesome so you could use Convinction as your main aura. Also expensive. I'd like to see what kind of Kuko could do with a fire rogue (wearing dragon maybe).

I always like Delerium as a helm. Throws out a Confuse aura for crowd control. VGaze would probably be best for her though.

Delirium on a Rogue merc is hilarious when it casts Delirium. She turns into a bone fetish, but keeps shooting arrows anyway. Best thing in the entire game? Maybe...

Agreed....

Delirium's ctc Confuse --> Very effective crowd control
Harmony --> Vigor
Riphook --> 30% slow and OW

Other than those (and Faith) I can't think of anything else that'll make you merc more than a minor distraction :P

passion/silence -> blinds on hit
blackhorns face -> light immune + 20% slow
trachery -> fast attacks

Thanks all, there are some great suggestions here! Keep'em coming if you got'em!

Well I was going to show you how a fire Rogue could do 50,000+ damage in one hit, then I realized that exploding arrows are bugged. Lame.

try 'silence' crusader bow- great crowd control

Wrath is an expensive but awesome RW. 30 ctc Decrep, 5 ctc LT, 20 CB, elemental Damage.
