the only way to improve your conv level with a merc is to use a barbarian from act5 because he gets use from +skills

Hmmm...  I'd need to run two chars on two PCs and hostile myself to verify, so I'll take your word...

now you get -150 resis at skilllevel 63 i think
-150 isn't the cap but as far as i know above 150 there isn't any use

Is this tabled out anywhere? Is the first level still -30%? Is the progression still linear?

Samel 2.0:
I don't know tables... but one easy way for  testing (at least for assuming) linearity  might be creating a SP testchar... if it's linear till Level 30, then it should be linear till the cap. Most (all?) non-linear skills decrease rather early (like Fade, BoS, etc).

Or maybe someone with high-Level Conviction on his Char posts the developing of the skill up from Level 30?

Phoenix:
The Level 97 Act5 Merc (from Nightmare difficulty) has only a Level 6 Conviction Aura!
(Firstly I thought the Aura starts with -20% and therefore I got Level 11 Aura as the result)
The progression is still linear but it is decreased to 2% per Level instead of 5% per Level in LoD.
As far as I know the aura is still capped at -150% what you reach with Level 61 (30% + 60 x 2% = 150%).
If you give your Act5 Merc the Ãœberbelt his skilllevel will only increase by 4-8 (+3 Conviction and + 1-5 Allskills).

AoATheAvenger:
so those barabrians are kind of useless now since there is a runeword wit lvl 12 conv...+

€: thanks at testers :)

webwalker:
level 12 conviction in any merc is easy: Infinity -52% resistance in targets (assuming conviction level of a "when equipped" aura is NOT boosted by +skill equip on the same character).

At level 97 the a5 merc has native level 6 + Bartucs + Diva + "blood" belt + "blood" crafted flail +2 all = level 26.

This is more than double the 12 of Infinity, with 26 => -84% (which is not double the -%resists effect)

Since we aren't breaking immunities through Conviction/LowerResists, I'll favor an Infinity in an a2 or a3 merc to a +skill barb merc.

Note: a5 merc is *merc* not "barb merc" or "pally merc" so neither +barb nor +pally boosts the a5 merc Conviction aura.
