Act 5 Mercs
Olfmo:
yeah right the only useful merc is the rogue....
actually my act5 barbarian lived for about 15 complete cgs dungeon games until he died by iron maiden
it always depends on your character build which merc is the best one and even then everybody has a different opinion :)

@ DarkKatGirl: I scratch behind the ears, you purr?
Act 1 mercs are rather powerful, especially when you note that any merc can use any weapon that is not class-specific (and act-5 mercs can use barb-specific hats and belts). This means that the rogue can wield a Doom rune-word Thunder Maul (after being made ethereal and made easier to use with Oil of Skill) so she can have a Holy Freeze aura. Also she can use a Faith rune-word bow, so she has a Fanaticism aura. Etc. Act 1 mercs use a skill depending on the difficulty they're in. In Normal/PoC they always use fire/cold arrow. In Nightmare/LR, they always use frozen/exploding arrow. In Hell/CGS they always use freezing or immolation arrow.
By contrast, the act 2 merc uses the aura determined by the difficulty where you hire them. Thus an offensive merc from hell always uses fanaticism.
Act 3 mercs have a set of spells that they use determined by their level (you're 24 and he's 23 then he won't use Blizzard yet.)
Act 5 mercs have a conviction aura, but it's fairly weak.
Olfmo:
i beg to differ about the conviction aura
it may not be the highest but with a good equipment it's very useful if you can't use uber belt for having it on your own
offtopic question: what does "purr" mean? from the context i'd guess it's the sound a cat makes if you scratch it and it enjoys it?
i am just curious cause i never heard that word before :D
webwalker:
You've agreed with me about the conviction aura: it needs a boost to become really significant?
Yes, "purr" is the soft-growl sound of a contented cat.
Olfmo:
actually no i think the aura is strong enough
a high level conviction merc has a lvl 11 conv aura
with + skills from some items it is at about 20
would it be much higher i think it was too strong for a merc
