Mercenary guides

• https://diablo2.diablowiki.net/Guide:Mercenary_Guide_v1.10

• Merc gets the most XP if they kill the monster themselves. To keep in mind if merc is lagging behind.
• Equip: Life Steal, to keep him alive in fight (for melee merc only).
• Equip: Increased Attack Speed. Allow merc to leech even more.
• Equip: Crushing blow, a good boss killer.
• Equip: Slow target item, nearly as good as damage reduction items.
• Equip: Mana leech *useless*.
• Merc MF stacks with player MF, but only if merc does the kill. Important when dealing with boss.
• Use Full Rejuvenation (rather than Healing), heals faster. Use cube recipes to make such potions.
• Thaw / Anti potion time stacks up. Feed your merc before a killing session.
• *...and much more information to read again later...*
