what merc to get?

[deus]

i was just wandering since i got a fire sorc if i should get a act1 cold archer, or act2 holy freeze merc...or if there was a better merc i should get...any ideas?
thanks

get act 2..anyone is good lol

[Rapta111]

All are pretty good for their own individual uses. I personally like the Act 3 mercs cuz they're flashy

hmm, if im cold sorc i would want a merc that can kill cold immunes, i heard the act5 barb is good???

Act1 because if you teleport they teleport with you and they can shoot while you are teleporting.

I personally LOVE the Act 5 Barbarians... No matter what character I'm using. Especially if you play off-of-Closed with say Cheater's Choice mod which allows your merc to have a complete set of items. How cool is it to have two IK barbs fighting alongside each other 24/7? Really cool. But even if you're not offline/Open, I find the Barb to be the most hardy and versatile of them all... But, the A2 merc auras are awesome, too. It's just something you gotta try and figure out for yourself, really.

act 2 merc is best, use holy freeze

[deus]

alright i was thinking of holy freeze merc...should i get them in hell so i dont have to lvl them up as much like i would have to if i get him in norm, or nm?

[DiscoFroMan]

act2 cold merc is the best for sorcs

[Silver Ice]

agreed with fudgehead, and u cannot get a holy freeze merc in hell, u must lvl him from nm to a higher lvl.

i like the a3 mercs, i have a fire sorc so i got my self a cold merc in a3 works great when there's those damn fire immunes

[Silver Ice]

a cold merc kills very slowly. and how would it handle moon lords who cannot be frozen?
