Ethreal Bonehew: Amn-Shael, or Amn-Amn. If you wanna be a baller, get a higher % Ethy and Ohm-Ohm it, or even 40-15 40-15 it. That would be ownage. Isn't Hew's perf at 320? 320+50+50=420 ED? Perf E Bonehew at 420 ED. Jesus.
Vampire Gaze: 8 LL, 20 DR.(Assuming you're ladder. NL get the 25DR Gaze.) Ethreal would be ideal, but non ethreal is fine.
Defense is pretty irrelivant I find on mercanaries. That is, unless Defensive is the Defiance merc. I am under the impression it's the freeze merc. It's been too long and I do not remember. Defiance merc = Eth Stone for sure(or even Ethreal FOrtitude if you can afford it). If the Freeze merc, use Shaftstop. If you use Shaftstop, ethreal, again, would be ideal. IME it really does not matter. The DR is what makes your merc survive, not 300 extra defense points.
In my experience, Nightmare mercs are always better. More health and strength/dexterrity points int he long run. That's just my understanding, though. I've always baught NM Mercs.
