Ok so i recently made a goldfind barb and he is kicking some extreme ass and taking names...however, i'd like to get a might merc to boost his damage so as to increase my run time.

What is the best a2 might merc setup i could get??

Bel suggested an eth Doom cryptic axe which sounded ok, but then i realized that cold damage would leave no corpses (ie they just pop into ice cubes). This is bad for me beacuse it does not let me Find Item their corpses, which is a big part of the way i goldfind.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

botd ghost spear, eth fort, eth andariels visage. You prob want to ral it or fire res jewel it since fire res is important in trav and andariels gives -30%.

so thats why he uses an eth (or eth up'd) crown of thieves...9-12% life leech on top of botd is gonna keep him alive period. and i'd use a warpike over ghost spear, its WAY sexier imo.

If you want the merc to just survive, get some leech helm/armor and get a pride polearm, the thing that gives +18 conc. That'll boost your damage by a great deal.

i was a huge advocate of eth kelpie before Insight/Infinity/Pride came on the scene. In fact, if I HAD an eth Kelpie, I'd use it over my Insight- better for boss running. freeze merc+slow stick=not good boss.

coh is better than fort for him i think, cause he only does trav, and coh gives 200% dmg to demons, 65 res, 8 dr, 8% ll, 20 str, and 2 skills to his aura. just use an eth botd war pike or 3x lem'd eth tomb reaver for more gold find. andy visage witha good fire res jewel or 08 gaze are both good, but andy visage with a good ed/fire res jewel is best i imagine.

guys...seriously...eth crown of theives is the BEST POSSIBLE helm for a merc for trav running...and its incredibly good for most other stuff too due to having 10+ life leech and super high defense

uhh how? life leech,50 life and some fire resist with alright defense?
it's a good helm for cheap... but there are better ones for sure.
