Merc for PvP bowazon?

Act 2 NM Might/Conc merc with 'Pride' runeword gives huge damage bonus. Only problem is in PvP without teleport he will die fast, like all mercs. It doesn't help that he charges towards enemy players. In PvM the problem is he isn't as disposable as Valkyrie but he dies quite easily unless I knock mobs away from him since I don't have teleport to reset his position.

Act 1 'Ice' runeword or 'Harmony' runeword. I have Harmony on switch but it is still nice to have it while my Faith is out. Better survivability all around for PvP and PvM, and may actually have a chance to shoot down enemy players in PvP, though her chances of survival aren't that much better than the Act 2 merc. Only thing holding me back from choosing this merc is the fact that with the Act 2 merc, at least he augments my guided arrows with both Concentration AND Might aura before he goes down. This merc has the potential to be useless, missing all her shots and then biting the dust.

TL;DR - Act 2 Might/Conc (damage output) vs. Act 1 Rogue (survivability) for both PvM or PvP? Which to choose?

In my opinion you shouldn't even bother thinking about a merc for pvp. It's just not worth having one around for a lot of reasons ...


On my pvp bow/poison hybrid I use an act 3 cold merc with a last wish phase blade while doing pvm :whistling:

Yeah mercs are too squishy in PvP to count on for anything. I'd say go with an A2 HF merc with Pride....he'll give you a little damage boost on your first few arrows, and his HF might slow down your enemy for a tick or two and give you maybe one more shot before he closes in to melee range. 'Bout all he's good for, I think.

When i pvm with my pvp bowa i use an A1 Merc with Harmony: run even faster than you did before ;)

Mercs are worthless in pvp IMO. Like everyone said here, they die way too fast in pvp.
