Re: The Questions Thread
Woestave is a great Weapon for your merc, esp. against Bosses - Open wounds, slows target (capped at 50% per item - so Kelpie isn't better in this), Hit Blinds target, Freezes target... If you have the spare runes, you can upgrade it once - here's what a perfect Woestave would look like compared to a "normal" one:

Note, that upping it twice would result in very steep stat requirements: 179 Strength and 99 Dex...but unless your rich on Lum and Puls, I wouldn't recommend that
Oh, and if it's ethereal - it's definitely worth it. Kelpie is better damage-wise though...so it's up to you what you rather use. But I used the above posted Woestave on my untwinked Hammerdin and it definitely worked.
