Assuming you're just looking for a walking Conviction aura that does as much damage as possible?....neh thats pretty much it, there's not many variables to worry about

eth Vgaze might be the other option at helmet, for the DR and LL and cold for a little more tankability at the expense of an IAS bp or two

Eth Thresher would be the other alternative. Same DPS, but faster attack speed, so more hits (=more procs, more chances to trigger innate aura, etc.)

Of course if you're MFing then there's a whole different philosophy to equipping your merc

all upto own preferences.

some people like CoA ber + ber with shaftop

others like GA with kira

3rd people's prefer Gbane + Gaze

4th prefer Treachery with CoT

all depends what you want your merc to do.

You've chosen the most popular setup.

However, it is not optimal for finishing off unbreakable immunes. A GT/GPA base would be better than a CA. Also, Guillaume's + CoH is better most of the times: the extra CB will be better than 300%ed vs high hp foes, and it is rare that 300%ed will require 1 less jab to finish off a low hp monster.

This is especially the case when he already has quite some off-weapon ED (e.g. Might aura).

In any case, do not switch to defensive setups if your merc is not dying.
