Best setup for a merc

That sounds pretty good to me.

Levi is best for any melee character that i can think of.

Well, my merc wears levi, and andy's too. But I have him wearing some other weapon besides bonehew because bonehew does less damage.

Bonehew does less damage than What?

Also, since nobody will probably ever find one of those jewels, what runes, or gems, or more common jewels would you reccomend putting in the armor and helm? (Amns stay in bonehew to keep the merc alive unless someone has a much better suggestion.)

On my mercy he uses an Eth Stone, and an Eth Thresher "cresent Moon" i used to have a gaze for him but i seem to have mis placed it...hmmm? but thats my set up and once he is lvl 84 he will be usin a 3Skt Cryptic Axe Tomb Reaver with AmnAmnAmn...

i used to have a nearly perfect eth crown of the thieves
eth schaft or upped shaft

Oh ya, what's your merc for anyway? pindle? duel? or what? andy?

Bonehew does less damage than What?

He uses Stillpillar, gives def% bonus too which is nice.
