Imo for weapon if you want get buffs Qarak's will has no contest, and it is decent as weapon too. But if you have use for ewd buff bloodlust for your character, and you are not using it by yourself on switch, level 36 bloodlust + 250 ewd is huge.
Gloves I'd go krys for 30% slow target thunderslams (more if you combo with other items).
For damage tu light gauntlets will beat any other gloves in that slot, as they make him always hit after just few attacks, can't beat that.

Boots I think you wanna give him either akarat's trek or knight's grace if budget is not limiting you. Won't see huge returns from it but hard to come of with something better.

40% Strength is pretty high and it will bonus a lot for merc because of
Heroic Strength

Per strength point: Enhanced Weapon Damage +1%
Per strength point: Regenerate Life +1
Per strength point: +0.25 Energy Factor to Spell Damage


I'm playing Trap Rat and not using the tri-element build so I need a merc that does elemental damage and there is Warmonger. The Area affects attack works well too. Also the 10% chance to avoid damage plus high strength (my merc has 5k6 strength) make it almost immortal.

eth carsomyr -10% physical damage reduction, maybe put XIS runes if i can afford them...
warmonger - 10% avoidance / area damage <------ MUST
akarats
creepy crafted guantlets <---- couldn't equip Khazra if i don't have this maybe i should switch the jewels for all 2%strength then I can put better gloves?
Khazra plate <------ MUST (I think)
Klaatu amulet...
Ashera's armor belt <--- 10% physical damage reduction.

merc never dies in Fauntz.
He does die rarely in Bremms when I teleport and something weird happens and he just dies... usually after teleport he can AoE damage and kill the mobs.
