after upgrading your gear to some rw's/crafts did you get some basic charms? get the easy ones as soon as you can.
you can also use lucky oils on all your gear or craft some jewels to improve your stats.
but getting the charms should be easy if you reached a3.

What impact does the difficulty you hire a merc in have on its stats?

I've seen some posts recommending to hire your mercs on Hatred for best stats and wanted to verify.

For reference, I made a quick set of screenshots comparing the hire lists for Act 1 mercs across the three difficulties (Hatred, Terror, Destruction). The third row in each screenshot has a LVL 114 Ranger for easy comparison.

The Terror mercs actually seem good here for the increased life. Or would the higher def on the Hatred versions be better? The differences are a little more pronounced on the other Merc types with higher Life / DEF

What's the recipe for rerolling the numbers of an unique ring? I don't want a different unique, just a higher roll.

There isn't a recipe for that, best you can do is roll it as unique (2 arcane crystals + oil of enhancement) and hope you get the same ring with better stats, but odds are pretty low for that and it won't work with SU rings. You're kinda stuck with what you've got.

can help, also there are some TU weapons which give a bit of resists (Amazon has a maiden pike and I think stag bow, Necro has a stinger crossbow, Assassin can get a naginata etc). Also farm some cash, sell apples and jewelery, sell all rare items, it will take a while to get enough gold for orbs in a1-a2 hatred but it's definitely doable.
