Hi all! I wanted to increase the hp level of my merc from act 5. And when I filled the sockets with Lem runes (+%hp), I saw in d2stat that Me = 0. Which means an increase % doesn't make sense. Is this a bug?

Mercs don't have a vitality stat. They just have a life pool.

They don't scale off vit for HP. They scale purely from HP or HP% affixes.

I understand correctly that the Lem rune is useless for Merc?
How then can I make my merc more tanky?
Thx for answers

Give him phys res, max res, and stack strength on him.

If you really want him to have more life you can socket demonstone blood jewels in his gear with a +1% max life roll. Im not a fan of those
