The tankiest merc is a2 shapeshifter for free pr or a3 merc for overall def with built-in warp armor. Haven't tested a5 mercs in a long time since their health was reduced.HitZ wrote:Is there a particular reason that I have missed by you using Queen of Glass instead of Enneads Bane?
Yes I'm bad at the game. I actually used a t1 armor that dropped with light pierce all the way until I replaced it with a craft at level 110, then I forgot about sorc armor later when I wrote this guide and filled in the early game armor section.

I thought that you might wanna stack some armor to scale Warp Armor for some extra defense and that you use high str TUs that require lot of str so that probably is good to not spread alot of points between str dex and energy. Enneads bane is higher dps possibly?
