So here are my stupid question:
1/ If the items equipped on mercenary have stats like %Chance to find magic items or Gold Find, will them be also effective to my current stats? Like if my mercenary has 10% chance to find magic items, I have 20%, so does that mean i have 30% magic find?
2/ About veteran monster, i have read the doc and it says "Fairy Witch: Canyon of the Magi", I have fought like 10 times in Canyon of Magi and I could not see her here, so Where can I actually find her?
3/ Which mercenary is good for helping me to fight uber levels?
4/ I am playing Amazon with Pouncezon build, have 310k defense, 100k-151k damage (poisonous damage is huge), 300+% all resists, so am I good enough to Kill Baal in Destruction level? Because... I was not sure if I am still weak when Baal just did one hit and my Amazon died immediately.... What should I improve?
Thanks for your help. :)

1, if the mercenary kills something, it has X% of his OWN MF, not yours.
2 its in the canyon of the mages, but theres a small chance.
3 thats depends on your class/build
4 I dont think going pounce is the best way to kill baal on dest, but try using your spellbind uberskill

1) no , MF on mercenary will count only for what he/she kills

2) keep re-trying / re-rolling the map . they must spawn there

3) it depends on what character you play and what kind of help do you need. for example : playing a glasscannon/ranged builds usually go for a tanky mercenary (barbarian) . If you allready are tanky enough , get a ranged mercenary to deal heavy damage from behind you

4) use paragon to get more life and survive more hits . you can't kill him if you're dead , can you? better deal less damage and have more chances to survive , instead of having huge damage but getting 1-shot .

good luck !

Fairy Witch, is she killable? Because she is a "Witch", reminds me the actually Witch who can kill me with only one teleport. xDD
Yeah, you maybe right, i was focus on making too high damage, but i have low health (only 4k) and defense.

yes , she is killable , it got nothing to do with the untargetable witches that 1-shot- pounce you when doing the minigame (they don't even look the same) . Beware of the heavy fire damage those veterans deal... get good resistances .

4k is ok , only if you're on hatred :D

destruction baal is harder than half of the ubers . did you get some charms ?

DBaal is harder to do with a pouncezon because you deal mostly magic (no magic pierce MO's) and poison damage (Baal is immune to poison). Amazon dies in 1 hit because you have a glowing glyph above your head - debuff which make you shatter from any hit. The solution is never fight Baal standing still for too long. Use hit and retreat startegy, otherwise you will be smashed by Shardspawns or, when they die, getting 1-shot debuff easily.

Yeah I am trying to follow what your guide said, lmao. It seems that I've missed something from it.

Indeed, respec'ing to bowazon is easier since she does four-elemental damage and is safer and faster than pouncezon vs Baal. I was lazy to respec, because DBaal is doable with using Great Hunt anyway, it just takes about 40-50 mins.
