MERCENARY Equipping a mercenary early on can be extremely difficult as finding a 4-Socket Polearm ( for Insight Runeword ) can take a distribute of time, however, if you manage to do that, you should decidedly employ a Merc as it will help you on your ventures. Please note that the below-mentioned recommendations can turn out to be quite expensive, specially early on on .
We recommend picking up Act 2 Defiance Mercenary for extra wrong extenuation bonuses. He should be equipped with :

1. Insight Rune Word in Ethereal Spear – This provides a Meditation Aura that increases our Mana Recovery Rate which is extremely helpful. 
2. Fortitude Rune Word in Armor – This Runeword gives solid defenses that are necessary to keep your merc alive. 
3. Vampire Gaze – An extremely solid and versatile headgear that will make your merc much more durable. 
4. The rest of the Merc’s equipment will mainly depend on your budget and drops – focusing on items with extra defense, life/vitality, life leech, or offensive mods (like crushing blow) is generally a good idea.
