Last Updated on October 17, by Samuel Franklin Diablo 2 Best Mercenary — D2 Merc Guide Choosing the best Diablo 2 mercenary or merc for your character is a vital consideration in your ease of progression and often overlooked by the new D2 player for just how powerful they can be, particularly for the solo playthrough.
Diablo 2 Mercenaries — Different In Each Act Each act in Diablo 2 offers different themed mercenaries that can be hired to fight for the player and come with their own strengths.
The Diablo 2 mercenaries from each act can be summarised as follows: Act 1 Rogues : Rogues hired from the first game act are restricted to using general bows and come with either cold or fire arrow and inner sight for their abilities.
Players earn one for free after defeating Blood Raven which is generally your first experience with mercenaries. Act 2 Desert Warriors : Melee fighters that can equip the various two handed spears, javelins and polearms and use the Jab skill. They also come with an aura that varies based on the difficulty and their specialisation that makes them the best D2 merc for the vast majority of situations.
Act 3 Iron Wolves : Offering a spell caster option to Diablo 2 mercenaries the iron wolves specialise in fire inferno and fireball , cold glacial spike, ice blast and frozen armour and lightning charged bolt and lightning bolt. They can use shields and swords although rarely melee attack. Act 5 Barbarians : Allowing players to hire mighty melee warriors that can be equipped with Barbarian helms paired with a single sword. They come with Bash and Stun as abilities and are sometimes favoured for specific Diablo 2 builds due to runewords they can equip and their better survivability.
Holy Freeze Defence Nightmare The most popular of all Act 2 mercenary auras for the majority of Diablo 2 character builds but not all and the one that many consider the Diablo 2 best merc due to the crowd control that the Holy Freeze aura provides. Might Offence Nightmare Without a doubt this is the Diablo 2 best merc for summon Necromancer as it can dramatically boost your skeleton damage with the aura active and when paired with your other spells like Amplify Damage is deadly.
Thorns Combat Nightmare While fun to experiment with on a summon Necromancer build as you watch demons hurt themselves on your skeletons and golem of choice this aura has the least uses of all your options and best avoided unless you are looking to experiment for fun or variety and not recommended for use in this Diablo 2 mercenary guide. Best Mercenary Gear While choosing the correct mercenary is important equipping them with appropriate gear should never be overlooked and in fact required if you expect your Act 2 mercenary to survive for longer than a few minutes.
Note that you will need to equip them with a decent weapon to maximise the life gained. Similarly Treachery can be a more budget option which again provides a balance of defence through Fade and damage boosting stats.
Damage : Maximising damage is an important step to ensuring that you benefit from the life stolen per hit that you are equipping your mercenary with. Check out our handy guide!

I think it is also only visual, but when you change difficulties with A2 mercenaries, their aura on the character sheet changes. It does not seem to matter what difficulty you purchase them on. The character sheet changes to respect the difficulty level. Also confirming tis is happening to me.
