Conner,
HAHA! I like your enthusiasm. I'm pretty sure the thorns kill off a revive is considered a merc kill. The reason I am pretty certain is that when a monster beats itself to death on one of my revives (covered in merc thorns aura), I get the huge gold drops as usual. The merc doesnt have to be the one to get the kill, and I still pop like 4 or 5 k sometimes from nightmare enemies when my revives reflect-kill em.
OH but i suppose that its possible I'm getting credit for the kill. DUH!
I'll have to check, but if you have a spare necro around it should be easy to check. Just drop a wealth and crown of thieves on him, and have no other gold find, and thats a nice 380 percent or so, depending on the crown. Then take it off and compare.
I'll try to remember to double check tonight. :)
I do feel pretty dumb for putting a 30% GF jewel in my ali baba (I dont regret the 11% resist all). I had a spare LEM and it didnt even occur to me. ARGH :)
One option for mana is that you could find grand charms with both gold find and mana. My prize grand charm of greed has 40% gold find and I think +47 or something to mana. Very sweet.
My only real concern with this necro is ... can he prosper in Hell? I wont have any way to kill physical immunes, since I'm not planning on going with Bone Spirit.
Also, while I do have a crown of thieves I could drop on my merc, I almost prefer a BlackHorn's face with an Ort in it (and at high levels possible a BlackHorn with a LEM) just because I dont want LEBs to kill him so easily.
I was planning on giving him goldskin when i find one for 100% gold find, and I still could, but it would be tempting to make a wealth for him too. I guess I'll also need a high damage 6-socket elite spear or polearm weapon to put 3 lems (hah! as if I'll ever have 3 lems) and 3 amns in it. :)
