I've just hired my first act 3 mercenary (Jarulf, of course) and as the Arreat Summit warned me, he doesn't swing his sword much, but his glacial spike (or whatever he casts) is much nicer anyway.
Here are my two noob questions:
1. What is the best sword for such a mercenary? There are quite a few items that these guys can use, but what's the best weapon for them? For fire mercs there are some choices, what about for cold ones? Any decent unique, set, rare or even magic swords out there?
2. Do sets function properly on mercenaries? Do they get the same bonuses for fully/partially completed sets as player characters get? And I suppose their AI isn't programmed to utilize Trang Oul's fireball skill, is it?
