Ive done a lot of research on the mercs....The only way Ive been able to have an a2 merc be able to survive a flock of cows surrounding him is as a High level Might merc (level 96 now) With a 6% ll/20% DR Etheral Vamp, Etheral Shaft, and a 25% ias CWP (of chain light, but that shouldnt matter unless you get quick or leech mod)..the pike has ed/ias & shael, totaling 35% ias on merc...with my pallys Fanat aura, it bumps his ias to 70%....this allows him to "Zeal" the cows ...... he still dies, but not as often...they need a lot of IAS and dmg to be able to live ....Im in the process of getting ed/ias jewels for the gaze/shaft..... he is not fast enough yet, nor will he ever be ;) (as testament, he has died 2x since level 93 that didnt involve me dying)
In summation...if you cant have a might merc with a decent % CWP, 50% DR, and at least 70% ias, Id scrap it and go with a HF merc for a WW barb....just my 2 cents from a melee point of view...If you cant be fast, make the enemies slow...
