I rather appreciate an Act 2 Defiance merc with my own Frenetics.
Frenzy's boost to landspeed allows you to walk (at a roadrunner pace) everywhere, thus maintaining your defensive numbers. Since the nature of Frenzy nixes any blocking percentages from a shield, a nice boost to your DR wouldn't be a bad thing. When you couple a high effective defense with the damage reduction from things such as your Shaftstop... well, sounds fun. After all, as the Barbarian, YOU'RE the weapon out there; your merc is secondary and supportive.
With decent investment, seeing a DR topping 10k is not out of the realm of possibility. Having the Frenzytaurs of Hell down to a 30%ish chance isn't too shabby.
One thought, hardly the only.
