I agree that of all the mercs, that I have played with (only the Act 5 merc being the exception), that the Act II merc is the best
I am playing a Barb right now. I am in Act 4 ready to face Diablo thanx to my Act 2 thorns merc.
I had a Act 3 cold merc, but the guy would never lvl up. He kept dying. I was like lvl 38 and he would still be lvl 23. I would lvl up and he would never. I said screw this and go a act 2 merc, even though I was the one tanking things. My act 2 merc has a unique partizan that kicks major booty. However, the guy is completely dumb.
I die in the Chaos Sanctuary to a unique OM :angry: (Another post in itself) and his minions. They are guarding my corpse, and I need my merc to help with the thorns. I waited five mins before just getting a weapon and start going in there myself. <_<
The perfect example of the AI of the mercs is in the Flayer dungeon, where I accidently activated one of the traps that spew out a poison cloud. I walk far away from it, hoping that he would follow me. What does he do, he walks right into the cloud and is now poisoned. :unsure:

The last one is a line in the show. It is a very funny line. You have to watch the episode to understand the phrase.
