I've always had a thing for Prayer Mercs, at higher levels they just make life easier for non mega-leech characters. As well, I don't have to constantly baby the merc with potions, as they can do fine with Prayer/some sort of life leech weapon. I used to mix one in with my Necro, and my revives/FG simply never died. I'm sure something like Thorns might've been better in that situation, but it just worked for me.
As for other mercs, I'd like to see the rogues get something like Slow Missiles instead of Inner Sight, and maybe the occasional Multishot or Strafe instead of Ice Arrow. The Iron Wolves would be great with Thunderstorm or a high-level Frost Nova, and the barbs just need a random war cry and I'd be in heaven. The Act 2 mercs just get the most use because they can help everyone, AND kill things good.
