Since we are talking about dressing up mercs a lot, I thought I'd do my very first non-lurking action on lurker lounge and chime in.
Pretty cheap and fun setup on my thorns merc for my necromancer is upgraded rattlecage and upgraded mask of horror (non ladder so only to exceptional). It's a very reassuring sound always hearing that 'scare the bad guy noise' pretty much every hit. Even at his level of 82, he holds up quite well, and he rarely dies. This may be in large part to all the minions around removing some heat, but monsters spend a lot of time running away from him instead of hitting back. Weapon was a lucky find, ethereal 5 socket mancatcher, so I made Honor word with it. Being pretty poor, I think it was an ok move.
