I am guessing you mean Hell Baal runs. Will he get exp? Yes. Will it be a lot at level 62? No. Will he die a lot? Yes. :)
I haven't been on bnet for a good three weeks now and my memory is already getting a bit fuzzy. One day while uploading cd's to itunes I decided to level my merc on my javazon. My javazon was already level 88 and had a level 58 act2 nightmare merc.
I want to say I got my merc to level 67 through playing nightmare games. Close to 70 I would run to cold plains during baal games and kill everything as fast as I could. He got really spectacular exp here till later in the 70's. Then I moved to Canyon of the magi. And I finally got his level in Flayer Jungle. I found it easier, and faster to get from 83-87 in flayer. They die quickly, they are small, but each one gives very good exp. I really have no great understanding of Merc Exp mechanics, so I'll yield any of my advice to someone who knows the guts of the matter. Though I do know this method worked very well, and in the matter of a day he went from 58 to 85, and then 85-87 the next day within an hour.
It took until level 87, with shaftstop, vampgaze and an eth unique ogre axe before my merc lived through players 8 baal runs consistantly.
If you have the cash to resurrect him frequently, I suggest joining baal games and merely running to said areas and killing monsters till the thrown is up.
Cheers
