    Hii guys . so i play my summonmancer and my question is what is the best jewel to socket in the guillaumes face that my hireling is using? my best guess is 15 ias/ed or 15ias/max or min damage?

    Really anything you see fit. Most of my mercs have either a plain IAS jewel or Ral in their Guillames.

    Try with vex/Lo in face then he will get more max fire/light res i think your merc is using forti so if you put vex or as you see lasts answers ias+ed/max.

    You need to think for whole merc package. IMHO the merc has the only mission ti kill fast 1-2 monsters, then the corpse explosion chain reaction will clear everything.
    I use Andy plus IAS. Also, Inifity, Nosferatu, Goblin Toe, ravenFrost, crafted gloves with 20 IAS + 10% crushing blow.

    This setup allow my merc:
    • higher IAS breakpoints. Very fast killing machine....... (and yes, I tried Forti also)
    • cannot be frozen
    • huge crushing blow
    • conviction aura
    For me works like a charm. Amp damage, he killed some fast, corpse explosion. Then, teleport to next monster package :)

    i use Inifity cv , Nosferatu, Goblin Toe, carrion wind, Highlords wrath, Guillaumes Face with IAS jewel, treachery,and 20 ias gloves (i miss 10% cb here) with this i reach 90% cb+ (100+ if i find good gloves) wich i like for bosses and also have around 110 ias and fanatisiscm aura . Ilike to be able to kill bosses fast too.
    thanks all for the help and info, i think i ll go for ias/ed ( i have a jewel ias/33 ed gonna try it)

    no WAY, that jewel is overkill. Sell it, and use a regular IAS 15%. It is more than enough....

    Ehh Dont u have problems getting corpses because with ravenfrost it has chance to shatter the mob which may not be able to be used for corpse explosion. Same with fortitude shiver armor proc.

    And also like this game mostly have demon monsters so Laying of hands gloves (set bramble mitts) is good alternative gloves for merc (350% damage to demons) 20 ias,Fire resistances which is absolutely great for merc and on attack chance to proc holy bolt.

    I crafted myself 20ias/10CB , not big deal, really. Also, I will try LoH, I am open to any good ideea :)

    Not a great roll, but offered me what I wanted.

    I Prefer for nec's merc gear like mine nec also :
    Anda helmet + ias/bonus , Eth 3k def bugged treachery arm-shael thul lem [45ias+fade] , lord amu , LoH Gloves , ring ll like a carrion or craft , THundergod belt eth , gore rider boots- eth infi..add Might aura merc from a2 Ofense nightmare.
    This setup will give you 100 ias[enough] , fade on hit for him , max light / psn more than 75% [fire also if add VEX in anda vs jewel ], very good life leech and 7k dmg him with aura ,great ias without using forti- its my opinion.

    PS: im using that build not only for necro merc just changing gloves for dracs and infi for insi depend hero, not always CB is needed your merc is just support on summoner

    As I said , think the whole gear as package. My summoner use this instead of HoTo or King Leoric. Fana aura help my merc to kill fast, all I need is 1-2 bodies to start corpse explosion chain...
