Socket it, put an amn into it, and give it to your Act2 merc. This would
keep him alive aq little longer.

BTW: Does the poison damage count into the leech, or only physical
damage?

I'm pretty sure you can only leech from physical dam. Also, the poison needs
time to work, and I don't think the merc understands the concept of hitting
one baddie and then moving on to the next.

mercs don't even understand that it's a bad idea to hit one baddy in a mob
and then walk back to you nonchalantly.

Xanex.....UndeadRogueazon, "they bought their tickets, they took their
chances. I say, LET them die".

That depends. Unless I'm mistaken, the merc always goes after the
closest enemy, so especially if you or he has something with "hit
causes monster to flee" (which I still have mixed feelings about, but
it *does* come in handy sometimes), it can work very well.

I guess it is because I don't have a super weapon on my mercs so thet have
to hit muliple times, but I have been watching one lately and it does attack
multiple monsters when surrounded, just as fend should. With a poison weapon
I can see multiple monsters go green before any start dropping.

If not attacked themselves, they will go to the closest one. If attacked by
something in the back of a pack, they will go toward that attacker, thus
agrro-ing the entire mob whereupon he flees back to you, trailing some
Conviction aura'd super-pack.

Anex......Explodeazon, sometimes it's just best to let them kill the merc.
Serves 'em right.
