Project Diablo 2 - Early mercenary equipment guide

Going over the initial equipment options for mercs and going into quite a bit of detail on various options for melee and act 5 mercs in particular.
Somewhat scuffed audio in this one as I had a stuffy nose when recording and tried to "fix" it in post-production.

Forgot to talk about the Tancred boots I have in inventory which is potentially an interesting piece for mercs in certain scenarios I think particular for act 3 mercs the 10% PDR can be helpful for keeping them alive.
I also did not cover IK set as an early option for A5 mercs. While its not optimal in terms of damage output for your merc the 5-piece combo that provides 28% PDR can be a solid option if your main priority is to make your A5 merc tanky.
