hi aj rage lemme tell sm things abt mercies

archer - good in distracting creeps. critic rate
hk - evasion & tanking
mage - heavy damage
worrior - tanking & crafting.
you can tank with a worrior or an hk killing the boss wid around same pots left.
but with archers u can kill a boss with negligible amount of pots requiered.

do it
hit the boss wid merc on
just 1 shot now allow the boss to be dragged away by merc position ur self such that u ur merc and boss are in 1 straight line .now hit the boss with normal shots . he will just in between u and ur merc giving very few shots.



i killed 4 c3 bosses in 1 trip :)
with styleoeans char 124

yeah thts a trick i tried wid ma mage merc its 134 lvl wid a illhem staff
c3 boss i was tryin to kill
but the problem is other monsters and of course other players..:P
as archers are low on defence and hp pots if a warri0r merc wid same lvl as of mage but points in defence then how shud tht be?
will it work?
all tell me make a g9 Hk merc and just hit boss press V and move to a distance hk merc will tank u hit frm a distance??
the same thiing as of hk merc if done wid warrior?

g9 mace hk is good but making a mercy 160 is very difficult.
worrior is same in tanking but it wont give u passives which hks do in betwwen hk and worr its hk that should be the chosen 1

now abt the monsters u are killing a boss then u will have to protect ur merc from cynicks and lalons whatsover. in case of others there is no way other than kill or get killed.

Warrior merc is the only entity in A3 that can stun a boss . . .

It depends on character ... and the way you use your merc!

As for me (archer) !
I or any other archer ... can make use of any merc for killing bosses !

The duo trick of killing boss can be done with Arch n Mage merc !

As said by Phoenixxx ...
Just get your position right ... be sure no creeps come in!
Keep the merc on and you also hit ... just stop when the boss comes near and start again when it goes towards merc!

As for warrior merc ...
It can stun the bosses ... so you can easily kill bosses with a warrior merc also !

And hk merc is also a good option ... just you should know the way to use it and depends on how you use its skill points !

Hk merc can tank bosses nicely than all the other 3 mercs !

Repeating again ... Depends upon your merc build-up and how you use them !

thank you guys fr replyin so kindly to the posts...
the warrior merc can stun a boss?? wow!! gr8
but has it been tried by ne1 @ our server...??
so shud i delete ma mage merc of 134 lvl??
and get a warrior merc instead other mercs are Hk (90) archer (105)
the boss gets stunned means no action fr say 10-15secs??
y ppl dont use warrior mercs??
