well
u cant say hk merc is best for bossing
i find archer merc better for bossing
coz bosses do more magic damage than normal damage
and archer merc doesnt reduces magic evasion
archer merc enables u to finish bosses faster
i got both hk and archer mercs
but archer is 135+
coz archer helps in questing and faster lvling
fr an hk
its best to go for archer coz of bor and heal
and the hustler u get on archer merc
added 500 damage is a boon
bosses go flat so fast
for mages...its better that they get hk mercs
coz of huge amount of damage of sb only
hustler makes less difference as compared to low melee damages of other chars
archers already have 21 evasion at g9 coz of mirage
so they dont need to worry much about evasion
just hit and run and finish the target faster
warriors need hk merc with evasion
and archer mercs with no hustler
cz of their already low evasion and gud amount of attacks
i got 3 mercs
1 archer(thats my main merc)
2 hks (for bossing and tuffer maps lvling)
i use archer for bossing and maps like syvave or p1
and hk for tao
the 2 hk mercs i have
Numero Uno = Bossing merc
Spam Man = Lvling merc
its hard to max all 3 opts on 1 hk merc
so i have evasion and crit evasion on Spam man
and magic evasion and evasion pumped into Numero uno
m able to kill 2 den bosses in mob w/o healer
(obviously i need larrteck and a gud SS)
Hope the info helps
and different classes need diff mercs
diff builds need diff mercs
it all depends upon gameplay : )
