Helm for a1 physical merc?

My a1 merc is doing 13k damage at the moment, but i think she needs a new hat to produce more. Currently using Crown of Thieves.

I have found a rare helm with 25 resistance to 3 elements , 25 dex and some life. If I quad socket it, what should I put in the sockets?

I have plenty of emeralds and amythysts (lev 88 req. ones). I also have jewels with ed of between 35 and 44%.

Please don't suggest rune words as I am Rune poor. Same applies to shards.

I have sufficient life leech with my other gear.

My character is a summon druid so the merc hardly ever takes any damage.

So.....what should I do?

Use andys visage for soloing with an uber emerald. The amp witches will cast amp for you and increase her damage a ton. For bosses I would suggest something like a blood craft diadem with all res. (4 x uber emerald.)

You want to get her as much dext as possible. More dext on them --> more damage. 4 socketed armor/helm each filled with uber emeralds (30 dext each) gets them 240 more dext. With an eth rare colossus crossbow rolled to 500+% ed and filled with %ed/damage/dext jewels AND getting all the dext you can in gear, A1 mercs can get to ~30k damage. Helmet can be a craft as well... blood craft works here for life, leech, etc.

Belt is razortail, boots are war travelers. Usually the armor is holy crafted for the sanctuary aura (pierce undead resistances).

Your other option for the helm is andy's visage... the reanimates cast a big amplify damage.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Tried the Andys Visage helm yesterday and was impressed with the faster killing speed. Also, more summons are always good.

Might try a craft helm, just to see what effect that has.

craft helm will have defiance aura (holy craft) it buffs your defense a bit too...It does well took me a few months to get one for my merc...has dex/res on it yay!

if you do craft helms i'd say craft circs...can have major skills and all res...

If u got already some amp source, Kyras with emeralds works fine too. good mods in it.
