Taunt does not work on: Elite of boss packs, champions, super uniques, Act bosses and Uber bosses. Here are my uber runs using the new Act 5 mercenary: Would love to equip him with Beast + Last Wish for testing purposes Right now he can dual wield only 1h swords. Minor edit: Would love to see the Act 5 Dual Wield Merc being able to dual wield all weapons. Offhand weapons do not grant crushing blow, ias, etc. Relies on Last Wish runeword which is very expensive Taunt causes all ubers and adds to focus on the merc. Taunt overrides Amp Damage and other useful effects (especially for necro) Life Tap from Last Wish may override Amp Damage or other useful effects (especially for necro) Can use Last Wish on off hand and provide Level 17 Might Aura Fade proc from last wish helps with resistances Higher survivability in general (except for ubers) Frenzy with Grief main hand is especially useful for this. Good for speed farming and clearing hell monsters, farm areas. I would suggest removing the taunt ability and replacing it with Natural Resistances instead. Despite equipping heavily defensive gear, the merc still got 1 shot fairly easy. The Taunt from Act 5 mercenary causes him to attract all of the damage from uber bosses + minions and get 1 shot. It is pretty useful for speed farming however the Taunt ability is a deathwish for ubers. The new act 5 dual wield frenzy mercenary looks strong on paper.
