Runeword Question

i have 2 eth 3 socket bodies and i was wondering what the best runeword would be to put in them for my act 2 merc. my thoughts were between 2 (3?)

duress

treachery

gloom (?)

i have a duress already, and its awesome, but i hear lvl 15 fade from treachery is impressive. and gloom looks kinda cool :P

thoughts?|||Treachery is quite nice with the IAS and fade.

Duress have CB and higher defence.

I say make a treachery and test it out its cheap and with a 15 ias jewel he'll reach the 56 breakpoint.|||thanks for the input. do you have any experience with treachery? is fade enough to keep your merc alive or do you need the +res and def of duress?|||It would be much easier if i had more info what other gear does he use and what build do you have ?

For instance a good amount of life leech would profit from the higher IAS of treachery etc|||for my blizzard sorc my merc uses andy's visage and an insight colossus voluge|||Without something like Chilling Armor or Shout, ED% doesn't make that big a difference... but in an eth armour Gloom could work. Treachery's Fade gives 60 all res and 15% DR, but depending on what target you're running it might not be active when you need it. The mid armours are all pretty close.|||I'm a big fan of Treachery. I mostly run places where Fade will trigger (CS). I like the shortened curse duration also.

If you run Andy and Meph or some other single monster Treachery would probably be not so good as hubb says.

Fade is good once you reach an act boss since they do massive damage vs hirelings. Whatever damage your merc do won't make much difference on an act boss since the hirelings damage vs act bosses is very gimped. Crushing blow from Duress is nice though, but 15% isn't enough to make me pick Duress and you don't need crushing blow vs non champions anyways.

You should at least test Treachery as Flax says.
