What type of merc do you recommend for SK?

[sirmorte]

<p>Normally, I would use a healing merc with my SK; however, he is a fairly good healer, at least at pre level 35.</p><p>First when <span style="text-decoration: underline;">soloing,</span> would you use a merc to begin with?</p><p>Secondly, if you would use a merc, what mercs have you used and are happy with? I was thinking of an assassin for their DPS but the healer is very compelling. The necro is compelling for both the DPS and mana transfer. Thus, based on your experience, what has worked well for you.</p>

<p>The inq merc for the cures, and heals.  Curing that stun can be major.</p><p>Although if you can mow stuff down you will get more xp without the merc penalty.</p>
