THE ACTUAL RUNS:
Thumb Rule: Don't forget to save Cain in hell level, however much you hate to do it. Otherwise, the freak charges you 100 gold per item identification, which is sick.
Now, start at A3, go to the waypoint, click on travincal, switch to the BO weapons, make sure your merc is next to you, and cast Battle Command, Shout and Battle Orders in the same order. Run straight for the temple chamber where the council is, and enter Durance of Hate level 1, then come back (This is to make that dim witted merc stay near you, otherwise, he'll be off hunting ghoul lords or those water watchers). More often than not, the council will hound you and start casting hydras. At this point of time, leap around a bit to stun them. You would notice that, by now, your merc would have started his party and poison novas erupting every now and then. Be careful, not to get too close to any of the council members, their hydras don't hurt much, but that weird lightning/whatever thing they do raising their hands, that actually hurts a lot (about 200 life per hit). So just stay out of the way, and you can tank the hydras easily. By now, the merc will be pwning everything in sight. If his life starts to fall a wee bit which is unlikely though, just do a couple of leaps/warcry, this will stun the council and give him time to single out one and regain his HP back again. As he is doing this, help his by spamming warcry every now and then, to stun the council. Once every council member is dead, use find item on all the corpses. Enjoy the GG gold. REMEMBER, DO NOT ENTER A TP WITHOUT CASTING FIND ITEM ON EACH CORPSE, BECAUSE IF YOU GO TO TOWN AND COME BACK, THE CORPSES CANNOT BE HORKED. Once you're done collecting gold and any stuff that drops, go to town, ID them with Cain and drop the gold off in the stash. Then quit the game and repeat.
NOTE: If any of the council is Physical Immune, try singling it out with your leap, and keep it that way by leaping, so that the merc can kill the rest. Once that is done, and the merc is trying in vain to kill the PI, find item, pick up stuff, save and exit.
If any of the council has conviction, you need to be careful, your merc can die in three seconds. In this case, again leap and single out the council member with conviction, but this time, leap such that your merc attacks the conviction council first. Meanwhile you can keep leaping and keep the rest of the council off the merc. Once the conviction is gone, it's gg.
The above two things require a bit of skill, but can be done easily with experience.
Small HINT: Don't MAKE the games, join other games, so you have higher drops and higher chance of item drops
P.S: This is a guide based off my experience with the GF barb. I'm open to suggestions and comments, but try to make constructive criticism, rather than flaming. If you find something wrong, say how it can be improved rather than blunt flaming.
