Tav, Insight will only work on a polearm or a stave, not a spear. A War Pike is a spear. I know the runes for Insight are cheap, but still, make sure you use a polearm and not a spear. The strength requirements for elite polearms can be pretty steep, and the one that has decent requirements (a Thresher) has a rather low minimum damage. Of course it depends on what other equipment you give your merc. If you can get his strength up to 165, then a Cryptic Axe is the way to go, but unless you can do that a Partizan has pretty decent attack and low strength requirement. It's up to you, just don't use a spear.
