Druid tele felt faster than normal, but I don't have reference to compare right now so I'm really not sure.

If they stealth gave him better frames, that would be amazing. He really should be 9 frames at 125 fcr like Necro and pally.

I haven't tested or been on ptr, so I can't confirm.

It's kind of incredible that a caster class (druid) has worse fcr breakpoints than a melee class (paladin).

mercs benefit from +all skills, +fire skills, +skill that is class specific, but not from +class skills or +tab skills
so an act 5 merc wearing a barb hat with +3 bash gets +3 bash, but wearing arreats he gets +0
also mercs get synergies based on other skills they have cast, at the last skill level it was cast, not capped at 20, but also not applying until they cast it. IE they cast a level 36 firebolt, they now get +504% base damage to further casts of fireball.

yes, they have 17/16/15/14/13/12/11/10 FPA casting at 0/8/15/26/39/58/86/138% fcr
some action frame breakpoints inbetween but that really doesn't matter

I was so excited about A3 merc damage when I first hired on my sorc because the hiring menu shows the damage if they had your sorc's light/fire mastery. After they are hired their damage drops way down and they are still useless. They really need some level of mastery to be of any use at all or make the lightning merc only cast static field which he currently doesn't use enough lol.

So can anyone actually test and confirm what I tried to figure out for some time yesterday: Does the exploding arrow affix on bows like Kuko Shakuko now actually work on A1 mercs, or is it just a visual bug that shows explosions?
The logical way to test this is with enchant and a cold merc, since she doesn't use exploding arrows as a skill.

HI¡, Have you seen Strafe hit 6 arrows instead 3 in monotarget??? I don't know if that's how it is; or is it a bug.

I'm testing Strafe with a simple UPG-Buriza (160%), Lionheart armor(hel+lum+fal RW), talRasha helm, highlord amu, Disciple glovers, razortair belt, Sandstorm Trek boots, ravenfrost+bulkathos.(ptr default character).
With the exception of the Bk ring and the HL amu, they are super affordable items. Perhaps in 2.4 Bowazon will have his ''low-cost'' option with Strafe&Buriza.

What does Blizzard do on their free time when there’s major bugs like ww issue and slow motion werewolf’s? So little action and too much idling from Blizzard.
