I am looking forward to these changes as a whole. I'm assuming the A3 Redemption aura will provide health/mana to the player as well?

A5 merc with CTA?

Yooo

“ A new ferocious Barbarian is available for hire from Qual-Kehk. These warriors cannot use two-handed swords. but are well trained in the art of dual wielding. Utilizing the Frenzy, Taunt, and Iron Skin abilities, they lure enemies in and unleash a fierce barrage of attacks.”

a5 merc will be strong now

2x plagues to go with your infinity spear on your Cs zon....

LOL yes brooooo

Anni changes + redemption on act 3 merc + act 5 merc buffs = WIN

Good changes overall. Worth the extra wait. Well done.

Chatbug not fixed, no love for lobby, no fhr change updates

Lame

It's about goddamn time.
