what kind of cool ideas do you have that could make mercs other the act 2 merc more useful?
act 3 merc could cast Enchant on group members and act 5 merc could give Battle orders or other warcries. no more need for Enchant bot, or to log secondary character for Enchant / Battle orders.
Warcries would only be level 1 max cause they are very strong and scale very well. merc would refresh only when it wear off, and you would have to be in range to get it. + skill would only increase duration.
Insight runeword could also work in bows, and Harmony could also work in swords.

remove cta while you're at it.

Go play pd2 then

Your the type of person who wants nigma nerf also probably

I see no reason why act 3 mercs shouldn't have drastically buffed damage, namely given cold/fire/light mastery (and buffed inferno for sorcs and mercs alike)
there's really no remotely practical use for their damage output, even the best possible mass facet griffs/nightwing and ormus on cold/light mercs still sucks, the lightning barely gets relevant damage that's still eclipsed by other mercs, and yet it only casts lightning 1/3 of the time, it casts useless charged bolts 2/3 of the time

the only uses right now for a3 mercs are as mules, or the absurd mass poison death facet on a level 49 merc for low respawn costs / 10 hp in hell

Another senseless +1 post ?
Disagree with ur idea.

A5 merc casts shout. A1 merc does shared holy freeze, fire and lightning. A3 merc can cast Valkyrie and holy shield.

Literally +1
Lol it was his first post.
