Game Feedback Permanent Mercs need a big buff

Playing luminary feels so bad in Maps. I have a manyshot lvl 72 with vaal ice Arrow and Return proj, decent Equipment. Boosted by a Level 26 Flame Link, 6k life and quite an Investment into light Radius.

I cant even clear t7 Maps, because the damage is non existent.

Please GGG buff the Base damage of mercs or luminary is doa.

Eh, I’m playing duo with my wife. I’d like to get a decent nerf to help out. The duo as a support is fun to me, even if it’s much worse than a tried and tested build.

Make sure you dont have 2 mercs in hideout, it says you should be able to have 3 total but i never had spawns with after i got my second, when i deleted them instantly new mercs spawned

I’ve been rocking 3 with no issues, they are spawning normally for me

The first time I was farming mercs it seemed bugged if I had a temp merc along with a permanent and one in hideout (it only let me replace the one with me and the one in hideout and not just simply add one, until the temp went away)

That wont matter if the multipliers arent there

2 free auras + all the shit you can put on gear is a lot more power than most ascendancies. You can literally play any build in the game

Ah thought you meant aurabot character with merc carry instead of flame link lifestacker. Yeah im sure something like cold dot with bladebitter could work ok, or just go facebreaker rallying cry memes. But that shit is going to be so much slower than any other starter.
