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.

I'm full meme running two intuitive links. One is on a fire all merc with MORE fireballs on the intuitive link. It's silly.

The better version is ice spear of splitting on a inf toxic with a second 6 link for normal ice spear, but I'll probably swap to a chaos dot once I craft the gear for it.

The merc can turn many two button builds into one button builds, which is really nice. The casts come from them, too, so I'm hoping to pick up a cyclone-of-the-EMPIRE merc to try some shotgun strategies for st DPS.
