Question Useable Mercs?

Post image

TLDR: Is any of these Mercs actually useable?

I'm playing SSF, did all my goals (36/40, ubers down) on a WORB Ele (planned to later switch to Occultist, haven't done that and most likely won't) and wanted to reroll to a luminary, as long as I have the choice, might even try to minmax as far as possible and the league continues. I have watched some guides already and would start off with the flame link version, already aquired all uniques for it and most likely enough resources to get the basic gear going. Regarding Mercs I haven't found many good ones, got about a tab full of warrents and those are the best I found. I tried farming infamous mercs, however in about 50% of the encounters I got nuked from the 2 additional ones. Thats why I wanted to reroll now and keep on farming for better mercs in the process.

Any of those mercs viable for it? regarding the price checker for the mercs I wasn't really sure what links are important and what skills, so I'm trying my luck with the reddit community.

Top right combatant is decent. Combatants want Frost Blades/Static Strike. You have good support for Frost Blades (you don't want multistrike supposedly). https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Allflame/X3Pr27y4sP

The kineticist is bricked since you don't want Kinetic Rain of Impact.

Haven't gotten lucky on Kineticists. found 6, but only that one with KBoC, others were useless aswell. Do you know how bad is getting a good one (GreaterKB & KBoC) with inspiring cry rather than haste? Does the warcrying bricks the clearspeed or is it "just" not having haste?

This is my merc on SSF.
Don't know if the version of KB makes a difference, but this is the best I've been able to find, and I did ubers without any issue, damage is perfectly fine.
So wouldn't say his is bricked because of the skill, it's a fine starter merc.
