Merc revamp

and a new act 4 merc with something like 3 Bone skills +

Corpse Explosion + either

Amplify Damage or

Lower Resist would also put emilio under a lot of pressure

Or some Warrior from Diablo 1 with that legendary black armor, weapon and shield as a pure tank merc!

btw anybody knows if synergies work past lvl 20? i mean rogues get like lvl 40

Cold Arrow/

Fire Arrow, does it benefit the

Freezing Arrow/

Exploding Arrow past lvl 20? or at all, dmg is stated pretty low anyways..

Cool ide indeed, to many build are dependant on Act 2 auras & Infinity / Insight,

Andariel's Visage.

I'm using Act 2 Mercenarys on 90% of my characters, For the Summon Warlock, for my

Frozen Orb Sorcc, for my

Fire Bolt Sorcc & for my Summon Necro, only for my Barbarian I doubled down on more Physical melee dmg and went Act 5

Frenzy Barb Merc,
he does not provide me with any kinda of Aura, unless I swap out his Lawbringer

Phase Blade for a Last Wish

Phase Blade, but that's strictly for bossing.
would be nice if they had Might aura without a weapon or some other aura or synergys, like Sword Mastery instead of

Taunt, I don't think I have ever seen the mercenary

Taunt or if that's just passively applied but it feels like a useless skill that could be something better.

sorry what is PD2?

not sure about different gear for different mercs, seems unnecessarily complicated. just adding

Boots, belts and gloves feels so much more straightforward. imagine a rogue in full m'avina or with double horazon's

as for auras, also wouldn't go that path, surely we can get more creative

rogue with synergetic

Arrows,

Evade,

Inner Sight and

Slow Missiles would already be great.

PD2 = project diablo 2 , huge mod for LOD

I'm neutral on additional gear slots for mercs, i don't think it's necessarily what they need but i also wouldn't complain
I think just some changes to gear options could open up a lot of mercs, like Insight in swords for A3/A5 or more ctc helms like Delirium for A1
For A1, more than anything i think she would benefit from innate
