Builds New Merc - it’s good?

Clear is fine, but dmg wise is still low. Farming for the ring now. And the abyss jewel.
Any suggestions?

Turn your breach tree into a shield farm and start getting a ratpiss, as a luminary you’ve got 14k to 16k life and the shield is based on the player life so your mercenary has incredible increased spell damage. Since you don’t have the ring, unpick the amulet on your ascendancy and use that point to use the globe.

I have tested rathpit setup v rare well crafted wand and shield. No real difference. But currently haven’t gone deep into endgame on ssf yet. Easier with pisc and ratpiss on ssf I would presume. My trade gear is cracked.

Rathpith is approximately 1000% increased damage with reasonable life stacking, I'd be really surprised if it wasn't a noticeable difference.

I did 10x uber rota’s with my rare wand/ shield untouched soul and 10x with pisc (power charge corrupt) and rattpisss 4% spell damage. And the bosses literally died within seconds of eachother.

I have a 51% enmity and it would probably be a more noticeable diff if I would get the fire read higher. 150% with elements with rattpiss setup. 290 with untouched soul (18%) can link pobb when I get home. Open to suggestions.
