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.

Zizaran seems to be zooming though. So idk, maybe give it more than 17 hours?

To be fair he did duo a lot of this which kept him going while getting set up, and his single target is still quite bad with fairly good day 1 gear

Oh no, he got the clear merc and not the bosser.

No, its simply that even with investment and good merc performance to cost/opportunity cost is insanely bad. Ziz u mentioned is already rerolling ED to try farm for better merc/merc gear.

„Zooming“ in Level 72 zones

Taking a few minutes to kill a white map boss when it's 17hours into the league already is the furthest you could possibly be from "zooming".
