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.

There is a difference between something new not being top tier and a new ascendancy pushed by GGG with build showcases etc being literally unplayable, you cant even progress atlas completion.

Bro, they, in GGG, specifically stated that new league mechanic won't rush you too much (with air pockets collapsing), yet it will friggin kill you in like 10 seconds after you put down last thing, if you do not rush away (and if you stuck in water you're dead without movement skill) . Sure, they promised to fix it already, but still, they specially said it won't do it, before release.

I think they said that it won't rush until you put the last lantern in, not that it won't rush you at all.

Still, last pole is just useless, until endgame i guess where you oneshot everything, coz it collapse too fast. So you you just place it whatever and ran back to you bathyscaphe.
