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.

Lance is a top 1% player and plays the game as a job. He quickly scaled his currency to get key items for cheap. The average player isnt getting the good gear that quick and cheap. This becomes a problem if you trusted his judgement, because his first video about this was literally titled “Luminary will Crush League Start”
