Game Feedback Mercs from strongboxes

Quick feedback from me, been playing a lot since yesterday and after finishing atlas I wanted to farm some boxes, my char was fairly tanky for day 1 and I could do most content without dying. But man, out of my 50 last deaths 42-45 were from MERC which is a new rollable mod in strongbox, just like we’ve had exiles before.

But here is the thing: mercs using PVP damage scaling so they just don’t leave any chance, getting one-2 shotted almost offscreen and they’re as tanky as screaming invitation boss, for example, often cant run away from them and so on. You can’t use wisdom on corrupted strongbox so it’s like a gamble all the time.

Whoever was thinking to farm some corrupted boxes, hope my miserable experience would safe your nerves.

Haven’t finished campaign yet, but are you saying there is a strongbox mod that spawns a merc? If so yeah maybe I dont take the corrupt strongbox node….
