3.26.0c Patch Notes

im under the impression they applied the nerf to allied instead of enemy mercs, since so many ppl including me have the same experience. poes spaghetti code in a nutshell once again i suppose.

Yeah this update doesnt seem to have any effect..
mercs of similar level die to both mercs and exiles instantly..
+ enemy mercs are still oneshotting me offscreen, literally 0 change XD
bosses and normal enemies are no problem though

Still got deleted by the first merc in a T13 map.

Thank you GGG

So happy to play now that my merc dies and I can't figure out why (because we can't even for ourselves) after farming with him with me all day long until the patch. It's unreasonable to have merc so squishy without being able to ressurect them in the same map. I also believe it's not the intent to gear them as tanky as possible just for the sake of them being in my map, right? I'm suppose to have another "player" with me. Anyway, leaving them a little on the side for now because I cannot sustain paying ~10k gold after every map.

BUG feedback: When I use dark monarch, I can't have mines too. Mines are regard as minions that's ridiculous.

Hope there'll be a follow up patch or something, I don't even wanna play this game anymore when my merc just dies, what's the point of having them then.

6 Endurance, 26 fort, max block, 5500 hp, one shot by a melee merc with 0 damage mods on a map. Yep, that's 0 offensive mods.

On top of that, my merc dies in nearly every map now, decent gear, max all res and high hp / eva.

What kind of anti-fun patch is this?

I never understood the reason for slowing people down in a game that predominately is played alone, and without a "esports" scene to worry about issues. Just let people get the damn items and enjoy it without needing to play 24/7 or be a math wizard.

cool patch now they fucking die every map

Mercs die at the first tough rare of almost every map now, and the mercs still one shot me with off screen and auto cast abilities. Somehow this patch made it worse while also not at all addressing the issue with how strong mercs are in maps. Crazy.
