3.26.0c Hotfix 4

3.26.0c Hotfix 4


  • Mercenaries now have the same Damage Reduction as with release when at Level 83 and 84, and higher Damage Reduction at the vast majority of levels.
  • Overall we've put Mercenaries back to the position where they have equal, or better Damage Reduction at almost all levels, notably in Early-game where they are significantly more durable, especially from level 40+.

In Endgame, they had a level threshold where their Damage Reduction doubled, this caused an issue where Mercenaries within that threshold felt immortal (up to a point) whereas Mercenaries one below that threshold were dying constantly. We've smoothened this progression so that each level of Mercenary matters more, this has resulted in a few levels where they are taking more damage but not a significant amount.

This is all on top of the change to make them even more resilient to Damage over Time.
Has any exile really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Thank god please just revert everything back to how it was at league launch. Let us break the game for once to have fun. Please don't nerf anything or implement bug fixes that disable builds after the league has launched.
Good
we will find the balance! thanks for the quick updates

Will be there any tuning for spawnrates?

I'm at 280k kills and I saw Withertouched merc a total of 4 times since league started while the Kinetic one and Warpriest seems to spawn on every 3rd map.

It should surely appear more when I'm constantly exile-capped on dex/str mercs
Any ETA on betrayal's sting being fixed?
Make it impossible to lower their resistances below 0, otherwise any merc that is not str/int and any build that is not lightning damage is coocked for another 9 months.
rue is a cat
Please fix the Doryani's exploits; everyone knows mercs using it without armor should be dying more.

When flagrant cheaters can print loot it makes the game unrewarding for everyone that's not a cheater.

You banned for comparably dubious stuff in 3.25 and POE2 020.
