The mercenary feature sounds kind of annoying to me. I don't want to gear up a second character, but I will be punished in terms of drops if I don't try to.

Any chance of some bonuses for NOT taking a mercenary?

Well in my point of view it not look good.
I'm not doing well in PoE, in fact I struggle to run some yellow maps and can run some red but at high risk. From years I try to find bulid with let me do endgame contenet yet I not succesfull. Either to expensive to make in short league progress, too complicated to use or looking good on bulid manual yet not so good in maps. In this league I got to lev 94 and stuck there, constantlly 10 percent drop no matter how carreffully I are. All the times on certain exp tresholds (15 / 50 / 75 %), so I not even belive these not planned to simplly murder player character on those points. I'm get certain of it.

I also think that changes in atlas completion in 3.26 will only criplle endgame to the point of unplayable. While mapping in standard will keep broken due to intentionally planned map tab obsollete, when new maping tab is not get active one but only set as remove only.

From some time I have rule - NEVER pay any coin, not untill I been finally able at least see some reall progress in endgame. Seeing with way GGG keep escalating endgame difficulity and time invest in playtrought, I think I acctually will not buy from You ever again.

I just thought up an important question, this will likely get drowned but thought i'd ask anyway.

What about gear we give mercenaries that have ABILITIES. Will the mercenaries use them?

IE:
Craiceann's Carapace
Death's Oath
Sporeguard
Saqawal's Talons
Farrul's Fur
Yriel's Fostering (this coat still sucks btw, fix incoming when)

Also how do mercenaries interact with miscellaneous effects such as:

Cloak of Tawm'r Isley ~ magic items drop identified
Perfidy ~ can still gain valour with placed banner (presuming they have banner skill)

I am also presuming that they will ignore all stat requirements on gear and most downsides meant to impede players in some roundabout fashion?
