HOT TAKE. I am probably the only person in the community who is not excited for 3.26

"
if mercenaries can't get me low hp they are garbage and useless? so then that mean that i must be garbage too or else they would win


Really? It means that you drastically out-class them, aka they are garbage and useless TO YOU.

You want a merc that puts up a fight, no matter WHAT your current power is.

Nothing he said is a comment on you, its just basic logic.

Perfect logic. No flaws at all.

dude......he said to you "merc can't carry you, because if it COULD you likely couldn't beat it". That is basic basic basic common sense dude.

If the merc can barely tickle you....how in the WORLD is it going to help carry you anywhere? It IS therefore hot garbage FOR YOU.

There is no comment on your build. This is always true of anyone, everyone, everywhere.

I agree with him, you need to stop posting on this forum. You aren't digesting the information and taking everything as a personal attack. It isn't healthy.

lol this is the dumbest conversation in a while.

If merc is stronger than you, it can carry you: but also means you probably can't beat it or you'll die a lot trying.

If merc is so much weaker than you that it "will never get your hp below 50%", then what good is it to you?


What in the world is your brain thinking? Is this a language barrier thing?



Lol okay....because I read his words and understood them, I'm his alt. What happens when the next 5 people are able to comprehend basic logic? All alts?

being able to defeat mercs DOES NOT MAKE THEM GARBAGE AND USELESS THEY CAN STILL BE VERY HELPFUL SO WHY IS IT THAT IF I DEFEAT THEM THEY ARE GARBAGE AND USELESS? OBVIOUSLY HE MEANS THAT I CAN ONLY DEFEAT THEM IF THEY ARE GARBAGE AND USELESS BECAUSE HE IMPLY THAT I'M SO TERRIBLE THAT THAT'S THE ONLY WAY I CAN DEFEAT THEM PLEASE UNDERSTAND

It's not a matter of understanding......its you drawing the wrong conclusions because you are taking things as personal attacks. That's YOUR personal hangup, not anything he said.

Take a break from the forum.

you are not worth the effort.

It wasn't a personal attack, plain and simple. You took it as one, but that is not grounds for support to come after someone. And it appears that your predilection is taking EVERYTHING as a personal attack.

No one can have a conversation with you. And the caps lock (despite obv being your name) is just obnoxious and trolly behavior.



It was a pure statement of fact: the stronger the fight the merc puts up, the better it'll be at carrying and helping you. The weaker the fight it puts up, the more likely its pure garbage. There may be very RARE instances where it wouldn't be total garbage, but it is highly likely.

No one is calling YOU garbage. My god...

mercs will not not be useless tey are the league mechanic they must be good 🤠
Not that hot of a take. I'm in the same boat. It will be the same game with the same massive problems and a degenerate addicted streamer crowd telling me "nah bro LOGIN best thing since sliced bread slam 24/7".

- no endgame loot hunt
- all wearable drops are garbage
- 50 steps of "hope I get lucky" gambling labeled as "crafting"
- balance is a joke, most gems are completely ignored
- monster damage is still ludicrously overtuned so standing still on most builds is a death sentence
- ever increasing terrible system performance in all environments
- zero visual clarity in any combat situation

Anyone know a modern ARPG with an endgame loot hunt?
