they'll have their own trees based on build archetypes and you'll see what attributes they focused on in the top right on their menu idk tho

There is no direct downside for you. Just gotta use it on a tank. I'll definitely be using this.


Downside that you set your npc up for some extra good lightning slaps, causing them to die more often within the right maps, means no don't get any benefits other than having to res your dude more often.


learn to gear your mercenary then there is good video from connor who showed how to make very tanky your merc
Shavs Revelation might work and give the merc a good bit of regeneration.

The new league is not even out yet lmao, so no thanks, hard pass on some random click bait videos.

We'll all figure out how we gear them in a couple of days :)
But yea on the side note, having them take more lightning dmg is not the way to go if you want to make them tanky. Not really rocket science but a obvious no-brainer.
Flames and madness. I'm so glad I didn't miss the fun.

connor doesnt make clickbait videos and you dont need to wait for league to come out to see that with the items he showecased your merc will become really tanky and you act like using that amulet will make your merc squishy whos gonna die to white monster not to mention its only LIGHTNING damage not all damage that amulet gonna be bis item slot for mercs its a no brainer

TLDR of that video was give your merc a block chance shield with recovery on block.

Anyhow yeah dori merc is going to die a lot but doesn't mean it wont be useful like you could just use it for bossing when you only need the merc to be alive for a few seconds while you one shot the boss with lightning damage.
BalorMage has put together a list of items you could fit your merc with a couple of presets on it: https://pobb.in/T6-xtVIJJWMZ

That type of bait only works on the lazy scrollers

Oh, absolutely.
We haven’t really seen any of the npcs in action yet, and we haven’t discovered their strengths, weaknesses, or even how good or bad the overall AI is. So no, you can't really make solid gear picks or decide what’ll make them tanky or amazing without having a clue how they perform in the first place.

Making prediction on something he has no knowledge about is pretty much bait for clicks. Its like making build guides for leraguestarter before patch notes are out.
Why did he release this video now instead waiting untill he can actully test those things whether they work the way he think it works? Becuase if he waited, he would get way less clicks.
