EMPOWERD attacks have lack of support!

Since November i play Mercenary with Crossbow style and spended a lot of hours trying different builds and options in attack. One of them was Empowerd attacks and all possibilities to combine them with skills and buffs.

After I've spent enough time here is my notes and suggestions:

1. There is obviously significant lack of support gems that limiting options to 5max. Yea mercenary and also warrior have specific 5max gems for supporting either skills. Devs need to bring at least 6-7 new in next patch. These support gems shouldn't be only for boosting damage but also for triggering or enhance non-damage skills.

2. As i noticed in passive tree of Mercenary and Warrior classes , the passives that related with empowerd attacks are sometimes unusable from either classes and that means you have to pass over them for reaching the ones that can be useful for the class you play. For example i need to reach (Bolstering Yell) 30% increased empowerd attack passive for my Emergency relaod skill but need to pass through Warrior's small notables that give Empowerd attacks only to Warcry skills. So i loose some passive points wich are very few and valuable. Devs need to rework them for making both related classes benefiting equal by combining modifiers.

3. Another serious point for Mercenary class is that invests ton of things unlike others and thous it is important some passives that related with Cooldown Recovery rate and Skill effect duration, to be more powerful as it is unfair to invest 10-15 passive points to reach the desired level of duration. At least make small notables of 5% of increased Cooldown Recovery rate to be 8% and notables to be from 10% to 15-20%. Do also same to the skill effect duration time.

4. Uniques???. Another lack of item support! There are no Unique items for triggering or enhancing Empowerd attacks, that should bring more builds for Mercenary class. Please Devs bring some new uniques that will boost empowerd attacks and also increasing variety of builds.

5. It was a good action bringing new Runes in last patch but what about new Runes for Empowerd attacks??? Just a suggestion for future plans. Maybe 1-2 new Runes related with Empowerd skills will bring more fun to people who invest to those skills.

Furthermore Empowerd attack skills need more in depth rework as new classes will come later in the game and of course putting some standard values in passive points isn't something that will stay without amendments forever!

Guess what bro! Noone bothers anymore to play with Crossbow. Even the Rarest Crossbow that gives 600 physical damage and 150 elemental with +6 skill levels, cant beat a common Spear that gives 1/3 of them.

I tried before one month and thought that empowerd attacks could save me if i invest to that direction my passives but quickly dissaponted again.

The ONLY thing that can save Crossbow builds, is the missing "quiver" that can bring them a little more near power of other weapons. But making them overpowered... i doubt it!

True, tried it and wasted time ana valuable orbs. You cant play with empowerd attacks right now. It is a joke that called it 'Empowerd". Shame that noone cares anymore to bring balance amongst skills and classes.

I'm thinking quitting the game for at least 1,5 year. Progression is 5% every 3 months.
