I think Mercs will be meh

With monster life increased, you have something like 35-40% difficulty increase, considering during campaign you mostly run pass monsters, it's more close to the boss 50% life boost., so the question is, can mercs give you that big of a damage boost?

The answer is maybe, early on when you don't have a lot they prbly will, and in the very end when you almost finish a build, with the right merc and right gear setup it might, but everywhere in the middle I don't see how it can, you will for example get 25% boost in power but having a 38% negative makes it not wise to bring a merc with you.

The percentage monster life, imo needs a shake up.
