Tank mercs are still 1-shotting players after 3.26.0c

Patch 3.26.0c nerfed most of the cases of the nercs 1-shotting players. But not all. Merc tanks are still doing way too much damage with some skills.

For example, Bastion: he used to 1-shot you with Shield Charge. That got nerfed. Now he 1-shots you with some kind of a slam (he has multiple slams).

There was another one (I forgot the name). It was a tank type too. And he did the same thing.

I've encountered spell casters, archers, wand attackers, melee fighters - all were fine after 3.26.0c. Just the tanks still need nerfing.

Yeah, marauder merc for me, I still can't tell which skill is killing me, this time I was half a screen away from him and yet got one shot
Hey, was fighting a merc who had some lightning abilities and he hit me pretty hard with his lightning stuff. I'm (Spell) Block Capped and have 79 lightning res with 5.2k life but 3-4 hits (with lifeflask) and I was gone.

Often i still got oneshotted even its not as bad as before.

I have the feeling they are still overtuned vs players.

I've just encountered that Lightning 1-shot merc: Thunderquiver. About 3 sec after the start of the fight, I got instantly 1-shot from 12k ES to 0 with some sort of a lightning attack. With 75% all res and no map mods that affect damage.

So that's another one that needs fixing.

The list so far:

- Bastion (and some other Str mercs): some kind of a slam 1-shot
- Thunderquiver: lightning 1-shot

FIX THIS PLEASE!
