Mercenary gear power level is absolutely atrocious at T16

Need more well-rolled affixes, more sockets, more links, more uniques, more than 4 affixes on most slots, more quality, occasional corruptions, etc.

Why aren't they wearing better gear? It doesn't take long for you to realize you should never, ever hover the items. It's like the obsolescence of ground rares, except you can well-roll these.

And way more quality. Including on Jewelry. Take the opportunity to add a little extra texture and a reason to look at their items!


Very surprised at the weak power level given how it was marketed that they would be wearing good items.

It's consistent with "the vision" that decent rare items OFF THE GROUND are not allowed in either POE1 or POE2. It's an ARPG without a loot hunt.
