If mercs go core please fix their farming

If mercenaries go core please fix the way to farm them, it takes hours and hours to find a perfect kineticist, i'm gonna find 3 sanguimancers before i find a kineticist which looks like it's not 50/50 to find it's more like 25/75.
And to find a perfect one is near impossible, if i find one with haste he has kinetic bolt, if i find one with kinetic blast he also comes with kinetic bolt and no haste, i have no idea how long it will take me to find one with 6link kinetic blast with no kinetic bolt and with haste.
Either make them tradeable or make it possible to lock 4-5 classes instead of 3

Min/maxing your build is supposed to take hours. There is nothing wrong with the current acquisition flow.

Any merc - immediate. Run 1 map, grab a merc.
Specific class- 12-30 maps
Infamous- 20-40 maps
Infamous of specific class - many maps
etc

What you described is finding a SHITTY merc, yeah cool im gonna spend 40 maps to find a kineticist with kinetic bolt on a 4 link and no aura.
I can rephrase it easier so a PathOfExile player can understand, do i really have to run for 20 hours t16 maps to find a good merc, a GOOD merc not a PERFECT merc?
Also this isn't min maxing, i think you got the term wrong, i would be min maxing if i was doing T17's, but im running t16's because i would have to spend easily 50 divines on t17's to find a good merc

1. Even the worst merc is still great. (party loot boost). Most mercs can wear doryanis, etc.

2. T17's arent more expensive if you use a decent strat, since you also profit more.

3. Min/maxing is just another term for optimization. So hunting for better skills is min/maxing.
