Mercenaries kinda suck. A lot. They probably have 1/3 the stats that Youkai of their same level have ( http://prntscr.com/7t6yn9 - what the HAHAHA).

They can't even stand their own in Level 60 Arena Singles Matches ( which was tested with this bug - http://neus-projects.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1574 ) of 3 mercenaries versus 1 Ghost or Evoker Combatant.

Sure, they're not supposed to be a free pass, but c'mon. They're Ranylyn clones. No offense.

None taken. They actually make ME look GOOD!

Jokes aside, my personal proposed tweaks would be...

Alma: Have yet to test.

Zoria: She can't hit anything. Her damage comes from her armor of nails. She desperately needs some skill. As it stands, she literally cannot do anything. Too frail to take hits and too clumsy to land hits. Also, her stats mean that she'd often be landing 0s at high levels anyways, unless her sword is crazy good.

Spazzy McPyromaniac: yeah, going to wait until he's fixed before I comment.

Pfft, they're great. She's just one class, has a Spectre Sword, and did, on average, 50 damage against these level 54 enemies.
At least her win quotes work.
And neat personality.

She had a Spirit Sword for me. But I agree about her character.

I gave them all a little growth in various stats and made Reynes more willing to use his spells.

Let me know if they need any further adjustments (probably do).

What changed?

She's up by a few stats since my last post.
It's all based on rolls, so I'm sure someone will get a good merc.

(Not like I think they should be able to beat players, but 40 in at least ONE stat is decent. Especially at 60.)

Shortly before the last update, I noticed Alma was never using skills. Just curious if this was fixed, since the update happened before I had time to report it.

They don't really have to compete with players, since they don't affect PvP, just the PvE enemies, and based on current PvE stats, they're still not doing so hot...

I'd like at least a 40 in STR at 60 if you're going to be a melee merc, silly Zoria. :|

I'm also wondering how far along their Skills go. Do their Skills all only have 1 SP, or max, or what?

All of the merc stats are flat. Post level 60 stats and suggestions for what they should go up to in order to be acceptable in PvE and I will make adjustments.
