GGG Please Remove Mercenary Attribute requirement to equip gear.

The Mercenary Attribute requirement to equip gear is an unintuitive, unfun, and unnecessary system. Allowing the requirement to stay will greatly diminish build variety for mercenary. Why aren't I allow to build a 2h mace wielding mercenary that uses energy shield gear to survive? I can't see a reason to needing such a pointless counter intuitive system. If attribute are needed for gear generation and skill generation purposes than implement it in the background and remove gear equipment attribute requirements, whatever it needs to be done, allow players full freedom to customization over the mercenary's gear to their liking. Mercenarys is the most interesting thing about this new league, something poe 1 players have been waiting for almost a year for. please don't mess it up by adding in such a frustrating and pointing friction point.
