Can you please consider reverting the returning projectiles nerf on splitting steel to something closer to what Frost Blades got? Its such a fun skill and unclear why it got hit harder than something like Lightning Strike. Surely there was a more clever way to adjust it rather than what was done.

How often do we have to pay the mercenaries? Softcore, solo self-found. ----- Currently: ----- Holy Relic of Conviction Flicker Strike Necromancer in Mercenaries	Posted by SunsetVista#4840 on Jun 9, 2025, 10:44:48 PM Quote this Post
It makes sense that Mercs don't get skills from Sockets on gear, but what about skills from lines on gear like Harby Uniques or Focus?	Posted by tyler811#6180 on Jun 9, 2025, 10:47:51 PM Quote this Post
" Mercenaries need to be within 70% of level requirements of an item to equip it. Why? Can anyone theorize why they made it this way. Also does this work both ways. Like a level 80 Merc can't wear a level 50 item?? I'm very confused by this. "The key to winning any fight is simply staying alive."

The notes stated that all recipes from unveiling are now found in maps instead, but can it be confirmed that this includes the special crafts such as Catarina/flasks? Or are they gone?	Posted by Ateya#0301 on Jun 9, 2025, 11:13:57 PM Quote this Post
Usually I very much prefer league mechanics to be account wide, but for this one it would be better if it was character bound. What if I make 5 very different characters in the league, needing different auras or specific uniques on mercs, and we can recruit just 3 of them?

" Does a Runebind count as a "different" mastery for the purpose of skills like Trickster's Polymath, or do they count as the same mastery, for the purpose of things like the life mastery that grants 10% more life if you have 6 life masteries? Yes, although all Runegrafts count as the same type of Mastery. They do not count as Life masteries. Can you explain this a little better? I'm not completely sure I understand what you're saying here.	Posted by CBFTW#0432 on Jun 9, 2025, 11:36:28 PM Quote this Post

I'm not completely sure I understand what you're saying here. If you put 6 runebind on your tree, it counts as 6x mastery allocation. But they are not life masteries, so you cannot use 1 life mastery (ex: 50+ maximum life) with 5 runebind. It wont count as 6 life masteries.

Is it 3 mercenary per character or per account? It would be bad to have 3 high level merc already and not being able to recruit new ones for your new character. Also, will we someday be able to let our mercenary fight in an arena and place bets?	Posted by Alexandra_Momo#4012 on Jun 10, 2025, 12:10:21 AM Quote this Post
