honestly i dont use them. when farming most content its just not worth the time to resurrect them. The only time i have really considered putting alot of elite gear on merc has been with sorc to keep some heat off her, but it didnt work at all. Unless i wanted to re summon constantly. Merc's only work well with heroes that have alot of valks/shadow warriers/pets/summons/skeles/fire golems. But for the heroes that need it the most. ie sorc, it dosnt work at all other than using h.o.h.

It would be cool to see a buff, but would rather see alex put his time into other projects.
