They clarified more details about mercs. Each merc will have a set affinity for certain attributes (Str/Int/Dex). They can only use gear that requires those attributes. And they can only use weapons appropriate for their 'archetype'.

We'll need to find an Int caster merc and give it Gravebind and 2x Obliteration. And eventually find one that has a useful aura too. Not sure if a perfect combination will be avaialble. But even without an aura, the explosions will make the Trickster very happy.

Yeah. I meant figuring out a way to work this alt Heavy Strike into the build, like how we used to manually cast a Vortex in close quarters. But I have no idea whether 4500% increased attack damage (1500% * 1.5 * guaranteed double damage) is useful with no other bonuses to attack/melee. Then again, Vortex got dropped when they made it no longer be insta-cast, so I guess clubbing a tanky mob with our beat stick would similarly interrupt our normal damage-dealing.

But Gravebind is Str/Dex hybrid glove? So you cannot use it on int merc. You need to find Str or Dex or Str/Dex one (that can also equip wands).

How does equipping Mercenaries with items work? Can any Mercenary be equipped with any item?

Each Mercenary is associated with Attributes. Mercenaries will generate with gear that matches the Attributes they are associated with, and will only be able to be equipped with new Armour gear that matches their Attributes in the following way:

For Mercenaries with a single Attribute, any Armour gear that requires that Attribute is valid. For Mercenaries with multiple Attributes, any Armour gear that requires an Attribute not associated with that Mercenary is invalid.

As an example: A Strength Mercenary will be equippable with gear requiring just Strength, Strength + Dexterity or Strength + Intelligence. A Dexterity/Intelligence Mercenary will be equippable with gear requiring just Dexterity, just Intelligence or Dexterity + Intelligence.

Mercenaries do not need to meet attribute requirements outside of the above rule. Mercenaries need to be within 70% of level requirements of an item to equip it.

Mercenaries also have preferred weapon types, and will not equip weapons that do not match their preferred types. Generally, they are going to prefer weapons that they can actually use their skills with.

Another hope is that there will be a Scion type merc (Str/Dex/Int).

I do wonder if it's possible to change their skills to change their weapon? But that seems unlikely.

I asked on reddit and somebody replied yes, there will be Str/Dex/Int mercs. Yay!
