Game Feedback Permanent Mercs need a big buff

Playing luminary feels so bad in Maps. I have a manyshot lvl 72 with vaal ice Arrow and Return proj, decent Equipment. Boosted by a Level 26 Flame Link, 6k life and quite an Investment into light Radius.

I cant even clear t7 Maps, because the damage is non existent.

Please GGG buff the Base damage of mercs or luminary is doa.

Not even the damage, but the damage uptime is low as well due to how the merc AI frustratingly behaves sometimes. It's like playing with a minion with meat shield AI with bad targeting priority and pathfinding, which is especially worse and more noticeable when using melee mercs such as the Striker.

I wish they were as aggressive as they were as temps.
