Inventory Merc Tab

I would like to see the four inventory items for mercs instanced to each merc so different amour/weapons can be assigned to each. Plus please add mercenary point info to the tab like in the interface "TBM Smaller Inventory"

I'd like it if equipping the weapons and shield on tank/rogue mercs didn't make them worse.

And ability to fit them with ornaments so we can play dress up.

Is that still bugged? What has always bugged me about it is how dev's totally ignore the problem, would be nice if one could at least say "yea it's broken but we are to busy to fix it for now"

That was my first thought. If they are going to spend anytime at all on Mercenary Equipment, this should be the first priority.

Just go with AC items. Best stat for all merc types. No need to switch stuff around for healer, dps and tank.

Thank you - I'll try that

I rarely use tank merc, are you saying I should leave the sword and shield slots empty?

If you use a tank merc or melee dps merc, never put anything in the shield slot. Primary should be fine (at least for tanks).

Reasons? Less dmg, less aggro? What about wiz mercs?

They know its broke. Since they have not fixed it one can assume by their inaction that they are happy with power of mercs without any changes. The other possibility is the person who wrote the merc code left, and everyone left does Noes Goes [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nose_goes] when it is brought up.

Wiz merc and healer would be fine. For melee dps, it treats anything in the second slot as a shield. Even if you put a weapon there, it stops dual wielding. You can actually see it switch to the bash animation. For tank mercs this cuts the aggro generation way down and it won't hold aggro off more than /attack.

Apparently, the gear for healer mercs makes them less efficient as well.
