Just wondered what people think would be the best merc to pair with a Troub. I grabbed the Paly merc, and it's working well so far, but I'm going through admittedly simple content, and haven't really tried to do much with him. I suspect a DPS merc would work as well/better than the Paly.
In my opinion i would say a dps merc would be best. I would go with a wizard or caster merc if i were you simply because your buffs that you give benefit casters more.
Warden, put upbeat tempo on it. go try to kill yourself unless the boss ignores scout avoidance you can solo it -this includes protectors realm (all bosses) / shard of hate ( first 3 bosses) happy farming pools, grab a threat proc item for ascent
