Mercenaries, hirelings - gotta love 'em. Median XL has not forgotten about these trusty allies, and they have been given a much-needed makeover in order for them to continue serving you well.
- Damage is good, but a dead mercenary deals none. Therefore, don't forget to equip them with gear that has good defence and resistances.
- The Act 3 mercenaries already have high energy and energy factor, so to really amp up their damage output give them gear with +x% to Spell Damage, -x% to Enemy Resistances, and +x to All Skills. Elemental damage buffs like Bloodlust and Elemental Totem also help them.
- Sometimes a mercenary will stop doing anything. A known game (not mod) bug which occasionally happens when you walk. To fix this, simply use a town portal.
- Mercenaries need a little time to warm up into their battle mindset - don't worry if they seem to start slowly.
Weakened by the prolonged siege, the Sisters of the Sightless Eye may not be in fighting condition. But help them liberate the Monastery and watch them rise and shine.
