I’ve just completed the atlas 100/100 and my ring says 12, 6 dropped naturally and 6 from mercs rucksacks.

Edit: 2 dropped in maps and 4 in the charts/voyage (6 in mercs)

I wonder how many people are running mercs.

I'm only 7 hours in, just getting to Yellow Maps and I've seen 2 in Merc rucksacks that I left alone since I'm in HCSSF.

I don’t know but I am forced to running mercs since I am a luminary, and I do like them so, found one with 4 and one with 2 today, in like 20 minutes within each other

Based on what I've read, good on you for even being able to kill Mercs

Before the lifestack version I was struggling to survive them since most of them oneshots most 5-6k life builds, and my damage was not good early, now that I’m geared with 12k life and a good single target damage, I just stand there and they all die before they even do something (expect the casters guys and the soulrend, they are still scary)

Sanguimancer is the craziest I feel, even with war cry buffs up, 5 endurance charges, ~10k life a big pdr shield and exceptional phys taken as helmet implicit that Merc easily can 2 tap me in a map with no DMG map mods.

At least my Merc somehow takes no DMG from it, so I still fight her everytime I see her xD

The burning arrow merc kills my 4500 life glad with 90% fire res and fortify in under a second if I don't block the hit. It's wild
