Who would have guessed that I am having fun with the melee damage merc? I did some parsing over the weekend with a WIZ merc head to head with a ROGUE merc. The Rogue merc was easily 20K DPS ahead of the WIZ merc. Since I 2 box a Bard it only gets better. On balanced, I was seeing an average of close to 50K DPS from the Rogue merc with bursts into the 80K range. I have been moloing in GMM instances with a rogue merc and just spot healing the pet as needed to level up the evolving gear.

Them dichos ftw 8-)
Reviving this thread. Using 2 rogue mercs now in gmm on burn. Just let them tank ftw.
The dps is crazy.
Boxing a cleric to keep shining aegis on the mercs and healing them helps lol.
Rogue merc(s) + Bard + BST = a whole lotta fun!
