Bots and Mercs KB? Gone!

On test server, actually. Oh boy, best day ever.

Can't wait for these changes. Really looking forward to rolling a mercs mastermind!

The Merc and Necro revamps are huge. Two powers specifically: Serum. An AoE buff, no crash and it sounds like it can be made perma. Though there is diminishing returns over it's duration. Serum was pretty crappy before, any improvement is welcome.

 

Soul Extraction. Up to 6 additional pets, they last for 60s, can be made perma. Tested it and the new pets are not exact copies of the Zombies, Grave Knight and Lich. They have their own powers. Imo, if the revamp goes unchanged, it will be the best MM T7 primary power. Better than Gang War and Hell on Earth. 

 

I have no attacks on my Necro and didn't test the Spectral Minions. Did't have time for a respec.

 

Thoughts on the other new T7s. Bot's Maintenance Drone, haven't tried it but feel it won't be very useful for a lot of secondaries with a heal. Might be pretty decent paired with Cold, Sonic, Trick Arrow etc.

 

Ninja's Smoke Flash. Didn't test this either. It sounds pretty cool but it's only real advantage is the endurance it will save.

Very excited for MOAR CRITS ninjas and spoopy ghosts in necro.

I am excite to not pay the KB2KDtax anymore on my bots/mercs, now I can make them even tougher by adding resistance pet auras or buildups

I was really hoping Serum would be made an AOE buff!!!
