What is the point of Pac-Man morph? As far as I can tell it's easier to complete the Secret Level without using it. Am I missing something?
Edit: I totally understand that you supposed to play Pac-Man game as Pac-Man, but how it can be useful? Image

it's useful, because as being morphed as pacman allows you to eat the power pellets, which enables you to kill the ghosts

Strength give all mers heroic bonus:

Per strength point: Enhanced Weapon Damage +1%
Per strength point: Regenerate Life +1
Per strength point: +0.25 Energy Factor to Spell Damage, so

Act5 mers: socket everything with "Ko" or " P. Diamond" for strength

How about Act 1, at2, and act3 mers?

Dex buff Act1 merc damage and Energy buff Act3 merc damage. So what is more beneficial for them? Strength or Dexterity?

A3 merc is a caster. Use anything you’d normally use to give your own caster character more dmg. Same with a1 merc and dexterity since they gain bonus dmg and such from dex if they’re using a dex based weapon

My argument is that they also benefit a lot from Strength, and I don't know which attribute give the most damage potential.

Well, I'm not saying that str win vs all, as for act 3 merc with all equipment socketed with Um rune or P.Topaz can give a total of 160% energy could get more than 6000 Energy, and easily achieve +450% spell damage from those energy factor

No, A3 merc = Energy

They benefit from energy much more than from STR.

Bonus to energy = Spell damage // Bonus to energy = Spell damage
At 500 STR // At 1000 STR

0% = 400 // 0% = 418
5% = 410 // 5% = 428
10% = 419 // 10% = 438
15% = 428 // 15% = 441
20% = 436 // 20% = 441
25% = 442 // 25% = 442
30% = 443 // 30% = 443
35% = 443 // 35% = 443
40% = 444 // 40% = 444
45% = 444 // 45% = 444
50% = 445 // 50% = 445
55% = 445 // 55% = 445
60% = 446 // 60% = 446
65% = 446 // 65% = 446
70% = 447 // 70% = 447
75% = 447 // 75% = 447
80% = 447 // 80% = 447
85% = 448 // 85% = 448
90% = 448 // 90% = 448
95% = 448 // 95% = 448
100% = 448 // 100% = 448


You gave him 500 more STR and in return you got 17% spell damage while 258 Energy or 10% more already give 19% and it's better in the long run since at 25% bonus to energy you got 0 bonus from more str.
