Ok, thanks!

Hu ?
i dont think thats the case, merc help a lot especially in the midgame section where a merc can tank a lot in k3k / duncraig / fautzenville.
And later on the dmg boost he can give with mark of the wild+bloodlust is not half bad. Additionally something like mythal on amulet can further buff your dmg. With enough str and resists he can also survive quite some labs.
Also obviously the whole-screen-stun he provides from time to time.

More squichy chars, so most ranged chars, benefit greatly from a merc.

I use one, but it seems like a lot of the guides on here mention mercs as if they are a side thought. Perhaps I'm wrong but I got the impression most people didn't bother with them.

Hey I just heard that season is ending soon. Is that true? I don't know about that stuff cause I came back to this game after 2 years off. So if it is true, is there a place we can learn about stuff like season start and end?

Less than a month left probably, ladders usually reset every 3 months, last reset was january 17.

Hi, what builds (from T0 or T1 tier list because I'm a newbie) use set items as main/mid game gear ?
I've always found set items concept exciting, but I can't afford to start a character without a guide...
For exemple, is Caoi Dulra druid set any good ? I prefer caster or ranged play style.
Thanks !

bow amazon, melee sorceress, holy melee paladin, unholy melee paladin, throw barb, summoner necro, summoner barb, trap assassin, wolf druid. probably more, but those are the ones I tested and work wonders with their sets

Does anyone actually enjoy seeing gold find cycles drop in Triune? Are they a relic of the past, or used to pad out the drop pool? Getting a large cycle and seeing it's gold find is like a genuine bad feeling.
