I have played NB several times, and now I decided to post my thoughts about upgrading Mercenary, who is not as interesting and worth as other melee's.
So let's start:
1. Passive less stamina cost for every action while joining (best unique bonus in my opinion)
- it might be like 10% or something
2. An option to obtain additional physical defensive stats
Flat stats just for joining to mercenaries are too strong early and too weak in late game, so we should get these stats while playing.
I suggest give a possibility to buy potions from trolls from Sagitta (after quest) - capped by chapter
Or learn how to add stats on anvil to our armor from Bennet (it will require a lot of iron)
3. Possibility to obtain more Thekla's stew (or even change it a bit)
Several ways to do this:
- she give us (for example) 5 portions per day every chapter
- we bring her ingredients
- we learn how to make it (similar to fire mage and his amun-su)
Also, this food should provide us with our preferred statistic, so it will be not only fantastic for STR but DEX builds too (but no mana!)
4. (WARNING, this might sound like a joke, maybe it is) Add skill to learn: "Second Wind"
When our health drops to 10%-20%, we heal for some portion of our total hp
For balance - cooldown 120-180 sec, 10-20 LP for that.
I think I could add more funny points like the last one, but in my point of view Mercenary doesn't need something new, he just needs upgrade on these things that he already has. I mean, if we look at the better health potions he can obtain now - its nice and unique, something what others don't have and make him special. Add some more things like that, and he will be so much fun2play!
Give some love to Mercenary
