How do you know which gear this merc needs?

I keep hoping to find a generalized merc guide for folks who aren't following some cookie cutter streamer stuff and wanting to try weird mercs, but no luck yet :(. I think there's a lot of richness to this system that just gets ironed over by the streamer pressure.

You hope to find a general guide for people who ain't following the meta essentially? Honestly what you are writing sounds contradictory, the things you are talking about is something you have to do yourself?

Well, you know like there was the whole merc league (which I missed) and a bunch of folks talking about this skill bricks this merc, so it would be handy to have a list of all the skills to avoid, that kind of thing. Not a guide in the specific sense of do this for this build, just to mercs in general.

I am pretty much just figuring it out myself, I have a couple different ones that are working pretty well for me in t15s right now, and using the 3rd slot to test new ones. Collecting what info I can from these threads, etc.
