Thoughts on Merchant

[horologium]

In your opinion, is he worth the $$$. Explain.

Honestly his ability doesn't seem that good even if he can carry two items. TBH I've only gotten it once but even then other characters overshadow him. He could be good for bosses though...

He seems like he would be useful late game exept at that point DM's are the meta so i don't think of him as that useful.

Yeah he's sort of a derp. By the time you can afford to by his favorite soda and hire him, you have enough gold stored away for his +gold bonus to be NOT worth the fact that he has no real combat skills. Even the poor little Conscript at least has a bonus to crit dmg after you get the relic. If you have Merchant relic, you unock the Affluence skill which is a decent group-attack based on physical damage BUT it does not critical and it costs 1000 gold each time you use it. So really the best way to use a merchant in my opinion is to dual-class a Shifter if you really MUST HAVE that +gold bonus. Otherwise, there is equipment you can use that achieves the same effect without wasting a hero slot or a shifter stone slot.
