I think there are caster merc related bugs given at least these two issues:
1. The merc is using AE spells when balanced is selected. The option 'balanced' isn't well defined but hopefully that's intended to be safe choice. I'd think lower DPS to keep agro down and no AEs to avoid breaking mez, etc.
2. The merc is using some spells from older expansions so it may not be scaling properly based on player level.
Out of 502 casts while using the merc on Balanced I saw these counts:
My player is level 115 so shouldn't Ethereal Skyblaze be Ethereal Brand instead? Fiery Pillar, Coldburst Torrent, and Katelanaga should not be used it all since they're AEs.
I was seeing about 36k DPS with a little bit of Enchanter ADPS. If those 29 AEs were Restless Ice Cascade instead it would go up to around 38.5K. Then if those Skyblaze casts were replaced with Ethereal Brand it would be around 45k DPS. I have very few merc DPS AAs so this would be the minimum but I'm not sure if people with max AAs are seeing a big increase over this?
I'll add some counts from using the Burn option later.
