Did they buff Merc?

I only played Merc pre-patch for 300 hours lvl 92. So far in Act 1 cemetery and not 1 death and it seems easy. Only passives in damage and 1 in attack speed.

Maybe I haven't progressed enough but Merc seems easier. I only played after the several hot fixes so maybe it's a little better than first release or maybe Merc is actually good and everything else was nerfed into the ground

It does feel like they slowed down movement speed though

not exactly buffed merc, but buffed crossbows buffed him indirectly

wait for endgame thats were all fun is not on merc
