Crossbow + Mercenary.... completely sucks!

I've been playing Mercenary for almost 1600 hours. All this time from the beginning I was hoping that the new patches coming would significantly strengthen the combination between the Mercenary class and the use of the Crossbow. I was disappointed and despite the different new content, the situation remains the same. Bad implementation between bad choices.

1. There is no diversity in builds when it comes to the Mercenary class. 90% of players use the "Deepest Tower" build not because it is GREAT, but because it is the most acceptable in DPS, despite the fact that it does 1/20th the damage of Bow builds or generally Meta builds... (Guess what the others do). My favorite build is somewhere between flammability and frost creation. I tried flammability to start, but passive nodes don't help because there are only two relevant ones in Merc's P.tree. Whatever I did to find another build stronger than the "Deepest Tower build" without sacrifizing defences, failed and with that i lost interest in trying any other attempt. (The only thing I'm 100% sure of is the upcoming nerfs to the Deepest Tower build. That ruins any hope in new updates.)

2. The Xbow seems very weak (besides map clearings) and before "genius" players judge this opinion, I will tell them to try to kill the Boss alone in an entire group using Crossbow in less than 20 seconds without any help from the group.Yes, because some combinations of class and weapon can do it in 3 seconds. What the h*** is wrong with you guys, don't you see the astronomical differences in DPS? And if you do, do you feel good playing as an elephant in a party of mice? Come on, where is your honor? As i did the experiment to kill a random boss with my XBOW (being in a full party) with no party help i counted 386 hits (with breaking continuously his Armour). After that my fingers feeld like i dived them into the water. Same experiment with some builds need 2-3 click...F*********. I will mention here that my weapon is top becouse it reaches 690 physical and 180 chaos danage. I don't want to think about how poor guys feel when they use mediocre Xbows. Balance should be the first and continuously priority of the next patches becouse right now it ruins everything except OP builds.

3. And after that Devs still thinking about if it is a good idea to bring of-hand gear to Xbow or not. For what??? For 10% more damage??? Seriously..... No Comment!

4. Another frustration I have with the Xbox/Merc class is the skills. Most of them, despite the help the herald skills provide in clearing the maps, are weak. The simple "crossbow shot" skill is much stronger than any other when fighting bosses. We need such as skills that use concentrated force on one bolt and not distributed over many bolts. Also, attack speed should be increased by 15-20% on all skills, because they seem too slow, especially considering reloading as a disadvantage compared to other weapons.

To Devs: Please don't treat us like enemies. We're trying to help the game get better. Listen to what we suggest. It's good for your bottom line too. Your best game gets very few reviews on Steam and that's not because of customer malice, but because of the chaos caused by balance issues.

seems to me that the deepest tower is out of fashion.

the current fashion is constricting command viper cap which has replaced the deepest tower.

I thought they removed deepest tower from the game after 0.3
