I have not figured out if there is control over the mercs like you can the bots.

Noooo, not even close. Mercs, they will follow and fight or heal. One merc spawn per player. Bots have a lot more options for NPC grouping. Only downside, you have to gear all your bots, haha

It all depends on how you want to fight mobs, if you're going to use npc's. A merc can be good at lower levels to run around with. But if you want to kill a higher level boss, with a virtual group(s), bots would do it.

We're pretty much just using them to round out our groups at this point. Bots might be something I look at in the future but for now the Mercs will do. What level will their usefulness start to fizzle out? Not talking about raids or anything like that. Just me and a few friends that play on my server.
