Mercenaries

since the implementation of the new skills, finding decent mercs has become more difficult.
many players use their T5 mercs when moving to T6, or spend lots and lots of diamonds till they find good ones.

The mercs are random generated. So are and their skills. Before the  new skill the "program" had to select skills from a pool of lets say 20 different skills. Now it has to select from a pool with 25 skills. This means that the "good" skills have less possibility to appear. But the good and bad skills vary from player to player.

I give you wrong.
 I think that programmers have reduced bonuses on mercenaries, because time ago, even with new skills implemation, I had found easily good mercenaries.
Now, It is impossible.
For example, i just now was seeking a mistic tier 7.... he has healing skill at 5, and healing at 5.. Stop, nothing more...a tier 7 so...?? :o :o
time ago, was possible find healing skill at 10, with healing 10 at tier 5... now at tier 7 i found this one... :'(

I will not tell that you are wrong, but I find it difficult to believe it. Can you give me one good reason why they do something like that?
I still think it's all random generated, with some parameters, but random and not intentionally crippling.

As Crassus wrote merceneries have more possible skills than before to generate from and that's why it's more difficult to find proper merc with exact nice skills. Other than that it's just a superstition I presume. You need to do some statistics to prove your thesis stealth, which is undoubtedly a difficult task.

No changes have been made to mercenaries.
