crushing blow on a mercenary.

[phillol]

Hi. I'm aware that a mercenary suffers something like a 75% damage penalty against bosses, meaning it only does 25% of its full damage against the likes of mephisto and baal, etc. However, does this mean that a crushing blow done by the mercenary against a boss, which will usually be 1/8 of a bosses's life, will only 1/4 of the 1/8, or in other words 1/32 of the bosses life?

Can someone clarify this for me how crushing blow on a mercenary might be different than on a character, if it is?

Mercs dont suffer a damage penalty against anything i do believe, they do, however, take 4x? damage from bosses. The crushing blow isn't affected.

Andariel, Duriel, Mephisto and Baal does 3x as much damage when attacking mercenaries. Diablo deals 7x as much damage.

As far as I know, mercenaries deal full damage when attacking act bosses.
