Merc Assist Issues

[Hammerstone]

<p>I'm 3 boxing...</p><p>#1 MT Zerk with Temp as my merc</p><p>#2 Illus with Warlock as merc</p><p>#3 Troub with Mystic as merc</p><p>I set all 3 mercs to follow, assist and protect the MT.  No matter what happens the only merc to engage, heal etc is the temp merc for #1.</p><p>My question is....what is the trick to get the other 2 merc's to get in the game??  I was anticipating the warlock firing off spells the moment my main tank attacked or gets attacked....the mystic to heal and fight as well...they just stand there!!</p><p>Thank you.</p>

<p>Yes, I am grouping with a tank friend, with assist set to him. My merc will not assist him. I have to send it in manually everytime. Rather disappointing.</p><p>No idea if this is intended or a bug.</p>

Known issue that mercs will not assist anyone other than their own employer.
