I know that mercs are supposed to provide great long ranged damage, at the cost of health and mele damage, but mine don't really seem to be performing well. On solo missions with enemies lvl 22 and 23, it seems to take horribly long to actually kill anything. I went through three sets of minions trying to take down a level 22 longbow warden. I'm level 21, my soldiers are slotted with 3 lvl 20 DOs, and 3 acc DOs, my spec ops is slotted with 2 acc, 2 disorient, and 2 damage. I have tactics and manuvers, but not assault.
Am I just overestimating what they should do, or am I doing something wrong?

I'd say you're about right. I had a lvl 20 mercs mm that performed the same. I tried missions on vicious and it just seemed to go horribly.

Level 21 is for many builds a very tough level. Many of your enemies are already SO ready, but you are still struggling with DO's. Struggle on and once you hit 22 you can almost double your damage and accuracy with SO's. Or at least it feels that way :)

I have a lvl 42 merc MM and they dont feel that way for me. It could be due to my secondary, Dark Miasma. The -res from Tar Patch could make it seem that way. I also have Assault, that could be another reaseon. I would wait and see how you feel after you get Rambo fully SOed along with your others.
You could always copy over to test and see if Assault instead of Man. makes a difference for you.

Thanks for the input, I think I'll just soldier on till I can get some SOs, maybe respec to assault if I get desperate.
