I think at lower levels, mercs are currently overpowered, but it balances out quite a bit at higher levels depending on your server content difficulty. Merc stats can be adjusted in the merc_stats table with some fairly simple queries if you need. I would have to double check, but I think you may even be able to just adjust the scale field to have them scale down to whatever rate you think feels right (50%, 25%, whatever). I am not positive offhand if that is currently functional, but I am sure it wouldn't be too hard to add if not.
Mercs are still in development to work out the remaining bugs, but they are fairly functional at this point (compared to how they were in the past).
