If she has a demon "pet", lore wise I think it would be more like submission by physical force as oppose to some mind control. I think of it more as forced slavery.

According to the response we got in the interview, I would confidently say that the DH is getting some form of summon/pet. If so, this will definitely be my first class to play.
I am sure at this point it is more of a "What type of pet do we include?"
Perhaps they should check this poll to see what most people want

I don't think the minion is supposed to help herd monsters together for you. In my opinion, any ranged class needs a minion primarily to help them get distance form the mobs. whether it is by attracting attention or drawing in monsters. Either way, the minion helps the DH get the much needed room to stay safe while still be able to inflict damage. I think this is especially true for the DH who seems to have even fewer close range skills than the wizard. And if the wizard is getting one, the DH better be as well.
BTW, if the DH is getting some sort of minion of any kind, this will be my ultimate choice for class.

Would you be able to revive (Control would make sense for the name) more than 1 at a time or it increase with level?
@Lichink - I think controlling and dominating over those she hates would seem ok. I definitely would not like some random animal. Which one(s) did you have in mind.
@Magistrate - I think a shadow like the assassin would make the most sense but I really want more demon!!Think of the cool demons that could come up with for her.

A demon that is designed just to be her familiar or one that she can take control of from the existing monsters? How strong would it be? Very weak, die often and you keep recasting or something stronger that can hold its own for the most part?

I am starting this thread after starting a conversation in the "more shadow spells thread". I didn't want to clutter up that thread with this one specific idea so I am starting a new one.
So, the topic is the Demon Hunter having some sort of minion/summon. Would you like it? What type? How strong? Right now, the Witch Doctor is the main summoning/pet class. I expect it to remain this way. However, that does not mean that other classes can't dabble in this area. In fact, the Wizard now has a skill called familiar that creates another wizard to fight along side you. I would really like the Demon Hunter to have a similar pet mechanic but there are a lot of options. I have created a poll with popular opinions but feel free to voice your own or ideas on the ones presented.
I personally would like a single demon that I can summon. Since they took away the demon hunter being a demon (which isnt a bad thing) I would still like a more demon feel. I think having this pet would hit the spot. Something like the grizzly of the druid. Or perhaps a choice of either a tanking demon or a damage one.
