i vote no on mercs... it would give ppl another f***ing reason to steal loot from you. wouldnt that be annoying?
"dude plz i really need that sword, u dont even need it! cmon i gave you that shield!"
"no way man, my merc needs it!"

Why not just bring back any of the old Diablo 2 classes that don't make the cut in Diablo 3 as mercs? Obviously the Witch Doctor is a bit of a blend between a druid and a necro but unique in his own way. It's doubtful the necro or druid will be one of the 3 remaining classes. Would you rather wait around for an expansion and hope they return or see them as hirelings?
With a much improved and evolved merc system of course!
I like this idea. Considering mercs should be weaker than you for balance, it would make sense thematically also because they should be old and craggily by now. Plus they have the basic character abilities already there, they would just have to groom and prune.
i think it would help set the story. Everyone grew tired of constantly fighting after two decades, they go back home and chill. But allthey know is war, so they become gunzzz for hire for small little events, but then we come along in their lands and pick them up for some real action and integrate them back in the story. And they will have tons of dialog referring back to events in diablo 2, a pally will be like " i once ventured in these parts, look alive voodoo man, these trees can come alive before you have a chance to do a thing!"
and they could throw in some classic dialog during a fight such as "come here!" "For you" "this is yours" "thanks" and if he starts to die, "run!" "run away" or if your winning.... "DIE!" Time to die!" lawlz

(to umpa)Oh, I can picture that now. Some wiry old necromancer shouting, "When I was your age, we didn't have all of your bright colors and rainbows, only dungeons" before the hero turns around and says, "not even half of that game was in a dark dungeon" and the necro shouts "Shut up and let me be senile"

Ya and you have to carry around special prune juice potions for them, because regular red ones get them constipated.
and it's not that i dislike your idea, but under your conditions it defeats the purpose. If the necromancer is even a bit different than almost none of the necro fans will think it was even a good start. It's all or nothing with about 99.99%, and going halfway ruins the gameplay for everyone, even the people who didn't give a $#!^ if the necromancer returned, because now they feel that they just bought a $40 3d remake of i game they already bought for $9 at walmart
This is the most exciting idea I've heard thus far.
I can't begin to explain how much I'd love my merc to toss out bone prison, corpse explosion, curses, more graphic spells than old mercs, or hell... even just be a bear with a pet bear.
It could cause some pvp problems though.

Eww bone prison on an AI merc. They need to keep mercs simple so they dont step on your toes. I think they should make it so you choose like 2 spells that the merc uses and make it changeable whenever you want. So if you do get a merc with curses, turn it off if you got something better, or change it based on immunities of a monster.
in some circles of opinion, i figured people would think that. It's pretty common, but i can't stand how in a stretched way people can pay to feel like summoners

Do you think you'd pick the curse or maybe just pick for him to use curses?
I think picking a specific curse for your class may be a bit much.

They would look different (older), picked up a new spell or two, and forgotten several spells.
haha that would be great!

I was thinking specific spells but that might be hard to balance I guess.
