I am wondering if people here think the merc classes would be suitable diablo 3 classes. So far we have the Barbarian who can be hired in act5. We have the wizard who is comparable to the act3 mercs. Next we have the witch doctor (not really a merc class, rather the unique monster from act3 who guards khalim's brain.
The act1 merc was ranged but not an amazon. These mercs were rogues and so i expect the ranged class to be named Rogues.
now were left with just the act 2 mercs to be incorperated. Ingame these guys were pole bearing, aura enchanted hirelings. I think these guys would make an excellent hybrid which seems to be the 5th class people want. I think the act2 mercs could manifest in D3 as a three teired attacker. First they use their poles to keep enemies at a distance, once their pole is overcome they can draw a sword with which they desplay their short range skills. If the sword proves inferior they can escape or retreat to a safer position and start over.
Act 2 guards were cool as mercs, and even cooler as Npcs guarding their sandy oasis. The a1 merc is like the rogue in D1, and she was nice. You make many good points.
E1 - Use The Search Function (But Don't Revive Dead Threads!)
Do not post threads the sole purpose of which is to ask other to direct you to some other thread on the boards. If you want to find a thread that suits your needs, do a search for it. This said, should you find a thread using the search feature that has been dormant (not posted in) for over 3 months, don't post in it. Create a new thread. Posting in a long-dormant thread is Thread Necromancy and is not allowed.

Furthermore, had you used the search function, like I prescribed to you earlier, you would have realized we already have threads on this topic. Here's an example: http://www.diablofans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17303.
