While some classes wouldn't hire themselves out for money, they would if there's a series of quest you have to do to gain their help on your quests.
I want to have all the character classes from the previous games to come back as mercs. And make them to have no summon, but give them their other offensive skill. Allow them to have full set of armor, with their own inventory, but unlike Player, they can only equipt certain type of weapon (limit them so that they can't play for you.)
Example would be: Paladin can only equip Targe and sword/hammer/mace and the rest of the item (1 ring, 1 amulet, 1 belt for their own potion, boot and guantlet)
Same for Sorc, but instead of Targe and sword, they can only equipt staffs or orb (make the orb look like actual floating glowing orb this time, lol).
Barb: no shield, just 1 2handed weapon or 2 weapons.
ect!!!
I think that a targe is kinda pushing it, maybe a shield and a scepter for the Paladin.
I also think that Necro's and Druid's involvement would depend on the story line. If Hell is really invading then yes, the Necros and Druids would be mercs, but if it's more akin to Diablo 1's story line, or even a little lighter then Diablo 2's, I can't see Necro's and Druid's involving themselves much. Heaven seems to be gaining too much power as is, and I don't see them fighting for the overpowered side. (And lets face it, your going to be fighting for Heaven, because if you fought for Hell, the IRL Churches of our world would be up in arms.)
Oh! What if some of the mercs were the actual characters from Diablo 2... The Druid and Necromancer are out, they wouldnt do that for the money. Doubt the sorceress either. I could see the Paladin, the Amazon, and maybe the Assassin though...
Then again, Blizzard loves its Paladins, so Paladin will probably be a playable class... *Eye roll.*
(Side note: The A1 merc is not the rouge from D1, the D1 rouge is Blood Raven. The A1 merc is one of the sisters of the sightless eye that didn't fall or sway to Andariel.)
