I would like to see the mercenaries make a return, only with a little more customization. The obvious improvement over D2 would be making all gear slots available to the merc. Take it a step further though. Allow to player to determine where the stat points are spent for a merc. Also, in D2 the mercs had different abilities, the best example being the Act 2 mercs with their different auras. How about in Diablo 3 the player can choose not to spend those stat points on increasing a mercs stats but instead the strength of their skill. Or even make seperate spendable points that can be put toward one of three skill trees your merc has. You can't choose the particular skills, those are still random, but spending points in a tree opens up new possible skills for the merc to use at random.
