Iron wolves?

Anyway i always use act 2 mercenaries, they have aura's.

Normal:
Defensive - Defiance
Offensive - Blessed Aim
Combat - Prayer

Nightmare:
Defensive - Holy Freeze
Offensive - Might
Combat - Thorns

Hell:
Same as normal, only then higher lvl

In 1.10 i like defiance and holy freeze most, in 1.09 might was also a very good choice, but i don't feel that it so great in 1.10 anymore...

My barbarian, lvl 77, uses another barbarian. Coz i thought it would create a good backup and to lessen time killing strong enemy. Currently, my merc barb uses Bz Zhy Wang unique sword but his base damage isnt high I thought by casting Battle Command (increases lvl), would add to his damage. But it didnt, just that he has auras under his feet. Nothing happens.

My Paladin has been so successful with the desert warrior. I choose, defiance. With the help from fanaticsm, my merc does 1000+ damage which is so good. Its very fun playing along with them. Just that he doesnt really care about his own situation but most likely love to jump into hordes of enemies.

Just a little thought that in D3, there is a button command to let them know when to fall back and when to "storm the front"

The other characters ive created, they uses:

1. Druid - Ice Rogue; since he can summon his own companion and doesnt have long range attack.
2. Necro - Fire Rogue;I choose fire rogue, not the cold ones. Coz, it doesnt matter
3. Assassin - Sand warrior Defensive; need her defence up.
4. Sorcerer - Barbarian;a FAQ ive read, he advises to use the sand warrior due to sorc defence she has. I didnt put any points to dex. It wasnt helping enough using the 2nd act merc, so i choose barb for a max physical damage.
5. Rogue - sand warrior Offensive;Needs her attack rating up as much. Yes in Nightmare, she would do a very nice damage with the Might.

I dont really know whether these merc are well enough for my chars though but im sitting comfortably so far.

I think the one that Akasya (if im not mistaken) dedicate you (or us all) the Rogue as a regard, is much powerful than any other hireable rogues available.

Sadly, why cant she uses a Crossbow? That's weird. Or is it like, Bliz had to make another form of rogue using a crossbow?

Your barb should use a defiance
Your pala should use a defiance or holy freeze
Your druid should use a holy freeze merc
Your Necro should use a prayer merc if he uses skeletons and revives, otherwise you might want to go for a barb merc
Your assa should use a holy freeze merc, defense has no use, a assa has simply way to low, low + a extra bit is still low, holy freeze on the other hand slows the enemy down, which means you get less hit
Sorceress should use a cold rogue if sorc doesnt use FO otherwise a fire, the reason for this is because a sorc can teleport away
Bowazon, well personally i would say go for might or holyfreeze, and put some points in penetrate i believe, and use for normal monsters guided arrow.

Can we choose which one we like?? Or did you mean i have to wait for Nightmare and then i could have holy freeze, right?

Just that i dont like when my 2nd act merc jump into hordes of enemies. It was irritating that I have to look after him, more than myself Reviving this lvl 77 merc now took about 44000. So expensive.

Good idea Gohan, you moved my thinking a bit. Maybe I had to sort out everything all over. It wont be a matter though.

I have one point into prenetrate. All of my girls are at lvl 34, still in normal mode.

Let me get this thing straight, you can only get holy freeze while ur in Nightmare right? Okay...

haha that's dedication!

Depending on who I was playing, I usually used a barb from Act5, or a mage from Act3. Didn't really care about any skills, I just wanted someone to be a temporary shield.
