| Mercenary Facts With the Diablo II Expansion, the hired help has been greatly improved. | |
 |
Mercenaries can level up to 98, but can never level up higher than you. If they are at a higher level than your character when you hire them, they will not level up until you reach their level. |
|
Mercenaries can be healed with potions or wells, and are also affected by the Paladin's Holy Bolt or Prayer Aura. |
|
Mercenaries can die, not only by losing hit points, but also from being poisoned. If they are still poisoned when they get back to town, they can still die, until they are healed by the local healer. Also, in Act IV, if your merc dies, and the corpse gets eaten by a Corpse Spitter, the body will be gone, and you will not be able to resurrect them. |
|
If your mercenary dies, he can be resurrected from one of the townsfolk, although there will be a price. Of course, the higher level your merc is, the more expensive it will be. Resurrections can be performed by: Act I - Kashya Act II - Greiz Act III - Asheara Act IV - Tyreal Act V - Qual-Kehk |
|
Mercenaries can now follow you between Acts; so it is possible to keep your original Act I mercenary, if you wish. |
|
Although you can't hire mercenaries in Act Iv, Tyreal can resurrect for you. (Probably needs the money to pay the electricity bill for those wings of his.....) |
|
You can equip your mercenary with weapons, helms, and armor. The items you give them will not need repair, so this is a good way to use those Ethereal items. |
|
Be careful when playing with Assassins using their Shadow. The Assassin's Shadow could cast Mind Blast, and due to a bug, could accidently convert your mercenary. When the spell wears off, your merc will be left with only 1 hit point, and will probably die shortly. |
|
Mercenaries are also affected by Resistances, and when they level up, their resistances will increase. Just like player characters, mercenaries will start Nightmare and Hell difficulty games with Resistance penalties. |
|
Mercenaries have unlimited Mana, and can cast player spells, although you can't control which spells they will use when. |
