There's also the Ultimate Merc Guide by BoneSpirit (found here), from which I drew inspirations. This is a collection of various players' knowledge and experience put together in one written article. The information found in this guide is not entirely my own original ideas. Therefore, if you have an idea (tested or otherwise) for another merc build that isn't covered in this guide, I encourage you to share your build in the replies so the community as a whole will benefit from it. They have their moments in classic Diablo II, but in Median XL, hirelings have been elevated to a whole new level of usefulness like never before.Įven though I have invested a good chunk of time into tinkering over many seasons, this guide is not meant to be all-encompassing but more of a foundation on which newer players could build their understanding and in turn, their own versions of merc if they so choose. Hirelings, or mercenaries, are helpful companions in your adventures throughout the world of Sanctuary.

Don't expect the powerhouse they used to be. Quick warning: All mercs have been massively nerfed in patch 2.0.
