all Hierlings do in Munchkin is hold your stuff and they make for great kill-bait/sacrifices for running away....

oh, wait, wrong game.

I use mercs for all my characters except for my 1pt Smiter since mercs typically get knocked off quickly in the uber levels.

And who cares about bumping an old thread? Better than making a new one, amirite?

Re: Poll: why some ppl dont use hirelings

a lot of people cant choice right merc and dont know how to make them strong.so they are sick of resurect them and pay 50k gold every time.e.g. some people playing summoners dont use merc cause they cant manage him and he dies very often.the reason is, that many people prefer pala merc even in cases where pala merc is not suite...
edit:my favourite soso is blizzard/iceblast+meteor/firebaal and i use merc for tanking but at first cause of mana (insight).so this merc is mana-porter :)

The only time I didn't bother resurrecting my merc is when I'm farming Hellfire Charms on my paladin; the merc dies more or less instantly in Uber Tristram.

Otherwise, though, always got a mercenary with me.

I'm still in between on this because a merc is amazing if geared right but at the same time i hate how he can draw aggro from creeps that can screw up some runs, like meph. Which is why I don't use one atm.
