Hi again
This is also what i have readed in some FAQ when you hire a mercernarie act 2 on a low level en level him al the way his aura becomes stronger then a high level mercanarie hired.
Example: a act 2 normal low level merc who has levelt up with you wil have a stronger aura then a hell act 2 aura :cheesy:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
No.
An act 2 merc hired at lvl 1 and then levelled up to lvl 40
compared to an act 2 merc hired at lvl 40 shows that they are exactly the same - *if* they are hired from the same difficulty, ie normal/nightmare/hell.
Mercs hired in Hell are weaker than other mercs at the same lvl hired from norm or nightmare.
Mercs hired in Nightmare are weaker than mercs of the same lvl hired from norm.
--------
Of course with the Act 2 Mercs you get a different aura if you hire them in nightmare, than you do if you hire them in normal or hell.
But then, why would you want to wait till Hell to hire a merc anyway???
--------
If you want a might merc you can only get them in Nightmare, so rather than levelling up your normal mercs, you should upgrade them, eg ditch the rogue for the act 2 when you enter act 2, and then when you get to act 3 hire a lvl 19 cold merc (who ownzors the jungles - low lvl act 2 mercs are useless in act 3, whereas the act 3 cold merc kicks bootay and takes names in act 3).
Then when you get to act 5, rescue the barbs and get a new merc. I prefer the act 3, but levelling him up is painful (but not as painful as the act 2, or even worse the act 1). Then in nightmare you can switch to a nightmare rogue and then finally your might merc.
That gives you a decent minion at each step in the way, without having to spend ages and ages and ages babysitting them!
