Changes

Rogue mercenaries are obtained from [[Kashya ]] in the [[Rogue Encampment]]. (She gives one as a reward for completing the [[Blood Raven ]] quest, and will hire them after that point, or to any character over level 8.) Rogue mercs are ranged attackers who use bows to attack from a distance. They are fairly fragile and must be kept from harm, but can dispense solid artillery support from behind the front lines. Their AI largely keeps them from harm, but they can be come confused as to how far they should stand from the action, and will sometimes wander back and forth uselessly.

The Hirelings of Act II are available from [[Greiz ]] in [[Lut Gholein]]. They are melee attackers and use spears/javelins or polearms to great effect. These mercs are the most popular hires in the game, since they come with various auras that can greatly benefit their employer.

The Hirelings of Act III are available from [[Asheara ]] in the [[KurastDocks]]. These are the only magical mercs, and each one specializes in Lightning, Cold, or Fire. Their AI is similar to that of the Rogue mercs and they tend to stay behind the lines and attack from a distance, even though they carry shields and can achieve fairly high defense and resistances.

* '''Skills:''' Charged Bolt/Lightning or Glacial Spike/Ice Blast/Frozen Armor or Inferno/ Fireball* '''Allowed Equipment:''' Armor, Helms, Shields and Swords* '''Notes:''' Iron Wolves very rarely swing hit anything with their sword weapon, so find them are best equipped with a good "sword that has spell-caster" swordbonuses.

The Hirelings of Act V are available from [[Qual-Kehk ]] in [[Harrogath ]] once you have completed the Rescue the Barbarians quest. Unlike Kashya in Act One, he does not reward you with a free barbarian merc.
