Hi,
Although I like your idea, when in battle I hate to pound the keyboard like an organist playing a Bach canon :) And with the sloppy interface of D2, I have a hard enough time getting my character to target a specific monster, so adding that ability for a merc would do little for me.
I'd be more than happy with just a "save yourself" key that lets the merc get out of harm's way, but with the path finding algorithm in D2, he'd probably do that by trying to run through the biggest baddest bunch of monsters around ;)
And I *don't* want to have to control 2 characters. Maybe it's my aging reflexes, but I don't think I could handle that in most combats.
