Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred will continue a Diablo tradition of letting you recruit a team of mercenaries to help you slash through hell. A shieldbearer, scoundrel, berserker, and a literal demon are teased in the latest trailer that debuted during the Gamescom Opening Night Live stream.
Details on the mercenaries are still fairly sparse, but each of them neatly fits into an archetype that synergizes with Diablo 4's existing classes. The shieldbearer, for example, holds up a magical barrier over a necromancer as they're surrounded by monsters. Some of the mercenary's skills mirror ones players have been using in the game already, like the berserker lady's ability to yank monsters toward her with ropes that look very similar to the barbarians' steel grasp.
