Being a melee attacker also allows them to lure enemies away from you.

They are the first melee-based hireling you encounter, using spears to attack enemies and applying buffs to you and themselves. Desert Mercenaries are available for hire through Greiz in Lut Gholein-you can find him north of the town's Waypoint, near the entrance to Sewers Level 1. The second type of hirelings you can hire is the Desert Mercenary. They can also shoot Fire Arrows or Cold Arrows. They can't equip crossbows or Amazon-specific bows.

You'll notice this buff is active when an enemy is highlighted with a white light on top of their head. They can also cast Inner Sight-an Amazon debuff skill that lowers the defense of all enemies within range. Fire arrows travel twice the distance of Ice Arrows.You can pick and choose which type of Rogue Scouts you'd like to hire from the mercenary window. Rogue Scouts can imbue their arrows with either fire or cold damage. They are arguably the weakest hirelings out of the four-they primarily stand in the back and function as artillery support, shooting arrows and debuffing enemies.

You'll obtain a Rogue Scout for no cost from Kashya as a reward for that quest as well. To unlock them, you must complete the Sisters' Burial Grounds quest given by Kashya in Rogue Encampment. They highly resemble the Amazon hero-class in appearance. Rogue Scouts are the first hirelings that will be available to you in Diablo II: Resurrected. There are four types of Mercenaries you can hire in the game Rogue Scouts ( Act I), Desert Mercenaries (Act II), Iron Wolves (Act III), and Barbarians (Act IV).
