Assumption is not correct.

On topic - respec is totally fine imho. Free respecs up to certain lvl will only lower learning curve more. Make new char > struggle > do research > adapt > overcome > win.

That's a completely valid point of view.
Imo, it holds true more in final release games. Mods are a bit different in my mind as they necessarily come after a first experience on the vanilla game. Meaning that they appeal to players who look for the same vanilla game, but different. I think providing the means to see HOW it is different very early is important for player retention. And Median does a very good job at that on many points: elite ennemies, early runewords, run/walk, defense, crafting, redesigned ennemies/bosses... Even lvl challenge 0 was excellent for the whole uberquest/challenge paradigm, sadly it had other huge issues.

I'd actually prefer something closer to having fire/light/ice barb. unless thats too powerful. ancients hand and carnage, iceburst and deathgaze, stormblast and spiral. probably too strong.

you already have different elements on the a3 mercs tho, a summoner merc would be quite refreshing

thats my point. clod had fire/cold archers, fire/light/cold castrs, separate aura town guards, and only 1 barb. I'd personally prefer some variety in damage type while keeping melee. think the AI coding would be quite heavy for creating an intelligent summoner barb, but this is my opinion.

Well, there are already attacks like Bloodspeaker's Mark, that summons some summons. It wouldn't be that hard to do imo.

In general I like the idea @Gekko, but tbh, I don't think it will be implemented. Just imagine the lagg if 8 players in the game all use the summon merc. And since lately there was a strong desire from the devs to cut eye candy, I don't think it fits their general game design philosophy.

well, they've already reduced the number of barbs summoned by warband before it got removed so that's easy to address

Bloodspeaker's Mark is definitely an interesting skill for a merc, however I think it might fit the fighter mage better, replacing its fortress

current barb ( let's call him gladiator ) could get fortress, replacing gift of the wild

and new barb ( let's call him shaman ) could have a skillset as such:

Earthquake
Guard Tower
Gift of the Wild
Warband
