Mongrel = Reverse enchant?

Im wondering if they will be enchantable by other chars spells not just the WD.

Interesting question.
I sure encourges teamplay, which Blizzard has many time that they are after, but I think it could get confusing when fighting in a group.
I mean, you get 4 players spamming spells to the same direction where your Mongrel is standing- How can he be fixed with 1 elemental for more the 1 sec?

I had thought about people keep re enchanting them or even the WD getting upset because he wants to have control of their damage.Avoidance of accidently enchanting could be done by enchanting Via the portrait although that seems too clinical(and maybe even awkward depending on how long it lasts).

Maybe Mongrel can have endless echants?
A bit over-powered, but if the damage bonus will be minor, they can have all bonuses at the same time, dishing out all types of low damage.

I mean, is that a posion+fire Mongrel at the upper right corner???

yeah I dont see why not since players in D2 can benefit from multiple auros and buffs.

The only downside for this idea is that it take the stratigic aspect of enchanting your Mongrel (choosing which element according to who you're fighting) and just tanking him.

However, this opens up an interesting gameplay for the WD, where he Mongrel is his main source of damage.
I mean, having a few of these guys, boosts by almost every elemental there is and Sacrificing them in a blast that will hopefully do damage according to the Mongrel's elemental bonuses too. That would be AWESOME
