Who is your follower?
So just looking to see what others are using for their followers? I use the Templar for my DH and have found the Enchantress and Scoundrel to be useless so far, the scoundrel always manages to help get me killed within a few minutes and the Enchantress just doesn't feel like she does much, but the Templar is always right there soaking up the front lines as my own personal meat sheild while keeping me healed as needed. Anyone else found their favorite thus far?
templar as well here, I can use him as my Tank, along with my Gargantuan pet and they're my front lines keeping enemies busy while i AoE or use powerful targeted spells from medium distance.
Something weird with the templar though... I gave him a weapon that says it does 80 damage and gave him another item that gave him +70 strength but in his stats it says his DPS is only 42. Not sure i understand that.
I haven't used the scoundrel at all, i did try the enchantress out. It looked like she had some great spells but never seemd to use them in battle.
Strange, will have to see what my Templar has for damage now... and I noticed the same thing with the Enchantress. Her spells were why I tried her out and when she just seemed to throw a ball and run away more often than not pissing off the mob and dragging them closer to me I gave her the boot.
I'm using my templar for tank (go charge) and heals. I haven't really fooled with the other 2. The templar works, so I don't seen a need to rock the boat. His commentary though... could do without that sometimes ;) (Oh... and playing Witch Doctor btw).

I am rolling with the Scoundrel. I did try the Enchantress for a bit, but her skills unlock much later than the other two, so I switched back.
I'm a Monk, so I didn't want to use the Templar as I'm already close quarters, plus I have my own heal. I haven't paid too much attention on how well the followers do as I'm only on normal. Things are pretty much dying real fast, so I don't know if my Scoundrel is being effective or not.
Templar is my tank and healer. I just jump around on the outskirts with my DH owning from afar.
Templar all the way. He can have great stats with his sword and board in terms of high hit points and damage boosting. His damage ends up being a percentage of the DPS of the weapon you give him unfortunately. There are countless threads in the battle.net forums in the follower section about it. All I have to say is his "charge" ability that is virtually guaranteed to stun the target has saved my bacon countless times. The enchantress seems to have some merit based on some of the skills you can pick, but the scoundrel is virtually worthless with his low damage and crappy skills only focused around upping his damage.
Templar 76k hp 1k+ damage he's a good little sacrificial meat shield.
He really truly is... and another thing I noticed is how helpful he is when he is picking up health globes for you as a Demon Hunter and your health and hatred keep refilling faster than you can lose them while you are on the outskirts picking off the weaklings from a distance. Hope he keeps up being useful for Nightmare now.
