Best follower 1.04 for DH

[Juno]

Hi, with the new buffs for the followers, Ive changed to templar. He resists very well and works fine like a tank, while kill mobs. He sometimes dies, but he does his work much better than 1.03.

Im using rings, amulet,sword with streng, life and LOH and he lives much more time than before, about 3500 dps and 35k HP.

żDoes it work the critic damage and critical chance in the followers too? Would it really be worth it?

Hi,

i used the templar for a long time too. After 1.04 i switched to the scoundrel and after long thpughts i bought a Windforce for me testingwise and for him usewise. AFter testing i come to the following conclusion.

Scoundrel with Windforce > Templar > Enchantress and its not even close.

Cuase he seems to auto multishot attack his Proc coefficient seems aboout 100%. so i get the full 49,4 % Knockbackchance on his Multishot.
That means in reality if u place urself right he will nearly perma knockback champacks. It feels totally like Rain of vengeance without the damage and 50% knockbackchance instead of 100 .. but its permanent.

I have alot more freedom to not-kite or make mistakes cause of him. my killspeed is alot faster with champs etc.

i think the stats on windfore dont matter at all except maybe u get a high vit roll for his surviability but with his rest of RIngs amus which i slotted mainly for max hp, he nearly never dies.

all u have too look for is a WF with >45% knockbackchance... or as close to 50% as possible. i payed 3 mio for my 49,% nad YES it was worth it..

Never ever gonna change my Follower now.

if someone doesnt believes me or some guys maybe want to see him in action cause there arent too many Videos of scoundrel with windforce in the interwebs.. Add Telefondude#2652

^^ that sounds amazing but I'd be sorely tempted to use the WF myself if I ever got one, only seen a total of 1 on the EU HC AH and it was a mighty 20m which for HC is a kings ransom, I wonder what a multi shot hellrack could be like as they're cheaper..

DOnt get a WF for urself.... not worth it immo except u play with entangling shot... which has a procc coefficent of 0,8 if u take shock collar rune it bumbs uit up to 1,6 so u get nearly 75 percent chance to knockback with that skill if u have a 50% chance wf BUT i myself use evasive shot with covering fire or how its called in english ^^... this only gives 0,25 per target so i only get 25% out of a 50% WF... multishot is even worse with 0,17...

it can be good if u get a really really high damage wf with socket and 50% but if not i would prefer giving ur scoundrel a cheap 3-5 mil bow with only high chance and he will do a betetr job perma knockbacking mobs then u will ever do... ofcourse u both could stack it and with entengling shot shock collar etc..i repeat myself.. ^^ but immo not worth the damage loss..

Yes, it works very well, got one with 190 life, 45%knockback, 1200 dps very cheap and tried it. I really like. Thanks.

Enchantress with Maximus is awesome! I got a 300+ Int Maximus for her and it rocks. It brought her damage to something useful, but the big thing is that before literally every fight, she summons a demon and there's a fire chain linking her to the demon. The demon hits fairly hard as well. Plus the visuals are just so cool.
