My dog... always lays next to me when I'm blasting 🤣 But I probably will take your advice 👍😉 Going barb in s23 so changing between enchantress and scoundrel.
Bigtime! I hope this is so successfull and liked that blizz adds that the followers can wear all gems s24 and we get the emulation from them. That would be really cool. Then we can mix and match as we like. Also add some more gear to the emulation list. This looks awsome as it is already. So happy with this change.
Since I mainly play solo, looking forward to seeing how this makes my season different. Thanks for the in-depth guide, looking forward to your challenge rift guide before the next season! Cheers!
We really need that armory for the followers. For solo players who play a lot it will be less of a headache to actually make 2 or more characters for t16/GR farm/push :/
I have one problem with the new system for the followers.I play D3 on the Switch Lite. When I'm rolling gear, there is no way to specify whether I'm rolling gear for the main character or the follower. So If 'm playing wizard my gear will roll with intelligence but if my follower is the scoundrel I'll need gear with dexterity. My only choice would be to reroll all his gear for dexterity or roll gear using a different, separate character that shares the same main stat as my scoundrel and transfer the gear from the seperate character to my primary character's scoundrel via the stash which seems rather cumbersome !
I went with an Ahavarion, Spear of Lycander instead of the Pig Sticker for my enchantress. It can still roll Atk Speed, plus you might get a random shrine effect while doing t16 or bounties. The new system makes solo farming more enjoyable.
As i look back on this.. I feel like Focused Mind with Enchantress doesn't even work. There is no aura around her. Even if you select that skill and go near her, your attack speed does not increase. 🤔
Is there any way to roll mainstat consistently on a follower that uses a different mainstat than my character does? for example using the templar while playing the firebird wizard in hardcore next season sounds like a good idea?
Or you could make it really expensive and use the arcanist to reroll the primary stat per say like you're playing thorn crusader but you want scoundrel for extra dps. Then you'd reroll strength on all of your drops to dexterity. Using up all of your precious dragon breath
One question I still have is how to gear followers and which ones to use as you're leveling. We'll not really have the luxury of farming gear as we're leveling so which follower would be best to use in the initial climb to 70. Thanks!
NOTE: Maxroll incorrectly states- (Follower) "General Rules -You can change Follower Skills anytime (asides while being in a Greater Rift) but cannot unlearn them. -If you picked a skill you don't want, your only option is to make a new character." This is a confusing statement regarding skill choices. This is incorrect! You can change these skills by simply having and using a different 'relic'.. i.e. Templar Relics - Rare or Legendary: Hillenbrand's Training Sword, Enchanting Favor, Relic of Akarat. I was even able to change these skills w/o changing the Relic. An update to Maxroll is suggested
Great vid as usual Raxx. Looking forward to the upcoming season. Added D3 to my Switch. Wish I didn’t have to wait for D2R for cross platform saves. Peace
Very helpful video Raxx! When you said the enchantress doesn't work with cooldown did you mean that the diminishing returns on gear is so significant or do you really mean any cooldown on gear does literally NOTHING with the follower? Also has it always been this way because I've stacked cooldown for previous seasons? One more quick question does 2 piece crimsons do anything?
hello thank you so much for the video! I have a question, if I am playing a barb how to do I get items for the enchantress that have intelligence as their main stat?
What we really need is for items to just give "main stat" and change what stat it is on the fly based on who they're equipped to. That would solve the mess of trying to gear up followers that don't match the character's mainstat. And it would save a lot of wasted stash space.
Ie., in inventory or stash or enchant screen, a primal nemesis would have "mainstat 650". When you equip it to your Scoundrel it becomes Dex 650. When you equip it to an Enchantress it becomes Int 650. So no need to try to maintain a perfectly rolled one for each.
Raxx, my main questions with followers are 1) does their gear swap with our armory sets, and 2) if I join a group, will I have to pull my nems off my follower or will they be in my stash?
Honest question because I don't know. Part of the Seasonal Journey 1-4 is to fully equip a follower. Has the amount of items changed from the previous seasons? The past seasons we needed the relic, X2 rings, ammy + weapon. This season do we need to fully equip it with the new changes?
Just hit rather easy HC 130 with GOD DH rolling Enchantress, seems to add most DPS, most reliable for procing trapped too when you don't want to get too close yourself.
Raxx, Rhykker suggested for GR scoundrel: buriza-Do Kyanon w/ lightning dam stone gauntlets (I think cain hands and ice climbers make more sense than these) wydward blind faith cord of the sherma Would scoundrel's blind, freeze, and stun be more efficient use of him for pushing? Or do you prefer to be in control of the monsters diminishing returns on CC (seeing as how you don't take the scoundrels 1st ability)? Good vid tho, I appreciate it!
Do all emanate items work on followers? The item that gives "unbreakable" doesn't seem to work, I have the item that prevents follower from dying. Does the follower have to be within a certain range to work?
@Raxx so stash space was an issue with only our characters to worry about. Now we have to account for a couple of follower sets. Has Blizzard talked about increasing stash space?
Any preference as to the weapon employed on a scoundrel? i've tried the windforce for the extra knockback but i'm not sure if that's actually contributing to the amount of times a monster can be cc'd
I rly like the info mate. i rly like your gameplay :). but when u look directly into camera.. it feels kind of creepy... maybe its jsut me.. what do you think guys ? :D
@@gotdangedcommiesitellyahwa6298 the reason i'm asking is because rend doesn't benefit from stuff like iceblink increased crit (as far as I could find). It tends to work only off off sheet crit. I imagine the cloud is an auto-crit debuff on the monsters, not a buff to your chance.
@@damijankhebal8932 Hmm, well the wording for it is "all attacks... inside the cloud will be critical hits". Which is why I assumed a manual cast would work, but rend has some unusual mechanics.
They won't use their abilities more but they will apply more thunderfury procs, blind faith & cord of the sherma blind on hit procs etc. But only if you don't use cc yourself. Otherwise it can be detrimental.
does anyone know i never tried but. when you save your gear in the wardrobe does it also save follower gear. like when i switch between my push and farming builds with it. will it also switch the sets of gear my followers had when i saved those sets?
I prefer Oculus Ring instead of Avarice band on my follower. It constantly puts the yellow field on the ground that increases your dmg by ~80% when standing in it. Also another follower weapon option is Azurewraith. Its attack speed is slightly slower than Pig Sticker (1.40 app vs PS's 1.50 aps), but its Legendary power is more useful - it radiates ~500% weapon dmg to all nearby enemies and sometimes tosses Undead and Demons into the air for some useful cc.
dont understand why you dont use freeze of deflection and eun jang do on the templar, rift guardians are almost permanently frozen that way :) kredes flame on DH follower also works well
Scoundrel: You don't like picking either of the first skills; What about builds that benefit from slow/stun to proc damage multipliers? With this in mind the Templar: Thunderfury w/ Wyrdward Ring would help proc as well. So my question is - Does Follower Slow/Stun proc OUR damage multipliers? ~ Thanks! Later Days!
Hi Raxx. I see sometimes when some of the good players are pushing high GRs that one (or more) of the followers skills are not set. What's up with that?
@Carl Glennerster 😇 I was kind to you but you were condescending and insulting to me in return. I pity you, it's so sad you don't have any self awareness to realize how evil and vile you are. How can you possibly defend your behavior? You cannot dim my shine. Adventurers will slay your demonic form 👿 then take your Soulstone 💎 to the depths of hell. Heroes will shatter your Soulstone upon the Hellforge so you can no longer hurt strangers on the internet. Have a nice life. ☺
Which Follower will you choose next Season?
All of them, probably.
Templar, always going with templar.
Depends... will follower gear be part of the armory? Looks like it's not stored there at the moment (on live).
as a main sader i think ill go enchantress
My dog... always lays next to me when I'm blasting 🤣
But I probably will take your advice 👍😉
Going barb in s23 so changing between enchantress and scoundrel.
Some of these changes were insanely long overdue. I really like these changes man.
Bigtime! I hope this is so successfull and liked that blizz adds that the followers can wear all gems s24 and we get the emulation from them. That would be really cool. Then we can mix and match as we like. Also add some more gear to the emulation list. This looks awsome as it is already. So happy with this change.

We really need that armory for the followers. For solo players who play a lot it will be less of a headache to actually make 2 or more characters for t16/GR farm/push :/
To be honest T16 is a joke so you don't need to switch gear at all on your follower. It also give no xp.
I am a returning solo player, this video was super helpful. Thanks for making it!
I recommend Cord of the Sherma on the follower for pushing. I tested it on the PTR and it works great.
Definitely a handy option.
Blind Faith helmet is a good option as well.
I quit diablo about 8 months ago but still enjoy watching all of your content. Thanks for all the time you put into the videos.
The game is calling to you, come backkk
Awesome as always, Professor Rax. Very easy to understand and very helpful, gotta say I do love your clear voice, lol.
Your guides are always on point and precise; like a surgeon. Thx for doing them. :)
Very well spoken and presented, thank you.
Once again great video, jumping back into D3 this season .
Don’t play D3 anymore, but I always watch your vids. Great stuff as usual!
Wow. You're the second guy today that I'm surprised doesn't have more subscribers.
Thanks for the videos.
Hi Rax. Returning player here. Great tips! Thank you sir! 👍🏻
Late start to the season. RAXX a long time ago you forever changed who I am as a Diablo player and I'll always be thankful for that.

Ive been waiting for this. I appreciate you doing this. Thanks!
ty Rax! you're doing a lot for D3 community
Is there any way to roll mainstat consistently on a follower that uses a different mainstat than my character does? for example using the templar while playing the firebird wizard in hardcore next season sounds like a good idea?
Not really, if anything you can just rebirth/make a new character for rerolling main stat.
Or you could make it really expensive and use the arcanist to reroll the primary stat per say like you're playing thorn crusader but you want scoundrel for extra dps. Then you'd reroll strength on all of your drops to dexterity. Using up all of your precious dragon breath
thank you for making the video this was very indepth and helpful
Great vid. Flavor of Time is such an OP option on follower, no longer 9000 years searching for a good one
i was waiting for this video! Ty raxx!
If we're not using Unity, for whatever reason, what ring would replace it on the follower?
Why Wall of Man on Templar with cannot die relic?
I was waiting for this. Good job raxx
Great video as always!! Can't wait man.
Useful, thanks!
One question I still have is how to gear followers and which ones to use as you're leveling. We'll not really have the luxury of farming gear as we're leveling so which follower would be best to use in the initial climb to 70. Thanks!

Hey Raxx thanks for the vids :-)
My only changes are using blind faith helmet, cord of sherma and sultan of binding sands
Great job as usual, thanks man.
You don't ask for "thumbs up", so I gave you a thumbs up!
Does the gem of ease in follower weapon give us xp
Not one single downvote, brilliant!
Solo pushing would be almost equaly effective as group pushing if there was a way to have all 3 followers, wouldn't it?
Great vid as usual Raxx. Looking forward to the upcoming season. Added D3 to my Switch. Wish I didn’t have to wait for D2R for cross platform saves.
Peace
Amazing content as always
Very helpful video Raxx! When you said the enchantress doesn't work with cooldown did you mean that the diminishing returns on gear is so significant or do you really mean any cooldown on gear does literally NOTHING with the follower?

hello thank you so much for the video! I have a question, if I am playing a barb how to do I get items for the enchantress that have intelligence as their main stat?
Run a second character with Intelligence as their main stat so you can give the drops to your follower for your main character.
I asked and I received....thank you kindly good sir
I really think that they missed an opportunity when they chose to not have the 💍 Ring of Royal Grandeur emanate!
Hey Raxxanterax what chest is your follower using didn't show up in the video for me thanks! The Templar.
What we really need is for items to just give "main stat" and change what stat it is on the fly based on who they're equipped to. That would solve the mess of trying to gear up followers that don't match the character's mainstat. And it would save a lot of wasted stash space.

Once the new patch kicks in, will our inventory in the regular season be updated to emenate or do we have to farm all new items?
There's nothing special about the items. They're just regular items.
Raxx, my main questions with followers are 1) does their gear swap with our armory sets, and 2) if I join a group, will I have to pull my nems off my follower or will they be in my stash?
Honest question because I don't know.
Part of the Seasonal Journey 1-4 is to fully equip a follower. Has the amount of items changed from the previous seasons?
The past seasons we needed the relic, X2 rings, ammy + weapon.
This season do we need to fully equip it with the new changes?
Fully equip means fully equip 🙄
Which amulet will ww/rend barbs wear if FoT goes to the follower? Hellfire?
GR Pushing Follower with no Resis and any kind of survivability wouldnt it send more damge to you, considering you play a unity Ring combo ?
Thank you, Raxx!
I've been using enchantress exclusively with my wizard cuz it's been so easy to get int. on all the gear.
Just hit rather easy HC 130 with GOD DH rolling Enchantress, seems to add most DPS, most reliable for procing trapped too when you don't want to get too close yourself.
Raxx,
Rhykker suggested for GR scoundrel:
buriza-Do Kyanon w/ lightning dam
stone gauntlets (I think cain hands and ice climbers make more sense than these)
wydward
blind faith
cord of the sherma
Would scoundrel's blind, freeze, and stun be more efficient use of him for pushing? Or do you prefer to be in control of the monsters diminishing returns on CC (seeing as how you don't take the scoundrels 1st ability)? Good vid tho, I appreciate it!
Thank you, Raxx!!!
Do all emanate items work on followers? The item that gives "unbreakable" doesn't seem to work, I have the item that prevents follower from dying. Does the follower have to be within a certain range to work?
if, for example, you roll a demon hunter and you want a templar follower. How will you get strength rolls on his gear?
Reforge the main stat at the mystic or roll a barb or crusader to run "upgrade rare" recipes in your cube.
@@KupsoRyu ive finished the season in about 3 days, 2 months ago but thanks... :p
@@Shredder91 lol yeah, that "finishing" the season is pretty quick work.
@Raxx so stash space was an issue with only our characters to worry about. Now we have to account for a couple of follower sets. Has Blizzard talked about increasing stash space?
Tch, probably not. Looks like we'll need more stash-only inventory characters. Ugh.
I'll go back to D3 after 5 months xD
So does this mean Kanai's cube is replaced by this. Or can you still have the 3 abilities stacked with the eminate effect???
cube stays, it's a mega boost for soloing
@@djoulestar Oh hell yeah, dude season 23 sounds like its gonna be the best season thus far, Can't wait!!!
using gems with the followers work? for example avarice band + boon of the hoarder?
@rax what about the crafting set that gives you 20% cooldown and 20% resource reduction. Then gives you damage and damage reduction based off them?
do you ever change that blue hoodie?
Any preference as to the weapon employed on a scoundrel?
i've tried the windforce for the extra knockback but i'm not sure if that's actually contributing to the amount of times a monster can be cc'd
If I'm using the scoundrel as a follower and I am a barbarian in all the items are strength how do I make them with dexterity
Only way is to use a different character with dex mainstat to reroll at enchantress.
I rly like the info mate. i rly like your gameplay :). but when u look directly into camera.. it feels kind of creepy... maybe its jsut me.. what do you think guys ? :D
If it hasn't been already, I hope they take care of the glitch that strips follower gear going back and forth from multi- to solo-player.
Do you know whether or not nights veil works with the barb's rend? If it doesn't, we would always use the enchantress there of course
Pretty sure it works if you manually cast it.
@@gotdangedcommiesitellyahwa6298 the reason i'm asking is because rend doesn't benefit from stuff like iceblink increased crit (as far as I could find). It tends to work only off off sheet crit. I imagine the cloud is an auto-crit debuff on the monsters, not a buff to your chance.
@@damijankhebal8932 Hmm, well the wording for it is "all attacks... inside the cloud will be critical hits". Which is why I assumed a manual cast would work, but rend has some unusual mechanics.
I feel like im missing something obvious, but if follower damage is negligible, why do we care about attack speed on their gear?
So they can use their abilities more often, or proc effects off their weapon when striking more often.
They won't use their abilities more but they will apply more thunderfury procs, blind faith & cord of the sherma blind on hit procs etc.
But only if you don't use cc yourself. Otherwise it can be detrimental.
Does the player benefit also the 2 pieces bonus from Sage and Cain's sets ?
another question: i like doing full goldfind sets for t16 vault. do we get the full 100% goldfind if the merc wears it?
Cant wait to see ur content diablo 4...
Who is best follower for god DH? Items?
does anyone know i never tried but. when you save your gear in the wardrobe does it also save follower gear. like when i switch between my push and farming builds with it. will it also switch the sets of gear my followers had when i saved those sets?
Will main stat augments work for followers?
Just to note that Cain's emanates the increased rift stone drops, NOT the added exp.
Still gives 20% of the exp as he said a few times.
Hey! Thanks for the guide! Dont we need attack speed on GR Push Scoundrel ?
Yes
I prefer Oculus Ring instead of Avarice band on my follower. It constantly puts the yellow field on the ground that increases your dmg by ~80% when standing in it.

can u put gem of ease on follower ? do you gain extra exp ?
How "Eminates" set bonus work with Legacy of Dreams gem?
What do you think about Born set on follower for even more EXP.
dont understand why you dont use freeze of deflection and eun jang do on the templar, rift guardians are almost permanently frozen that way :) kredes flame on DH follower also works well
HC s23 is going to be interesting.
Do emanate gear drops start at level 1?
Scoundrel: You don't like picking either of the first skills; What about builds that benefit from slow/stun to proc damage multipliers? With this in mind the Templar: Thunderfury w/ Wyrdward Ring would help proc as well. So my question is - Does Follower Slow/Stun proc OUR damage multipliers? ~ Thanks! Later Days!
Awesomesauce. TY :)
@raxxanterax would the Azuwrath not be a good option for the enchantress for the freeze
??
The attack speed from Pig Sticker is better. Also, Pig Sticker roles with an additional primary stat.
TY
Hi Raxx. I see sometimes when some of the good players are pushing high GRs that one (or more) of the followers skills are not set. What's up with that?
It's the CC skills, so they don't affect what your trying to do in regards to grouping mobs up.
Does a gem of ease lvl 120 in follower weapon would help on Paragon Farm ?
Yo this is gonna help out so much thanks A LOT. I'm ShadowZ btw :)
Is the follower's equipment also saved in the Armory? Or do we have to equip it manually everytime we change from T16 to GR sets etc?
Manually
but this will only be for solo playing or am im wrong?
You also forgot to mention that Cain's set give's you a chance to get more keys from the Rift Guardian
He says that in the video.
@@thedon9670 Yeah he says it later after I had already left this comment sorry
