You are missing 2 HUGE pieces that make an absolutely MASSIVE difference when using an enchantress while pushing greater rifts. A well rolled Sultan of Blinding Sand and a well rolled Blind Faith. What you are looking for is maximum chance to blind on hit. Then you want to stack attack speed on your enchantress. This allows the enchantress to blind enemies very often and very quickly! This paired with a well rolled Cord of The Sherma makes the enchantress a crowd control god! Fun fact: rift guardians and bosses can be effected by blind. While under the effect of blind they just stand there and do no damage to you!!! I cannot stress how big of an advantage this is! My enchantress has a 79.9% chance to blind on hit and has 1.7 attacks per second in season 28. Also the enchantresses first ability “Temporal Pulse” slows enemies hit by it by a maximum of 80% for 6 seconds. This pairs well with a Bane of the Trapped in your gear. Here’s a few more tips, Tal Rasha’s Relentless Pursuit always rolls with attack speed so it makes a great chest piece for your enchantress. I personally also use a Spaulders of Zakara on the enchantress to save on repair costs when pushing greater rifts and if possible, when leveling. Lastly using a Cluckeye on the Scoundrel causes him to fire a chicken from the bow that stuns and or blinds enemies. That’s what the “% chance to cluck when attacking” does.
On alot of push builds having stun blinds ect hurt you more than they help you. You want to kite mobs along the gr and if she's stunning you can't kite properly and also they become immune so if your charater uses stun for more damage on say a CoE cycle you just lost a ton of damage. Yes on some charaters your right but make sure your set up doesn't require kitting or more damage on stuns.
Overall perfectly added. I didn't want a huge type so I kept to just that. I usually do the helmet Arianal Visage for the poison effect and attack speed roll. With witching hour belt. I saw a run where they did the lacunis bracers as well. The follower was faster than the hero so proc cold on monsters ahead. It was a speed run but it looks so cool at fast speed. Also movement speed wherever possible
Great video and really important content. While you can inspect builds on the leaderboards, you can't see how they geared their followers ! Just to put emphasis on how important the Gloves of Worship are for season 28: after completing the altar, when drinking your potion you get a random shrine effect that would normally last 2 minutes or a 16 seconds power pylon buff. You can drink your potion every 30 seconds. This means that without Gloves of worship, you will only be able to maintain some random shrine effects at any time during a greater rift. If you do have the gloves of worship on your follower though, chances are very high that, if you do not die, you will get all the shrine buffs after a few minutes and maintain them through the rest of the greater rift. As a reminder, the shrine effects are: Enlightened: You gain 25% increased experience from monster kills. Frenzied: Your attack speed increases by 25%. Blessed: You reduce all incoming damage by 25%. Empowered: You have 100% increased resource gain, and 50% reduced cooldown time. Fleeting: You gain 25% increased movement speed and increase your pickup radius by 20 yards. Note how powerful the Empowered effect is. 100% resource gain and an additional 50% cooldown reduction is huge. This translates into more damage if you are using Captain Crimson's set on your character. It also means your generators and critical hits (with the altar power) will generate double times the resources. Finally, getting and maintaining this buff means that you can replace Dawn or Obsidian Ring of the Zodiac from some build with other items of your choice. It is a good idea to have a few items to swap on the follower depending if you are doing T16 or higher greater rifts. I use Broken Crown, Sage Gloves, Sage Belt and Ring of Royal Grandeur for T16. I use Leoric's Crown (with Perfect Ruby), Gloves of Worship, Cord of the Sherma and Hellfire Ring for greater rifts. The followers gives you 20% of its % bonus to experience. If you are using a Focus/Relic/Token other than the one that grants immortality to your follower, equipping a high level Esoteric Alteration and Mutilation Guard gem on your follower will greatly improve their survivability. These are the only gems that work when equipped on a follower. Lastly, if your character is wearing an Enforcer gem, the 90% damage reduction applies to your follower. This, combined with other toughness buffs and life per hit on your follower, can be enough to make your follower tough enough to survive in a greater rift 150. While this can only benefit a few builds in the game, it is good to know about it if you are playing one of these few builds. I use the gain access to all skills focus on my Enchantress to do greater rift with my Marauder build this season.
Seems like it would be optimal to gear up an enchantress for everything except pushing and then one of the other two for pushing so you don’t have to swap gear. If squishy take the Templar, if dps is lower take scoundrel.
If everyone begins with new char at. Lvl 1, how do you acquire all those sets and gear? Normal i have p2's and this season is my first. Currently lvl 22. I don't see how to axquire your list in 6 months or less and complete season. Does anyone ever? Thx, for your great post!!
@@OldFlinders experienced players can get everything needed in a couple of hours. It’s not a months process. The initial gear in most builds can be gotten quickly (obviously playtime factors in) and the incremental increases to get from say tier 90 rifts to 140 + takes longer.
Good information, thanks for posting. I haven't paid much attention to my followers after returning to the game after a couple of years, so this helped me understand some of the mechanics. I did learn to start using the 4 core items, and it's so helpful with the emanate mechanics. One thing to note if you want both the Cain's and Sage's set bonus (using ring of royal grandeur) is you can use Sage's head and belt slot for that bonus and Cain's leg and boot slots for that bonus. I preferred this when farming for DB because it let me keep the gloves of worship for the 10 min shrine buff from my potion, but it does cause you to miss out on the Broken Crown buff for gem farming. I don't need Sage's anymore after unlocking the alter buff, but might be a good option for anyone that may still need more DB.
100% my setup is actually with canes gloves and pants (for attack speed bonus and 50% ex) I use occulus ring with either (kredes flame for fire immunity and mana recharge or leorics signet for ex)
I never actually focused on followers that much i didnt relize you could do that sutff im putting sage set on my templar for a while so i can get some deaths breath!
How people consume so much death breath? Am I losing something? Last time I checked I had +20 thousand. The only material I really need is that legendary dust, which I have 0 and it costs 50 to reforge an item.
@@oldundead well not 100% sure by what you mean when you say "consume" but if you mean spend then theres many ways. I spent 3k trying to get Dawn for my dh build and i spent atleast 20k total from reforging, crafting gems, and enchanting so it just depends on how you play really
Hi guys pls note. Greater rifts are called pylons and normal rifts are shrines. god of worship only works on shrines. In Greater rifts flavor of time is only one that works. I also found out if u want the effect on shrines take flavor of time off. Fot is dominant. And lastly don't use rings and amulets. that don't boost crit chance and damage. They are crucial for end game
I have been tinkering how follower can survive GR150 without cant die token. Even with guardian, blackthrone, esoteric, mutilation guard, and full LoH item , she still cant survive, but if you wear enforcer on your main, then follower cant die no more.
You can use another character with Str/Int as their main stat (can be a Level 1 character) to reroll the main stat from the item into whatever main stat that character uses.
You need to make an alt with whatever stats you want. So if you’re gearing a Templar then make a crusader, run in on normal to get Kenai’s cube and then use the Crusader to cube or gamble blood shards. I’m doing the same on my wizard to gear my enchantress 👍🏻
You don't need to level up another char. Just make a sader or barb, and even at level 1 you can reforge the gear to get strength stats to items. Alternatively, you can change any property to strength at the mystic, also at level 1
You might be thinking of the potion (I think it's father) buff that gives you a random shrine effect. That paired with the gloves of worship is what allows you to use the potion on cooldown to get yourself all the shrine buffs throughout a run and have them up constantly.
Men…. I don’t know how but I deleted my follower Templar Enchanting Favor (cannot die) 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ I’m soooo mad…. And I had two of them and are gone.
Hey dude, u can craft some yellow Templar relics at the blacksmith and then upgrade them at the cube (if U have the mats …), on the third page. You basically have 1/3 chance to get the lost item for each upgrade since there are three different Templar relics. Hope this helps, good Luck !! ;)
Good Guide for Beginners. If u go deeper in the Materia of Followers, just read some things and items in d3. my sorc is nearly immortal, without the immortal sorcitem. in my opinion, for beginners very good. for those who wants to get the max support by follower possible, nearly everything is wrong. sry dude.
Good and informative video but here is an alternative route to gearing Follower: th-cam.com/video/PPcvPVtGq2E/w-d-xo.html Good stuff though, Warlug. Thanks!
This is all wrong. You gear your follower for either pushing OR normal... not both. If you're going to try to do both... do normal only as that will give you a larger total gain than leorics crown ever will. So with that in mind... how are you making an "ultimate guide" without sages and cains? Tal Rasha? Really? There aren't many great options for chest I'll give you that... but the amount of effort required to make Tal Rashas what you need... which is only going to do anything at all at the very highest push... well that amount of effort makes Tal Rashas so much less efficient that it would literally be better to not have a chest on at all. Look at Borns (there may or may not be an E in that). It's cheap... easy... and way better than spending the effort to get and make Tal Rashas good. Use that until you just so happen to get a goldskin.
He said Tal Rasha is good for attack speed and life on the Templar, not that it's a core item. Also, he specifically said that he changes the head slot based on what he's running. He had Cain's set on the Enchantress and explained the benefit there along with the option for Sage's set. Sage's can be nice to have, but only if you actually need Death's Breath. You can get the same effect from the alter as well, and I've stopped using that set because I have more DB then I can use at this point because I'm limited by other materials that I need to farm. If you're going to nitpick, at least watch the whole video to make sure that you're accurate...
But that's the entire point. You shouldn't have to watch an entire video just because they wait until the end of the video to correct the misinformation at the beginning of the video... all in the name of reaching that 10 minute mark. Also, we only have the alter this one season. A "complete guide" needs to be applicable to all seasons and base game too. Tal Rasha is absolutely a waste of time in every single way. Only use it if you just so happen to get one... and then only use it at the max level GR push. Otherwise... use Borns.
@@warlug I never claimed to have a perfect follower. I never actually claimed to have any idea what I am doing. I watched this because YOU were so "bold" to claim to have the "ultimate" guide. I was hoping that you knew more than I did. More specifically, I have pretty much always stuck to the templar because I mained Crusader and Barb. This season I got DH and Monk competitive so I was looking for what might be different running the scoundrel.

If you are a wizard then how do you gear up a Templar?
Can the scoundrel use a offhand slot for friends with benefit challenge?
I'm playing as a demon hunter, should I replace my templar for the scoundrel?
I can equip my followers but I can't figure out how to get to the skills for the follower. I'm on Xbox.
how do i farm gear for my followers??
what if we gave them an in-geom?
So I see that you are playing your DH the main stat is Dex, how often do you see other main stat drops that you can give to your follows for int/STR.
You can use another character with Str/Int as their main stat (can be a Level 1 character) to reroll the main stat from the item into whatever main stat that character uses.
Scoundrel has a item that unlocks all of his abilities ❤
How do i get my templar follower gear?
im sorc and all the drops are intelegence.
Use a STR based character
Get good gear on your sorc main, create a strength based alt (barb or templar), re-roll the int stat to str at lvl 1 at the mystic.
How do I get intelligence items for my enchantress? 90% of the items that drop for my demon hunter are dex based
Use int character
@@warlug so I need to create a new character and grind just to have good items on my followers ? Fuck this game is grindy
You use an int character to re-roll dex to int.
@@invadergrimz3658 that makes more sense, thank you
I use all 3 for my zdps monk. ^^
If i have a wizard, how do i reroll my follower’s gear to give strength? I feel like enchanting the gear only gives int unless i’m wrong
You need to make an alt with whatever stats you want. So if you’re gearing a Templar then make a crusader, run in on normal to get Kenai’s cube and then use the Crusader to cube or gamble blood shards. I’m doing the same on my wizard to gear my enchantress 👍🏻

You don't need to level up another char. Just make a sader or barb, and even at level 1 you can reforge the gear to get strength stats to items. Alternatively, you can change any property to strength at the mystic, also at level 1
Doesn’t the season bonus give us 10 minute shrine bonus?
nope
