The real standout ability is Emanate , which allows your follower to wear specific items and have the powers of those items transfer to your character.

However, there are other perks and items that provide a bit more utility beyond extra stats.Įmanate gear benefits both follower and player This gives your followers significantly more stats than the current system, and likely will help them with their fragility - anyone who’s ever done a high-level Greater Rift and watched Kormac die over and over again will know that the followers can tend to be somewhat disposable. This rework of the follower system in patch 2.7.0 includes the ability to kit out your followers with gear in every slot that you can currently equip gear on your actual character - fourteen item slots in all, including Follower Relic Item, Helm, Shoulders, Chest, Gloves, Bracers, Belt, 2 Rings, Neck, Pants, Boots, main-hand weapon, and off-hand.

While Diablo 3‘s Season 23 does not have a theme, it does have updates to the follower system that will apply to both Seasonal and non-Seasonal play.
