I’d say remove “cannot die” and add a more “interesting” 3rd token… Followers shouldn’t have to resort to that token exclusively to stay alive. Yeah, Bman, but there should be other options than “cannot die”, which is lame if you want them to actually use their skills more.

Instead, let the set grant the player and their followers 34% more damage and 17% damage reduction for each one standing–for a max of 102% damage (multiplier) and 51% damage reduction. Perm all 3 followers for Asheara’s Vestiments (with 4 pieces), but BLOCK Unity from being equipped on them when you are using the set. For followers, letting them use ONE legendary gem (jewelry/helm slots) could give them some specialization as well–so long as they proc correctly (had a problem with that in the past (e.g. For characters, some of the lesser-used legendary gems could be moved to this slot (offhand sockets). Let Ramaladni’s Gifts be used on off-hands (for characters) and tokens (for followers).Ī. This would grant them both greater durability and damage, and the 10x modifier for Calde stats might just keep them in the game better on the higher difficulties. Let’s say you have an amulet with +1000 INT (ancient/primal) that you used a rank 80 gem to give it +400 INT more… The 1000 INT would become 2,500 INT on the follower, but that Caldesanned 400 INT would become 4,000 INT.

Let any ancient items they equip grant the usual 2.5 times the mainstats (VIT, STR, DEX, and INT), BUT for any stats given through the Caldesann’s Despair Recipe on their items, let that bonus be 10X.

Unless there is a plan in the works already to beef up followers so they don’t get one-shot on the highest Torments…
