Diablo – How do the sets work that call additional followers to your side

diablo-3

One set is a lvl 70 Demon Hunter Set and the other is Ashera's Vestments, that call additional followers to your side. (Demon hunter set actually calls all companions, pets)

How does Ashera's set work?

For example. Does it have any effect in a multiplayer game or only when playing solo?
How often are they at your side?
(like do you have all 3 all the time, or is it variable and 1 or 2 more often than 3)

Best Answer

I do not personally have the set, but based on conversations in this thread, I will say the following regarding Asheara's Vestments:

  • When followers are summoned, they will have the gear and skills you actually equip them with (so the dps and tankyness are dependent upon how you gear them)
  • The followers are up very often if not practically all the time.
  • The followers are often all three out, though they do occasionally come in one at a time.
  • The followers can be summoned even in multiplayer games.

The damage they add is however much they have when equipped. They are your actual followers and their equip. I ran with a witch Doctor who had them out almost permanently.

Brock - yes, I was playing last night in adventure mode doing Rifts on public games. All 3 followers come out; however sometimes it seems they come out one at a time.

If you are playing a private game, and already have a follower in your party, only the other 2 followers will appear. But don't forget to equip your followers with good gear; I would advise that the followers at least do something in the ~100k damage range.

Just to add, I crafted 3 and got a ring of royal grandeur, so I now have the 4 piece set bonus. I timed it and did multiple experiments.

The duration of summoned followers is 30 seconds. The proc rate was significantly higher on AOE packs, almost guaranteed within the first couple of multishot casts, where it was somewhat lower on small packs and elite packs, but they still came out pretty reliably even after a few hits. I'd say you have a good chance of these guys being out 2/3 to 3/4 of the time, so it's a good set to get, especially if you can get your followers some good weapons, and get them the tokens that unlock all abilities
