		+	There are also Legendary Follower Items with the 'Follower cannot die' affix: [[Enchanting Favor]] (Templar), [[Skeleton Key]] (Scoundrel), and [[Smoking Thurible]] (Enchantress). While these items are equipped, followers not only cannot die, but they in fact take no damage whatsoever. This can be used in conjunction with a [[Unity]] ring to have followers absorb half of all damage dealt to players in single player mode.

 <br>Take an enemy that burrows for example – they’re really most dangerous to a ranged class, so that’s what they focus on – they burrow and make a beeline for a ranged character. Whereas a lot of enemies will go ‘I want to attack somebody, but if I can’t reach one of the guys closest to me, or he has a lot of people attacking him already, I’m just going to choose somebody else’. So the attacks get spread out a little more. It makes having a Follower a lot more interesting because they’ll pick up some of the enemies’ focus but not all of it.</blue>

 <blue>Followers aren’t in [[PvP]] at all, and in cooperative Followers return to town. We found that having four players and four Followers on-screen all at once was pretty chaotic and hard to tell what’s going on. We logic’d out that a player is better than a Follower, they’re better companionship and they’re certainly more effective than a Follower. We figured any player would prefer to have another player, so at that point we decided to have the Follower return to town. You can always get him back later – if the other player leaves the Follower will return.</blue>
