Bit off the wall idea ;)

Waaay back in the 80's when i was playing pnp dnd , there was an ability that fighters had that basically attracted followers, lower level fighters that would become like your apprentices.

So i was thinking as i sat LFG for bout 2 hours over the course of the day , wouldnt it be cool if i could just walk to the nearest town and summon a follower. For balance purposes the follower would be about equivilent to the pet that SK's get at 64 or 65 , i forget, roughly 50dps / 2000hps . The follower would help the warriors ability to solo a little bit if hes careful . Any aggro the follower generated would simply be added to the masters , since he is under his direct guidance. Control of the follower would be the same as other pets, with one difference , the next time the warrior attracts a follower , it will be the same guy. Since it is always the same guy (and somene only you can get) , he would have the same items that you gave him before , this would allow those that work harder , to better equip there follower. Imagine all the no drop stuff that you have sitting in bank going onto your follower

.

Overall i think the follower would help shore up alot of the warriors shortcomeing , without being unbalanceing (if the SK pet @ 65 % haste self buffed is cool then this one should be too).
It would allow the warrior to solo , add some dps and aggro in raid / exp situations , but not overly much.

Ya i know , its WAAAAY out there , but wth .

SOOO fun that would be, id love to be able to do something with the armor i have rotting in my bank.. but the whining from other classes.. *cringe* Love the idea tho!

plus.. melee classes arent allowed to solo! you know your place, tank!

Only thing i can solo for any exp are Velks and Seb.. and thats just boring :x

I love this idea. I think the "follower" should be in the form of a War Dog or a War Pig.. but a great idea nevertheless, imho.

war goat.

cleric goat

If I'm gonna have a follower, I want him to heal me to be useful

This would be way fun. Every other class would complain but none the less a brilliant idea.

Yah,

But then Paladins will see our getting it as unfair and demand altar boys of their own

I have always wanted D&D style followers for my warrior. If you could pick and choose and either get a rogue, warrior, or priest class follower depending on the situation, and make him low enough level to not make it overpowered. Definitely a cool idea.
