Stop assuming you know

All we have is a short video showing the followers in action and a basic overview of their skills and armor. Yet many people are acting like they know exactly how followers will work out. But we don't. Blizzard hasn't told us anything about the footage, so there's a ton we don't know.

-We don't know if we can have followers in multiplayer or if it's just a single player feature.

-We don't what gear they can wear or how much they benefit from it.

-We don't know if they will be viable at level 60 or even if they can get up to 60. Who cares if they can tank 10 enemies in normal if they die in one hit in hell?

-Other than the basic damage spells, we don't know what their spells do. So stop saying one has a MF ability.

-We don't know how having a follower will affect balance. Maybe getting a follower will make the enemy difficulty scale up, just like in multiplayer when another player joins.


Seriously, some people are acting like D3 is being rushed by some rookie developer. Blizzard has proven itself plenty of times and they're taking their time to get D3 right. Have a little faith.
