Crafting items for followers

Greetings and salutations, one and all!

Is the crafting of items for followers dependent on the main character as far as the base stat that is created ~ i.e., intelligence, dexterity, or strength?

I am playing my Necromancer and have the Templar as my follower and every time I try to craft him a better weapon, it always seems to come out with an intelligence stat and I want strength.

Appreciate the help!!

The smart loot system produce stat for your current character. If you want other stat, switch to other class.

The damage of follower is negligible in later game. He/she can’t kill anything even you give him/her the best gears.

We use followers for their abilities, e.g. healing.
Some (not all) legendary items can be used by followers. Again we use their legendary powers, not their damage.
Therefore, the main stat is unimportant.

There are some follower guidelines you may reference:

Thanks Maskraider.

I have read both of those resources you listed and both do place a good amount of importance on the main stat of each follower.

Nevertheless, you answered my question, which I am very grateful for!

I dont know If It Works, but I reroll their items to get some stats for them like block chance and CDR for the templar.
