You can already have four Barbarians / Demon Hunters / Wizards etc in one game. Four totally the same looking Barbarians / Demon Hunters / Wizards etc. In one game. Why would four Kormaks be a problem?
It’s not a small chance. It’s timed. You hit something, all three of your followers show up for 30 sec. Then they disappear. After around 30 sec, you hit something again and they appear again.
Meaning, a z class can equip Asheara’s and for half the Grift, the other classes will get all the bonuses of the z’s abilities AND those of his three followers.
It is confirmed. I’ve done it and if you check the PTR leaderboards, you’ll see zDH’s equipped with Asheara’s in group runs. So it does work in multi-player games.

Lol no, players are not the same, they all dressed up differently.
Classic! So something that was intended to boost solo play will end up boosting group play even more!

That’s why I suggested making Asheara’s a follower set with the following bonus:
2 piece: Your followers’ attack speed is increased by 25%
3 piece: While equipped on your hired follower, all three of your followers follow you (edit:) unless dismissed.
4 piece: Your follower share talisman effects. (Meaning if you have all three followers equipped with different talismans, they share all three abilities).

I assume that the 3-piece only triggers in solo, as otherwise, there is no hired follower.

Exactly. You’re follower leaves you in a multi-player game.
If what you say about Asheara’s in multiplayer is true, we have a serious issue.
It is true. I’m going to assume you aren’t calling me a liar.
But I’ve tested it with Varadia personally. We didn’t have a lot of time so we didn’t test everything. But all three followers do appear in multi-player games. All their abilities do go off and all players do get the benefits of their abilities.
We’re unsure about occulus circles in multi-player. But…Wudijo has a video of a 4 player game testing the Wizard. There was an Asheara zdh in the game and it does show their abilities going off. I think I even saw more than one occulus circle showing up.
Anyway, there’s video evidence if you want to look it up.

Agreed. Removing Asheara’s from the z changes nothing about a z. A zclass is going to be a zclass whether they have Asheara’s or not, so they don’t really need it.
But giving single player the ability to have all three followers at the same time would help single player. The problem is, with it being a set for the classes, only zclass’s can get the get benefit in a functioning way. We have to give up too much damage to wear it.

The problem is, multi-players gets all three followers due to a z not giving up anything to equip Asheara’s.
While in single player, to get all three, a player has to give up damage. The fair thing to do is let single player have all three too without giving up anything.
And the abundantly fair thing to do is disable multi-player from having followers at all, because…the z is the follower for a group and his abilities far outstrip those of a follower anyway even with the new follower abilities. Taking Asheara’s away from a z doesn’t change a z in the slightest and doesn’t change the leaderboards one iota.
Not a single person thinks your ideas are brilliant. Just you.

I think they should just introduce SSF(Solo Self Found) league/ladder, if people are so keen to play fully SOLO and don’t want to “compete” vs groups. Currently this is just bad design, solo players get to have fun and group players don’t.
Group players may hate me for saying this, but I think they should fix Asheara’s Vestments so the Set won’t spawn Followers in Multiplayer Games.
Last week, I couldn’t resist. I knew it wouldn’t work, but after reading about Asheara’s in Group Games, I had to try.
I crafted 3 pieces of Asheara’s for my Follower, Kormac the Templar, and ran a Greater Rift. (He’s wearing the RoRG). He did not summon his companions.
It’s understandable though. He doesn’t exactly care for Lyndon and he’s too shy to talk to Eirena.

They work for emanates items, they will never do enough damage to be a factor in output, but with rorg and sage/cain, makes dbs and token farm very very easy. 6-8 db’s a pack kill.

Group players still have all their old advantages, and 2 new builds to tinker with. This just closes the gap a bit.

Ok, I needed some clarity. I’m playing season 23 with my wife multiplayer and we need to equip a follower to finish our chapter 2 objective and receive haedrigs gift. How do we get a follower to follow to complete that objective? Help appreciated.
