Diablo 3 – the Three Followers & the their Abilities Guide

SCOUNDREL

The Scoundrel is the second follower that you’re able to recruit. Unlike Templar, the Scoundrel likes to use two-handed ranged weapons. So if you have weapons like a crossbow / bow, give it to him as he’ll be able to make use of it. One of the disadvantage of the Scoundrel, is that he’s not a support character, but rather a DPS ones.
