Diablo 3

I bring one mostly for one of their buffs. 

I just wish the Templar would STFU most of the time, however.  Even though he can emergency heal you, so he's a universally fine choice.  Annoying bastid. 

The  Rogue has a skill that will give you a crit bonus when you take him.  I also don't mind his multi-shot cone fire skill for the crossbow.. he tends to draw some of the hordes away when there are lots, briefly.

The Enchantress has one that gives you extra 'Resource' regeneration, so better Mana/whatever regen.  Probably a slightly helpful pick for the Monk and perhaps casters who have to wait on mana regen sometimes.  Also some enemy debuffs I think. 

Their DPS is crap, sure, but they do have a little bit of utility in buffs and debuffs I guess.

I said the same thing about the Templar - I want to punch him in the face 90% of the time.

I pretty much only use the Enchantress. No reason, other than she is a girl and less annoying than the rest.

"Oh I was just thinking of something they said about you!  HEHEHEHEHE!"  I want to slay her with the spawn of hell.

I never tried the Scoundrel. But I suspect he is even worse.

[Nefaro]

I find the Scoundrel's banter the least annoying.  I mean.. he jokes about womanizing & looting.  So it's somewhat amusing the first fitty times.

I have access to the Templar and the Scoundrel. I keep them back in New Tristram. Will they help me against The Butcher?

Worst line of dialogue EVER. I haven't gone near her since I first heard that. I wish there was an option to sell her to slavers.

Your pals seem to disappear during Boss fights.  ;)  So no.

[Gusington]

The templar is relatively useful to me since he melee's pretty well. I have not used the scoundrel. And the enchantress is kinda useless but is hawt, so...I'll keep her around.

[Nefaro]

I gave the Enchantress the "Hex Enemies" spell, and she now occasionally spits out an AOE that turns enemies into chickens.  :-*

Think I also use the buff that blocks some incoming enemy "missiles".  Dunno how often or long that runs but she regularly buffs me with it.

[Gusington]

^I like the sound of that.

Just remember to use it in moderation to reduce the chance of localized irritation ... and, if it's the corded version, NEVER take it in the tub with you.

[Gusington]

Too late about the irritation part.

Templar ends up adding some skills you can use for healing and for stunning bad guys, so I've generally stuck with him.

Sounds like they were swinging for the fences with that NPC. But I seriously doubt Minsc and Boo will ever be eclipsed.
