Eh, I've had good experiences with the Templar, and will stick with him for my Wizard and DH. Enchantress when I'm Monk or Barb.....and not sure for Witch Doctor. Just have to experiment for that.

Well...I was also playing with him before they made him useful. The only thing he was (halfway) good for was being attacked by enemies instead of me XD

Yeah, that he was.....just a damage sink was what he was.

I use the same technique alpha does, Templar + Range x3. Works wonders with a Demon hunter, I like using the chakra Shurikens, the shred through crowds like there nothing ^^

Will state, the Scoundrel actually does some decent DPS, so may use him as ranged on occasion.
