Otherwise, you would want to switch back to a Ruby. I figured this might help new players or whomever is struggling to get them. Once a Follower has their maximum of 150 CHD, the Emerald in their Weapon is no longer effective, unless the Emerald is part of that 150 CHD cap. ago by FallingStar95 Diablo 3: Follower Equipment Hi, everyone I just wanted to share what I equip my follower- I tend to use Lyndon, the Scoundrel- with to help me get as many death breaths and greater rift keystones as possible. My current thoughts for Followers and Gems (At Level 70 and ~30% CHC): NOTE: To learn more about the best Legendary gems, crafting. So now, I’m also considering putting a Diamond in his Helm to see if it does anything for his CDR. Followers Burden increases all damage dealt based on the number of summons currently under your control.

I tried this with the Templar and, sure enough, at Level 70 and more than 30% CHC, he gets more benefit from having a Weapon with an Emerald in it. So, I decided to test this further and this is what I discovered: Just like with our Characters, once you reach a certain Level and your CHC is close to 30%, you want to switch from Rubies in your Weapon to Emeralds. Since I rarely get any Follower’s CHC higher than 20%, I always put Rubies in their Weapon.

Last night, I was gearing up my Templar when I noticed I had gotten his CHC to 35%. Because of this, we usually put main-stat Gems in the Followers’ Jewelry and Rubies in their Weapons. I’ve always read that Followers have caps to their stats.
