Friends with Benefits
People often say everything is better with friends. This often holds true in gaming and Diablo 3 is a prime example of this. Going with friends provides higher experience gains, better loot and someone to watch your backside when demons try to fillet it. The game is even so kind as to provide a selection of 3 digital buddies you can bring along for the ride. Like real friends, these should not be neglected.
Kormac the Templar, Lyndon the Scoundrel, and Eirena the Enchantress are all available to come along for the ride here. Each one provides a little boost to killing power along with a collection of skills you can mould to make them the perfect companion.
Taking one on your journey is always preferable to going out solo. Even if you’re a bonafide level 70 badass who laughs in the face of giant spiders, the small heal offered by Kormac or the polymorph Eirena can dish out will always be a help rather than a hindrance.
Just don’t forget to give them some of the gear you don’t need. It never hurts to have a buddy who can deal a little more damage than a brisk wind.
