He's gone in the blink of an eye.
Class style
- Melee fighting
Protection needed
- Long Range fighting protection
Best follower
- Eirena the Enchantress
- The monk’s natural quickness does help him stay out of melee hordes. He still requires long-range protection. The enchantress will provide this protection while being healed from the monk.
7. Witch Doctor

He loves a little voodoo.
Class style
- Long Range
Protection needed
- Melee fighting protection
Best Follower
- Lyndon the Scoundrel
- The witch doctor tends to stand in one place while he casts his spells. This leads to becoming a target for long-range fighters as well as the melee fighters. The scoundrel can handle both fighters giving the best protection.
