Enchantress Follower Skills and Gearing Guide (Updated for Patch 2.7.5 and Season 28)

The Enchantress is the most versatile of the bunch, offering a balance between utility and damage buffs, and offering some excellent speed farming potential when she is fully optimized. Take the Enchantress to GR progression if you are chasing cooldown reduction or attack speed breakpoints, as she makes both tasks easier, or if you want to have a thoroughly utility-driven character when farming GRs or keystones.

The recommended abilities for the Enchantress are:

• Level 15: Temporal Pulse — Take this skill for an AoE, Intelligence-scaling duration slow on a very short cooldown that offers an easy proc for bonuses like Bane of the Trapped.
• Level 20: Prophetic Harmony — one of the highlights in the Enchantress arsenal, this ability offers a scaling cooldown reduction bonus to your character based on the Intelligence on her equipment.
• Level 25: Powered Shield — a powerful passive shield that reduces incoming ranged damage, improves Armor and even throws a slow against melee attackers with an Int-scaling duration.
• Level 30: Focused Mind — Another passive, constantly available effect (as long as you fit in the generous 40 yard radius) that increases attack speed based on the Enchantress' Intelligence stat.

Note that once optimized with survivability as well as Intelligence, the Enchantress can be swapped to Hand of the Prophet to grant her access to all abilities, expanding the arsenal of buffs with additional damage and further snowballing your speed runs. This change however is only viable during speed farming, where monsters die before they are able to inflict severe damage to your Enchantress. Such a setup also requires that you level and equip your Enchantress with Esoteric Alteration and Mutilation Guard, which are defensive juggernauts and the only two legendary gems that work on followers.

The following setup reflects the best-in-slot item choices and gear rolls for an Enchantress taken to Greater Rifts with the intent of pushing leaderboard. Note the focus on pure Attack Speed with the inclusion of Mempo of Twilight, The Witching Hour and Tal Rasha's Relentless Pursuit — all items with innate attack speed rolls. Note that the Enchantress can not equip an off-hand item, so despite our recommendation for a one-handed weapon, it cannot be paired with anything.
