A defining permanent feature introduced in Diablo III update 2.7.0 (Eternal Collection) is the comprehensive Follower System Revamp. This update fundamentally changed how followers (the Scoundrel, Templar, and Enchantress) assist players in solo gameplay. Key Feature: Follower System Revamp & "Emanate"
Expanded Equipment: Followers can now be equipped with a total of 14 item slots, up from a very limited selection previously. This includes a dedicated Follower Relic, Helm, Shoulders, Chest, Gloves, Bracers, Belt, 2 Rings, Neck, Pants, Boots, and weapons.
Emanate Ability: This new mechanic allows you to gain the legendary powers and set bonuses of specific items when they are equipped on your follower. For example, if your follower wears Nemesis Bracers, you will still trigger a champion pack when you click a shrine, even if you aren't wearing them yourself.
Skill Reworks: All three followers received major skill overhauls to improve their utility and scaling based on their primary attributes (Strength for Templar, Dexterity for Scoundrel, Intelligence for Enchantress).
Cheat Death Priority: Follower "cheat death" skills—such as the Scoundrel's Vanish or the Templar's Guardian—now take priority over the player's own passive cheat death skills, providing a more reliable safety net in high-stakes combat. Other Update 2.7.x Highlights
Solo Leaderboards: New filters were added to solo leaderboards, allowing players to sort by specific class sets or view rankings for those playing with "No Class Set".
Adventure Mode Unlocked: Starting with patch 2.7.4, Adventure Mode is unlocked by default for all players, removing the requirement to complete the Story Campaign first.
Permanent Seasonal Themes: Subsequent 2.7 updates (such as 2.7.7) made popular seasonal themes like the Altar of Rites (Rites of Sanctuary) and Visions of Enmity permanent additions to the game. Diablo III Eternal Collection -NSP--Update 2.7....
