To something that can’t dodge, can’t flee, can’t choose the battle, NO it’s not a lot.
YOU have 1k hp now and you can do all the above.
With all do respect, i understand how many hours you have in this game but quit selling it, followers are not something to play strong and skilled.
The Ai of thralls and followers still remains dum dum and crashy.

My dearest @Deamo your best substitute for bearers right now are camel fighters, they have all the hp you need them to have not to babysit them all the time. Especially with the flee option they become super useful.
Until the CRY starts for their hp, enjoy
