He's meant to do very low damage. Like what has been said, he's meant to be a tank more than a DPS, but also, they aren't meant to help you with DPS in a large way, other than any buffs they give you.
Blizzard did comment on this at one point. If I find the post I'll link it here.
Templar does15% weapon damage. He was too strong earlier in the beta and they wanted him to fill a tanking/healing role, not a killing everything with impunity role (which is your job)
templar is useful for range classes since he can tank the mobs while u shoot them down hes supposed to not be able to kill anything just keep mobs off u. The other followers will likely be much higher dps since they arent meat shields

Yes. It's been stated time again that the templar is not the hero - you are. I mean, look at those puny cultists who chained him up... and you just run right in and slaughter the whole lot as if it's nothing. Big difference in power there.
Plus, no one's DPS is high in the beta. So you might get 20,30, even 60 or so (or higher), but it's still a really small number.
I think that an Inferno geared Templar will be able to kill... SK in norm. But he will be alive in Inferno, which is what we want anyway (moving monster magnet).
haters gonna hate and tankers are gonna tank. no dps required. We can only wait and see what the other 2 followers will do when the game is released and we play it out. Hopefully there not at 15% damage...
What do you mean the Act 1 rogue was useless. Just find a 3 socket bow and put some of the elemental damage chipped gems and she can doe massive amounts of damage in the first part of Act 1.

Is this a beta thing?, or the templar is just some dummy npc that is there to... I dont know. make you feel less lonely?
I played D2 and used to have really useful mercenaries (with proper gear of course), but this templar is quite bad...
What do you think?
