Is a nat's ring really better than a SoJ with 12+% bola shot or elemental arrow and 30% to elites + 10 max discipline? Or with multishot bonus? I don't think so, personally. Especially the stronger your character is. I would leave the ring as last upgrade and calculate just how much it matters then, since it may seem better at low dps to take a nat's ring. Obviously once you reach level 100 it's a nat's ring + soj though
You can use 2 rings, so you could easily use both if you wanted. I guess it would depend on build and what you are doing to answer if its truly worth using SOJ.
First of all, thx for the guide its very nice information and the gear section ist outstandingly usefull.
The only question left over to me is if nat chest really is best in slot, most dh i see use innas and theres some really nice arguments on using it now that we could hide the uglyness.
Whats your thoughts on this, is 10dicipline really worth the loss of stats?
Also for builds below 500m and while not using inna chest im fairly sure that the innas belt nets more dps for half the cost of a witching hour easily due to the 130extra dex!
My WH, which is kinda shitty, yields the same dps as my innas belt with set bonus.
You are correct the most common setup, and arguably the best is Inna chest + inna pants + nat ring + nat boots.
Your info on the follower gear is wrong. You only get 20% of the MF on the follower, thus a follower with a weapon of 50 MF only yields 0.2 * 50 = 10 MF. That is basically nothing! Much better idea to help your survivability and kill faster than to get less than 10 MF.

This weapon will forcefully repel undead enemies. (knockbacks undead)

Ideally get freeze for the Templar and Scoundrel as the affix is likely additive, thus removing the probability that several CCs occur at the same time. For example a stun and a freeze occurring at the same time.
Rings
If you want/need the follower to not die, then you might invest in his effective health. If you take this route, +IAS (Increased attack speed) is also quite useful as it will enable their followers weapons to proc more often. Otherwise, +exp is the way to go.
