Followers -- what am I missing?

The enchantress and scoundrel can deal a decent amount of supplemental damage if you stack int or dex, respectively, on them.

For myself, I can see big changes in listed damage when I swap in a weapon. Stacking a dps stat (for me, INT) shows more measured increases at my gearing level.

If the follower gets 2.5x on a dps stat, then I'll try stacking some. The amount of base DPS even with a "good" weapon seemed so low I just have been using them as meat shield/CC.
