These followers, can you bring them from the get go? I mean if you're just starting out with the game.

No, you need to get into Sunbreak expansion then do their quests for a bit.

For follower quests (that requires you to bring at least 1 follower), their target monster will always have a slightly lower HP than corresponding solo quests.
For any non-follower quests (but you can still bring follower after TU3), their target HP remains the same.

Keep in mind that followers do damage roughly equal to your palamute (which is around less 10% of yours).
But they come with many other benefits, such as item usages (especially traps and heals), taking aggro, automatical wyvern riding, etc.

So for the most part, taking followers with you makes the quest much easier.


If you do want to have more of a "real" multiplayer experience, there is a mod out there that upgrades them to players. Meaning: They do real damage equal to the player (instead of downscaled one), but also increases the HP scaling of the monster based equal to the number of players that would be there.
You can also take up to three followers with you, and it even works in multiplayer (if you are hosting), for a completely savage mayhen of 7 characters and their pets cheerfully playing with their prey.
The mod's name is "Follow me!" and can be found on nexusmods.

Depending on how you play the output of Palamutes is significantly higher than just < 10%

Dogs were nerfed into the ground with TU3, the highest dps they can do is around 15-20% with elemental matching and double chains. Silkbinders had raw mv nerfed and status mv absolutely gutted.
Of course the worse the hunter's performance the "better" the pets' performance, but that doesn't change the fact that the on-paper dps is now half of what it used to be, as well as status being reduced to 1/5 of its previous value. Everyone who ran status dogs will have noticed that the amount of sleep/para procs have gone down from 2-4 to 1-2 at best after TU3.

slap on double hunting horn followers and go wild lmao

Use the Follow Me mod. Scale their damage and scale monster HP and resistances and it's just like playing multiplayer, except that they don't suck.

That was my first thought as well. If that's possible to do, provided they also give you the normal buffs, it's a huge upgrade on it's own.

It's probably the best combo in vanilla. Normal HH buffs, infernal melody and group heals. You will be almost invincible with insane damage. Unless you are using some sort of low health build.
