8 Pets on a Demon Hunter? Whaaaaaaaa? I knew it could get a wolf follower and there were legendaries to add some more, but 8?!
My WD runs around with a minimum of 6. The Gargantuan and 5x Dogs. However I also use the Fetish Syncophants Passive, which means there is a 5% chance of spawning a fetish (same as the Fetish Army dudes) that will follow me for a minute when I attack with Toads, Firebats or Locusts. So I regularly have 3-4 of those guys following too providing I'm attacking lots - however I do spend a lot of time kiting drawing aggro rather than pure attacking.
If you have the full Zunamasa (spelling?) legendary set those fetish that spawn will last for ever. So you could potentially have a stupid amount of them. Imagine there may be other legendaries that spawn extras for the WD too although I've not come across them.
