Warning re: game-breaking Templar bug

[Tim Colwill]

Those of you who might be considering a Templar follower, read this:

dont trade your equipped shield with the templar, the game boots you out and you cant log back until blizzard notices and fixes this issue

It's now been acknowledged by Blizzard and added to the Known Issues:

When playing a Demon Hunter, giving a shield to your Templar before you kill Jondar and hire him can disconnect you from Battle.net.

I didn't even work out you could give him gear till after I hired him.....

Has this been fixed yet?

I'm still just giving the templar a shield from my inventory rather than the one I have equipped.

Only happens to DH and only if you do it before the Templar is your follower I.E pre Jondar.
