Hey folks,

Constructing a mage build, and am going to want a ranged follower so they don't get in my way when trying to cast spells. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

The bow guy in Riverwood.

He also teaches bow skills. He can level himself lol. Just kidding.

Aela is good.

Macurio is good about staying out of my way. I'm liking Jenassa more and more now that i've crafted her some decent staves and a bow. She will fire at range until the distance is closed and then go to town dual-wielding a sword/staff.

3 mage recruits(my personal fav is J'Zarggo) at the college of winterhold or the wood efl in riverwood

Marcurio is awesome as long as he doesn't hit your melee character with his spells. He'll take out two or three archers before I can even get up the ramp to try to kill them.
