Also good backup for failed Pickpocket attempts. Very handy in a lot of situations where you have a target, but he isn't alone, and you're a fairly weak roguey type. With Jenassa, Annekke, Faendal, and any other archer, you can tell them to 'Wait Here' within LoS, sneak up for a backstab, and they will automatically start support fire. At her level cap of 50, her Sneak skill reaches 97 (thanks to her thief classification), making her the best Skyrim follower for sneaky thieves and stealthy archers. Mikrul Gauldurson is cheesy easy with this startegy, as is Olaf 1I (you can just let the Bard do his thing, though.) Even works with Conjuration if you know where to drop Sir Stompy. Not only is she great with a bow for long-distance attacks, but she is decent enough with one-handed weapons for melee attacks. Order Lydia to move forward, and engage while you hang back in the shadows with a bow. The DBHIs are not immortal, but amoral, and replaceable. Eola is better for Necromancers, that's about it. (Worth it to hear her reply.) Best follower for anyone.
