That, along with his sneaking skills, plus his level cap is high(81), he is essential, AND he melts faces! :D J'zargo is going to be my next main follower. (I never really got into the College Of Winterhold Quest.)

Although, if you are not past level 40(or fifty, I can't remember) I recommend Marcurio as a substitute because followers who have lower level caps have more stats per level....So Marcurio uses higher level spells and melts more face until his level cap is reached, then J'zargo takes precedence as chief-face melter
