Isobel easily sailed through arc 4 and only died a couple times. One was to Lady Thorn because her AI doesn't keep her in the safety circle, and the other to Yolnahkriin because I had to heavy attack the adds in the middle to get resources back and that just sent her into the danger ring. She might have died to arc 4 Lady Belain, but I don't remember for sure.
Otherwise, she was almost unkillable. She tanked every phase of arc 4 Tho'at with barely a scratch on her, and the marauders were almost nothing.
I still had a couple threads left, but decided to end it at 5-1-1 because I'd been at it for over 2 hours.
Are you on PC or console? I tried again and my Isobel is still getting folded in Tho'at fights.
i dont think the change for the pets is on console yet, it was only put on PC last week
They put it in the console patch at the same time.
checked again and yeah its there, i dont usually read the console patch notes because i dont play on console lol
That's pretty disappointing, because it feels like companions and pets are still pretty much a liability. That's including a level 20 companion in all purple vigorous heavy armor too!
since the pet patch on PC, its actually pretty rare to see the companions or pets die
against tho'at isobel would only be taking dmg ticks of between 85 and 200 dmg per tick, which she could easily outheal on her own
she even tanked arc 2 and arc 3 marauders with no problems (one of which was gothmau)
only a few bosses will still kill her with certain mechanics (yolnakriin, lady thorn, any other boss with knockback if she gets too close to the edge, possibly some others as i havent tested every boss against the companion yet)
