< Companion Abilities > [CP0J0]

Companion abilities have multiple sets of priorities based on how and when they use their abilities. The most basic of these rules is where they are placed on their action bar, abilities in Slot 1 are cast first while those in Slot 5 are cast last. The first rule is all abilities must be used before auto-attack, they only auto-attack when all other options have been exhausted. The second rule checks for conditions met such as a target's health percentage. Third rule if the target they are attacking is in range, if they cannot reach their target then they will skip to the next ability down the line rather than trying to reach their target. If no conditions can be met and no target can be reached then they will cast their abilities that do not require a target even if it is in Slot 5. This can make it seem random when they decide to skip a melee ability in Slot 2 and use a range ability in Slot 4, but then run into melee to use ability in Slot 2 before auto-attacking.

You want to have healing and defensive abilities with health conditions in the first Slots of their action bar like Drake's Blood and Kindle for Bastian. While the health check condition will normally prevent them from casting when his health drops below the threshold he will then cast them as his first action. If you place them in Slot 5, when his health drops below 75%, he won't use them until all other abilities in Slot 1 to 4 are on cooldown.

If you plan on using Executes they should be after condition healing abilities. My preferred order on damaging abilities is to have damage over time effects closer to the front, melee abilities, then range abilities. Abilities with no target such as Haste is usually in Slot 5; however, this counts as an ability with no target so if they are too far away from the target they are attacking where no range or melee abilities can reach they will use Haste as their first action. If you plan to use Haste or Second Wind in your abilities, be sure to have your companion within in distance of a gap closer or their range abilities before engaging.

Ability Type

There are 4 types of companion abilities: Melee, Ranged, Wave, and Self, No Target. Melee and ranged are simple to understand, if a target is in range they will use that ability if not it skips to the next one on their action bar until something can hit. If you have a combination of melee at the front of the action bar and ranged at the back, if their target is further away it will skip the melee abilities and go straight to using the ranged abilities first until the companion can reach their target to use melee abilities. If neither melee or ranged abilities can hit the target they are focused on attacking then they will use their self, no target abilities while making their way to the focused target. Wave abilities require a target to walk in between the minimum to maximum range of the attack, but does not need to target them directly to use.

Gap Closers
There are 4 abilities to close the gap between your Companion and their focused target, these are: Bastian - Blazing Grasp (single target), Mirri - Warp Strike, Isobel - Gallant Blitz, and One-Hand and Shield - Bashing Bulwark. I like to point out these are useless when used with ranged weapons as roll dodge takes highest priority over all actions. You can try give Bastian a Flame Staff with Blazing Grasp, he will pull his target to him then immediately roll dodge out of the way. However if you use them with a Frost Staff which counts as a tank weapon, you can get away with abilities such as Elemental Barricade, Arcane Nova, or any similar abilities more effectively hitting more targets without roll dodging away right after.

Ranged Abilities

Starfall
This isn't unique to Starfall, but all ranged abilities, this one just highlights the problem with both visual and audible cues. When a companion tries to use a ranged ability, but the target is not within line of sight, instead of trying to get into a valid range they will repeatedly cast the first ranged ability in their list spamming it until it does hit. Starfall is the best ability to have in your first slot if you plan on making them ranged attackers as you'll see a visual blue ring and the sound spamming if they are not within line of sight, you can then move the target into range they can see to continue attacking. If you use any other range ability, they won't have as much of a notice that your companion is not in line of sight and will experience the same problem.

Wave Abilities
These are confusing as they would appear to be ranged abilities, but actually are not. They won't cast these unless a valid target walks in front of them up to the maximum range, sometimes at the very end of the covered area. These would be abilities like Elemental Barricade, Trick Shot, Mending Incantation, Spear of Light, and Entomb. Some of these abilities are also tied to ranged weapons like Bow and Staff, but because of the roll dodge mechanic can reduce their effective range if their focused target gets too close. As mentioned above with Gap Closers, you can fix that problem for many of them.

Self, No Target Abilities
These are most general abilities like Hurricane Visage, Solar Ward, Searing Weapons, and even Haste unfortunately. If the focused target they are attacking is not in range to attack with any ability or there is nothing to heal, these are the first to cast while they are on the move regardless of where you have it positioned on the action bar. This does mean its possible to have Haste in the 5th slot, that which resets all other ability cooldowns, can cast as their first action if no other ability conditions can be met. You'll know Haste is cast when you see a flash of blue light that does nothing else. Keep this in mind when you engage combat, if the target is too far away it might be best to get in closer first before initiating.

Ability Values
Damage and healing numbers will vary based on companion's passives, armor, weapon, and traits. The best way I can represent how much each ability deals is to say [100% weapon power] to give a better understanding of how much they are actually doing with your present setup. Companion's auto attacks deal [50% weapon power]. Values are listed with Epic weapons with companion level 20.

One-Hand and Shield
7350 = [100% weapon power]
3675 = [50% weapon power]

Dual-Wield
7590 = [100% weapon power]
3795 = [50% weapon power]

Bow, Staff, Two-Hand
8700 = [100% weapon power]
4350 = [50% weapon power]

Two-handed [CP0J1]

Cast: 0.6 sec
Range: Self, No Target
Cooldown: 6 sec
Rating: * * * *
- Base Max Health of a level 20 companion is 30,000; this provides a minimum of 7500 Damage Shield, up to a maximum of 10,135 Damage Shield for Bastian and Azandar with full Vigorous. Warden's Minor Toughness can also affect it.

Dual-Wield [CP0J3]

Swift Assault: Companion floods an enemy with steel, battering them with five consecutive attacks that each deal [20% weapon power].
Channel: 0.6 sec
Range: 5 meters, Melee
Cooldown: 8 sec
Rating: * * *
- Standard melee ability.

Cast: 0.4 sec
Range: 6 meters, Melee
Cooldown: 12 sec
Rating: * * *
- Standard AOE ability.

Razor Cape: Companion envelops themselves in a ring of floating razors, dealing [20% weapon power] to nearby enemies every 2 seconds for 8 seconds. The razors also shield them from attacks, reducing their damage taken by 20%.
Cast: 0.2 sec
Range: Self, No Target (covers 5 meters)
Cooldown: 12 sec
Rating: * * *
- Standard mitigation ability.

Bow [CP0J4]

Piercing Arrow: Companion plants a masterfully aimed arrow in an enemy's vital spot, dealing [100% weapon power].
Cast: 1.0 sec
Range: 35 meters, Ranged
Cooldown: 8 sec
Rating: *
- This has the longest cast time of any [100% weapon power] ability. The trade off is a low cooldown and increased range, but that just delays the companion longer as they still need to close the distance to use any other ranged abilities or auto attack. Unless you have no other options available, I would avoid using this in your rotation.

Trick Shot: Companion fires a burst of arrows to pin enemies in front of them, dealing [50% weapon power] and immobilizing them for 4 seconds.
Cast: 0.2 sec
Range: 20 meters, Wave
Cooldown: 16 sec
Rating: * *
- This is a Wave ability and only activates when an enemy walks in front of them within the max distance of 20 meters. If the target they are attacking comes into melee range, they will roll dodge first before casting.

Viper's Bite: Companion shoots an arrow covered in Baandari poison at an enemy, dealing [50% weapon power] and an additional [150% weapon power] over 8 seconds.
Cast: 0.1 sec
Range: 28 meters, Ranged
Cooldown: 12 sec
Rating: * * * *
- Overall it does [200% weapon power] at its full duration, I would suggest using no more than 34% Quickened to get the maximum benefit from this ability, the duration will end just as the cast time completes, refreshing as the last tick does damage.

Destruction Staff [CP0J5]

Destructive Blast: Companion blasts an enemy with Magic, dealing [100% weapon power].
- Flame Blast knocks them back 8 meters and stuns them for 2.5 seconds.
- Frost Blast taunts them for 15 seconds.
- Shock Blast deals an additional [50% weapon power] to all other enemies around them.
Cast: 0.5 sec
Range: 28 meters, Ranged
Cooldown: 16 sec
Flame/Frost: * *
Lightning: * * * *
- The knockback from the Flame Staff is more of a nuisance than a benefit, especially if you're melee having your target get thrown away from you. The Frost Staff is a soft taunt rather than a lock on taunt like Provoke or Savage Instinct, other taunts used within this period can steal the target from your companion and it is not conditioned by "target not already taunted" making it an ineffective tank mechanic. Lightning Staff deals additional damage to nearby enemies.

Elemental Barricade: Companion slams their staff down to create an elemental wall in front of them, dealing [100% weapon power] over 8 seconds.
Cast: Instant
Range: 18 meters, Wave
Cooldown: 8 sec
Flame/Lightning: * * *
Frost: * * * *
- This is a Wave ability and only activates when an enemy walks in front of them within the max distance of 18 meters. This is most effective when combined with a Gap Closer such as Warp Strike or Gallant Blitz and a Frost Staff to hit multiple enemies.

Arcane Nova: Companion releases a surge of magic to enemies around them, dealing [100% weapon power].
- Fire Nova applies the Burning status effect.
- Frost Nova applies the Chill status effect.
- Shock Nova applies the Concussion status effect.
Cast: Instant
Range: 6 meters, Melee
Cooldown: 12 sec
Flame/Lightning: *
Frost: * * * * *
- This is a melee ability and depending on what staff is equipped will determine its effectiveness. Flame and Lightning Staff will be the most difficult to trigger as they will likely roll dodge first and only use it when they have no more charges off cooldown. Frost Staff is the most effective outcome and like with Elemental Barricade, combining with a Gap Closer gives it the best option.

Restoration Staff [CP0J6]

Rejuvenation: Companion shares their staff's life-giving energy, healing themselves and a nearby ally for [100% weapon power] over 8 seconds.
Cast: 0.3 sec
Range: 28 meters, Ranged
Cooldown: 12 sec
Rating: * * *
- Standard heal over time ability. This can heal themselves.

Mending Incantation: Companion slams their staff down to active its blessing, healing themselves and allies in front of them for [50% weapon power]. The blessing also grants 7000 Spell and Physical Resistance for 8 seconds.
Cast: 0.4 sec
Range: 20 meters, Wave
Cooldown: 16 sec
Rating: * *
- This is a Wave ability and only activates when an ally walks in front of them within the max distance of 20 meters. This can be a very unreliable healing ability unlike other abilities that target you specifically, you or an ally has to walk in front of the companion for this ability to cast. It's difficult to get multiple targets under its effect unless you plan ahead and position multiple targets to stand in front of the companion before their next cast. The Spell and Physical Resist buff is unique and stacks with similar buffs like Major Resolve and Minor Resolve.

Mystic Fortress: Companion calls on their staff's strength to protect themselves or the lowest Health ally around them, granting a damage shield that absorbs [300% weapon power].
Used when Companion or an ally is below 25% Health.
Cast: 0.6 sec
Range: 28 meters, Ranged
Cooldown: 8 sec
Rating: * * *
- This neither a good or bad ability, the health condition makes it hard to evaluate. The low cooldown allows it to be chain cast with a minimum effect of 26,100 damage shield per target.

Fighters Guild [CP0J7]

Sniping Silver: Companion fires a Dawnguard Vampire Hunter's crossbow bolt at an enemy, dealing [100% weapon power].
Deals double damage if the enemy is an Undead, Daedra, or Werewolf.
Cast: 0.4 sec
Range: 28 meters, Ranged
Cooldown: 12 sec
Rating: * * * * *
- Low cast time with a condition to deal double damage. Whether with a melee or ranged build, this is a must have staple attack.

Ritual of Salvation: Companion brands the earth underneath them with a rune of protection for 8 seconds. Standing within the rune reduces the damage they and their allies take by 20%.
If the attacker is an Undead, Daedra, or Werewolf the rune reduces damage taken by an additional 20%.
Cast: 0.4 sec
Range: Self, No Target (covers 5 meters)
Cooldown: 16 sec
Rating: * * * * *
- Area of effect damage mitigation ability. Anyone stepping into it gains its effect, double protection from certain mob types. Multiple casts do stack, multiplicatively, and with high Quickened its possible to have up to 3 stacks at once from a single companion.

Biting Trap: Companion sets a sharpened blade trap in front of them, which takes 1.5 seconds to arm and lasts for 8 seconds. When an enemy triggers the trap, they are immobilized for 4 seconds. If the enemy is an Undead, Daedra, or Werewolf they take [50% weapon power].
Cast: 0.4 sec
Range: Self, No Target
Cooldown: 8 sec
Rating: *
- This is a poorly thought out ability, it counts as Self, No Target ability so it can be cast from anywhere. If your companion is too far away from their target, they will cast this out in the distance then continue moving forward. If positioned in near the front it can be wasted in the middle of nowhere, if positioned in the rear it doesn't go off until everything else casts. Getting a mob to run over it is another challenge.

Mages Guild [CP0J8]

Starfall: Companion calls a comet down from the constellations to blast an enemy, dealing [100% weapon power].
Cast: 0.6 sec
Range: 28 meters, Ranged
Cooldown: 8 sec

Parallel: Companion barters with Oblivion for power, generating 50 Ultimate.
Cast: 0.6 sec
Range: Self, No Target
Cooldown: 16 sec
Rating: * * *

Undaunted [CP0J9]

Crimson Font: Companion conjures a foundation of blood to sustain themselves and allies around it, healing for [17% weapon power] every 1 second for 16 seconds (289% weapon power total). Allies near the fountain can activate the Crimson Funnel synergy, healing for 50% of their Max Health.
Cast: 0.6 sec
Range: Self, No Target (covers 28 meters)
Cooldown: 36 sec
Rating: * * * *
- Despite its long cooldown, it's a very powerful heal on demand within the 16 second duration.

Savage Instinct: Companion ignites the fires of hate in an enemy's heart, dealing [50% weapon power] and taunting the enemy to attack them for 15 seconds. An ally targeting the enemy can activate the Savage Implosion synergy, causing the enemy to implode after 2 seconds dealing [50% weapon power] to them and other nearby enemies.
Used when the enemy is not already taunted.
Cast: Instant
Range: 28 meters, Ranged
Cooldown: 36 sec
Rating: * * *

Skeletal Aegis: Companion surrounds themselves with a whirlwind of bones, granting a damage shield for 30% of their Max Health for 6 seconds. While the damage shield holds an ally near them can activate the Bone Aegis synergy, granting them a damage shield for 50% of their Max Health for 6 seconds.
Cast: 0.6 sec
Range: Self, No Target
Cooldown: 36 sec
Rating: * * *
- Not nearly as long as Crimson Font, your window of opportunity is quick to expire if you don't use the synergy in time.

High Isles Chapter - 2022

< Ember > [CP0M0]

Khajiit Skills
Cunning: Increases Critical Chance by 3% and damage done by 3%.
(requires additional 438 Critical Rating for Critical Chance to activate)

Lightning Caller [CP0M1]

Crystal Blast: Ember conjures dark crystals to bombard an enemy, dealing [100% weapon power].
Cast: 0.8 sec
Range: 28 meters, Ranged
Cooldown: 8 sec
Rating: * *
- This has the second longest cast time of any [100% weapon power] ranged ability, beaten out by Lethal Arrow with 1.0 second cast time, low cooldown. I would suggest using Starfall or Sniping Silver over this ability, but if you need filler then use it.
- Fun Fact: Crystal Blast was a Crystal Shard morph replaced by Crystal Weapon, it used to do additional AOE damage and stunned the main target, this version does neither.

Shocking Burst: Ember creates a nexus of storm energy at the target location, instantly dealing [50% weapon power] to all enemies in the area and an additional [56.15% weapon power] over 8 seconds.
Cast: 0.6 sec

- A fairly decent ranged and AOE ability.

Used when the enemy is below 25% Health.
Cast: Instant
Range: 28 meters, Ranged
Cooldown: 16 sec
Rating: * * * *
- Above average execute ability. Ranged and does secondary AOE damage.

Mischievous Caster [CP0M2]

Entomb: Ember uses binding magic to immobilize enemies in front of them for 4 seconds and heal themselves for [150% weapon power] over 8 seconds.
Cast: 0.4 sec
Range: 18 meters, Wave
Cooldown: 16 sec
Rating: * * * *
- This is a Wave ability and only activates when an enemy walks in front of them within the max distance of 18 meters. Unlike most other companion immobilizing abilities this one covers a large range that also heals her.

Hurricane Visage: Ember manifests themselves as pure lightning, zapping nearby enemies with electricity dealing [50% weapon power] over 8 seconds. While in this form their damage taken is reduced by 20%.
Cast: 0.4 sec
Range: Self, No Target (covers 5 meters)
Cooldown: 12 sec
Rating: * * *
- Standard damage mitigation ability.

Trickster's Trap: Ember dazzles an enemy in a ball of magic, stunning them for 3 seconds.
Cast: 0.6 sec
Range: 28 meters, Ranged
Cooldown: 8 sec
Rating: *
- I prefer Entomb over this.

Playful Schemer [CP0M3]

Quick Fix: Ember patches themselves or an ally with restorative magic, healing for [100% weapon power].
Used when Ember or an ally is below 75% Health.
Cast: 0.6 sec
Range: 28 meters, Ranged
Cooldown: 8 sec
Rating: * * *
- Standard healing ability.

Shared Wards: Ember conjures wards made of energy for protection, granting a damage shield for them and their nearby allies that absorbs [50% weapon power] for 6 seconds. Targets affected by the shield are also healed for [50% weapon power] over 8 seconds
Cast: 0.6 sec
Range: 28 meters, Ranged
Cooldown: 12 sec
Rating: * * * *
- This always targets herself and you when solo, making it a reliable shield and healing ability. Unlike Basalt Barrier, the healing is independent of the Shield.

Second Wind: Ember uses their backup resources, reducing the cooldown of all their other abilities by 5 seconds.
Cast: 0.3 sec
Range: Self, No Target
Cooldown: 16 sec
Rating: * * * * *
- A compact Haste, affects Haste, and Haste affects Second Wind. Rule of thumb if her frontal abilities have a cooldown 5 seconds or less, place Second Wind before Haste. If the cooldowns are over 5 seconds, then Haste before Second Wind.

Ultimate [CP0M4]

Raging Storm: Ember creates a thunderstorm that follows the target, striking all enemies within for [18.75% weapon power] every 1 second for 8 seconds. The final strike deals [75% weapon power] to enemies under 25% Health.
Cast: 0.2 sec
Range: 28 meters, Ranged (covers 8 meters)
Rating: * * *
- The execute at the end only looks impressive saying "300% additional damage" in actuality it deals a quarter less than a normal ability. Nonetheless it is a very useful ultimate dealing AOE damage, if you can get it on a high health target it follows them around hitting multiple targets.

Channel: 1.0 second
Range: 7 meters, Wave
Cooldown: 16 sec
Rating: * * *
- The actual Range type on this ability is versatile it can be both a Self, No Target and a Wave ability behaving in both ways to your disadvantage so it's possible, but rarely will cast and hit nothing in front of her. The bonus damage buff makes up for it.

Sun Brand: Isobel Veloise hurls a blazing ball of fire at an enemy, dealing [100% weapon power] on impact and an additional [75% weapon power] over 8 seconds.

Channel: 3.0 seconds
Range: 28 meters, Ranged
Cooldown: 8 sec
Rating: * * * *
- As far as executes go, this is fairly powerful dealing above the normal [300% weapon power] of other executes and with high Quickened the cooldown is fast enough to where its possible for her to chain cast this if you don't mind her being stun locked.

Brilliant Shield [CP0N2]

Solar Ward: Isobel Veloise summons the power of the sun to defend themselves from harm, reducing incoming damage by 20% and granting a damage shield that absorbs up to 12.5% of their Max Health for 6 seconds.

Cast: Instant
Range: 7-22 meters, Ranged
Cooldown: 12 sec
Rating: * * * *
- Gap Closers are rare on top of that it is an AOE Off Balance ability, make the best use of Wave abilities like Spear of Light. Combine with Frost Staff Elemental Barricade or Arcane Nova.

Spear of Light: Isobel Veloise hurls a barrage of spears made of radiant light at all targets in front of them, dealing [50% weapon power] and knocking them down for 4 seconds. This attack ignores the enemy's Resistances.

Healing Grace [CP0N3]

Cast: 0.5 sec
Range: Self, No Target (covers 12 meters)
Cooldown: 16 sec
Rating: * * *
- This ability has odd behaviors because of its Range parameters, when combined with Gap Closers like Gallant Blitz or Bashing Bulwark can cause it to cast first before charging or after upon reaching her target. In most cases though she will cast it when the target she is focused on attacking comes into melee range, it will not trigger from other enemies she isn't focused on. This can heal other companions.

Beam of Reproach: Isobel Veloise bathes an enemy in a beam of sunlight, immediately dealing [50% weapon power] and healing allies nearby for [50% weapon power]. The residual light will then continue to heal allies near the enemy for [12.5% weapon power] every 2 seconds for 8 seconds.
Cast: Instant

- Talk about over bloated. Ranged, deals damage and AOE burst heal, AOE heal over time near the target. This can heal other companions.

Ultimate [CP0N4]

Baneslayer: Isobel Veloise channels their energy and conjures a weapon made of sunlight before striking downward, dealing [100% weapon power] to all enemies in front of them. Enemies damaged by Baneslayer have particles remaining on them for 10 seconds that detonate for [50% weapon power] when a player deals damage to them.
Cast: 3.8 sec
Range: 15 meters, Wave
Rating: *
- There is so much wrong with this ultimate that I wouldn't recommend slotting this ability. Console or with gamepad mode it can't be removed, only on keyboard/mouse can you remove it from her action bar. First it takes the longest cast time, I assume this is so you can gather multiple targets before it casts. Second it can be interrupted while "casting" if she is struck with a stun, knockback, leap/lunge attack which then consumes all the ultimate charge and cancels casting. Third it deals normal weapon damage in which case 3.8 seconds of standing around she could have hit enemies with multiple abilities in that same amount of time for more overall. Fourth if her target dies before she finishes, it will cast immediately striking other enemies (if any) in the wave range. Lastly she is basically stun locked for the duration of the cast unable to do anything else, if you have her built for healing or tanking then it is a massive detriment to herself.

There's a few text cleaning up I need to go over, but most of the information is complete. U40 added some changes not listed in the patch notes, I'm going to wait until it launches on console before adding them in to confirm they are legit and not to confuse the console players with info not yet available to them.
