Companions are hilarious!
Also they might be needing a buff before it goes live. haha
Max level Bastion specd for tank with full on Vigorous heavy armor gear (40k max health) sword & shield all maxed out lvl 20 Bastion in all skills.
I equipped him with 2 taunts, self heal and chains so he can hold back many of the horrors of Tamriel.
Off we went!
Fungal Grotto 1 normal:
Bastion went to the nearest goblin and faitfully held back a single goblin so I could deal with the other 5. That's when I saw true potential.
I learned that you can control Bastion like the pets by telling him which target to go for.. I was ready.
First boss - Taskmaster - Fungal 1 Normal
I told my faithful companion to go hold back the Taskmaster!
Unfortunately.... he got stuck in a rock on the ground. After we got him out of there he put up a brave fight, he only died twice to the first boss.
Got out of fungal grotto and went to the nearest world boss in Stonefalls..
I once again told my brave companion to tank the world boss. The world boss did 3 fire whips within the span of 3-4 seconds and down went Bastion for another nap.
On a good note - it seems he enjoys when you pick up ressources. That's nice!
But I don't think these guys will replace much of anyone as it is right now haha
*Disclaimer this is just released in PTS and many improvements can happen still, and likely will - just found my first impression hilarious*
