He attacked the daedroth who moved into range and launched a fireball. It hit Bastian knocking him back, but as soon as he got up, he moved into the ring of stupid and started to burn. A bit later, the daedroth sent another fireball, Bastian gets up and walks back into the ring of stupid and starts burning. This time it took him below 50%, so he dodge-rolled backwards, a few seconds later he walks back into the ring of stupid and starts burning again.
It befuddled me how the Devs were originally like "Companions will benefit players who don't want to group up to try out group content" when Companions can't even manage one of the first skills that most players learn in group content: don't stand in stupid.
It's like ZOS literally designed that one damage dealer who insists that it would hurt their DPS if they move out of the fire and whines at the healer when they die.
Another great example of ZOS horrible coding practices. Companions should obviously have stam/mag to draw from, allow them to dodge roll big attacks as long as they have the stam to do so.
Yes, I've noticed this for quite some time, but some people didn't believe me. Those damned mobs run away from my AoEs making them less useful.phaneub17_ESO wrote: »Even Delve bosses have the common sense to just walk out of a player's ultimate AOE circle.

I would so love to be able to position my companion.I am afraid ZOS will never implement companion positioning and movement correctly.
Not based on my testing. Please note that I was not doing intense fights, but it seemed like the roll-dodge was on a cool-down.validifyedneb18_ESO wrote: »Companions will now burn both their rolls right at the opening of a fight, then not be able to roll anymore.

The trial is pretty good, and the zone seems cool. I’m just pretending companions don’t exist at this point
