Companion Perks - fixed this patch?

ErianaSagewing

It's been very disappointing having our new companions but not getting the benefit of their perks when we have them active. Will they be fixed during today's patch on consoles? Looking through the natch potes for PC it doesn't look like there was a fix for them.

Any update from ZOS would be much appreciated.

Thank you

It wasn't fixed on PC, still only works with the keepsakes

I think they fixed them to be lesser intentionally and didn't have time to change the descriptions. Bastian's bonus is crap, Mirri's bonus is just better overall so they nerfed it last minute so its only available once you get her keepsake quest.

From today's Xbox Natch Potes! Looks like we are going to get those fixes after all!!!

• Companions will now run in front of your character less frequently when you come to a stop.
• Bastian and Mirri’s non-combat Perks are now active while they are active and present.
• Increased the likelihood of Companion gear to drop from non-boss enemies.
• Companions will no longer loudly mourn the deaths of group members and will only mourn the player that summoned them.
• You will no longer see quest indicators above the heads of other player’s Companions in your group when your own Companion has a quest to offer.
• Slightly increased the average frequency at which you gain rapport increases from killing enemies that Companions do not care for.
• Increased the minimum cooldown time for Companion VO, in addition to reducing the likelihood to hear the VO, when the Companion casts an ability which provides a synergy for you.
• Mirri now waits to get to know you a little better before asking again for help with her second personal quest.
• Companion combat level and class skill levels are now properly synchronized.
• Adjusted the help entry "Companions - Access" to improve clarity.
• Companions will now more consistently turn to face their opponent for their initial ability attack.

Bastian's Non Combat perk needs to be totally reworked IMHO.

It's an awful perk at the present time.

It's only the fact he's a great tank that makes him worth taking. You would never run Bastion for his perk, it's rubbish!

I kind of agree. Maybe make him give +50% or double rewards from Heavy Sacks since he likes talking about them so much. That would be MUCH more useful to me!

Why? It’s pretty decent perk, considering how expensive spell power pots are nowadays. For any dungeon his potions are way more valuable than some extra vendor trash you get from Mirri’s sack.
