WB, Enemy Drops and ....

kriegernight

There are Champion points for better loot while pick pocketing, looting chests, gaining gold and even fishing. There is also boons with companions. But nothing to increase the possibility of getting better items from enemies, world bosses, dolmens, delves etc. Can we get some kind of boon for better drop rates like some sort of gear that gives better changes to get better items from enemies. a potion, or a companion even. You see RNG all the time in these forums. I would think if you had a some kind of gear (lets say Trophy Hunter gear" it would increase your chances of getting something you don't have and or better items from enemy drops. or a drink (lets call it "blood of the hunted") would reduce the damage required in order for a boss to provide a drop which would help also during events and festivals. heck since the ale, pie, flute and cake no longer give XP maybe even change them for better event drops. anyway, i know i added specifics but i do get frustrated since grinding isn't its boring and often makes me walk away from the game a lot. Crafting has no real value anymore seeing that everything is basically the same. drops for "The best gear" can only be done in certain dungeons which is not everyone's reason for playing and companions as much as they help a little are still not strong enough to complete game aspects on your own

I'm returning after a very long absence and just starting to use companions but they seem quite strong to me.

I've been levelling new arcanists on Deshaan Dolmens and everyone hits up the nearby boss on the middle one.

Even with quite a lot of other players, my Mirri in a mix of purple and blue gear - light armour and frost staff - consistently does so damage that she nearly always draws and keeps aggro.

Me? Only rarely and then not for very long.

Her health bottoms out but she's only actually died once. I have a few heals slotted on her. I've also bought 2 pieces of heavy armour to make her slightly tankier but haven't tried them yet.

To see if it's any good I've been using the crafted Telvanni Efficiency set whose 5 set bonus reduces companion ability cooldowns by 50%. You only need 3 traits researched for it. Very accessible.

Thank you for the insight on Companions. but this actually has nothing to do with companions it has to do with grinding and drop rates.

the only thing worthwhile from majority of WBs is the set gear, which is already a guaranteed + curated drop, not really sure how you could buff that

I tell you that my companion outdamages not only me but most other players on world bosses, and you say that has nothing to do with companions.

And I told you know how you can do it too.

If according to you that has nothing to do with companions, then no-one can help you.

And I said not a single thing about drop rates or grinding so, happy trolling?

I think they are telling you that their post wasn't about companions, it was about a better loot table for killing bosses etc using CP or some other kind of buff
