Companions at 9-10k DPS

I fully expected 2-4k
I often play on vet with low DPS DD's who're at that range...
for Normal they will be top tier honestly. That's a lvl XX player for normal easily.
In overland they'll melt things honestly.
So Companions will NOT be useless next patch.
In terms of mechs they.. well they don't understand them, so don't go into a DLC dungeon expecting miracles.
For gear they'll use Companion gear - not player gear.

✭✭✭10k seems reasonable, I didn't expect them to be relevant in vet content, but it's enough to allow players to solo/duo normal content with ease.12 -

No problem, I have a bucket in the rough shape of a head that I carry around with me for just those sorts of occasions.23 -
Grandchamp1989✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭Wonder if fake tanks will be a thing next patch.
Companion Tanks will have access to Taunts, Blood Alter, Group shields, Chains and healing.
Probably gonna get kicked and someone pulls their companion tank out..Edited by Grandchamp1989 on April 15, 2021 6:43PM4 -

✭✭✭✭So can I use this to AFK farm a boss in a public dungeon for an item set.
Literally the only use I'd have for these things.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭Companions at 10k means they are better than 90% of the players I see in random dungeons. I'm not even kidding.11 -

Just a traveling pet at this point.
wait... hang on.... you mean you can NOT take them into DLC dungeons? i don't care if they are not usable in Vet, I just want to use them to solo DLC dungeons for story and 10k was pretty much what I was hoping for though didn't dare to expect.
so if they cannot go into DLC dungeons, then yes. they are pointless. but is this genuinely confirmed? (sorry can't watch the vid at the moment)dirty worthless casual.

They are not intelligent (as in will not obey the mechanics) and do not provide enough damage to really bother with in veteran content.
Im sure you can take them into normals and vets, but they're not going to block Zaan's beam for you.3 -

Just as I said. DLC dungeons will be always locked for solo players, whose only reason to do DLC dungeons is the lore.

I don't need them to be super intelligent, I just need them to provide a cushion for me and a bit of extra damage. I would HOPE that they would at least break you out from something like FG2 chains (I don't mind directing them manually at specific mobs)
the post I was replying to, for me at least made it sound like I cannot summon them in DLC or Vet content.dirty worthless casual.

Useful and usable may be interchangable there. You can walk into FG2 solo now, so doing it again with a companion shouldnt pose an issue.Edited by Agenericname on April 15, 2021 8:12PM0 -
Jacozilla✭✭✭✭✭Lot of the posters here are assuming companions will stay at 10k.
Highly doubt it. Either will be significantly nerfed as PTS progresses due to outcry it is too much dps, or like thrassian stranglers - will be launched as is to sell expansion, then later nerfed.

but these words are NOT interchangeable. clarity is important. something being useful is subjective. something being usable - is not. which is why I replied to that post. if they are summonable - then they are useful to me. they may not be useful for someone else, but they are useful to me. as LONG as they are summonable, aka usable.

Welven✭✭✭I'll probably only be interested in them if they can tank a reasonable amount of damage.2 -

✭✭✭✭✭I'll probably mainly use them to apply buffs and debuffs while focusing on gear that increases buff/debuff duration and reduces their ability cooldown.

✭✭10k seems ok if they prioritize targets, block when needed and stand out of red. But they don't. So expect them to be knocked around and fight single scramp in the corner. 10k is not gonna help you this way. And in vet content they will just get killed alot. Dead dps = 0 dps1 -

Awesome, that's all I need to solo most vet dungeons....Formally SirDopey, lost forum account during the great reset.....0 -
Sarannah✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭Well, 10k is terribly low. Seems too low to actually have them be useful, for non-dps players. We need dual spec!!1 -
MudcrabAttack✭✭✭✭✭But how optimized is that 10k? Have all the possible companion builds been theory crafted to arrive at that number? Usually the first numbers in from a pts aren't very accurate.3
