  • With module 29 we got some companion updates, particularly a buff to Xuna and a pretty heavy nerf to the Shadar-kai Witch! I have retested a whole bunch of them and included the new companion Diana the Acrobat and the Dark Dealer! Keep in mind these are controlled tests so their performance can drop when not in their ideal situations! This gives a solid baseline as to what potential we can expect from them when fighting multiple targets!

    Aragon takes the time to test all companions, which should be a job for Cryptic's devs, and after each test they will see what companion needs a nerf or buff lol as always, thanks for the video.

    • @alanea5860
      @alanea5860 Před měsícem

      they know if its nerf or buff .. but with such small dev/tester team they wont put much effort into it
      becaus elets be real .. they dont care if nerf on companion prove to be 1% or 3% its insignificant

    @alanea5860 Před měsícem +2

    lets be realistic ...
    in case of DPS companions ... no one realistically needs sustained dps on 5 targets
    mos timportant factors are
    1) buff/debuff ( support role outshine any DPS companion does)
    2) flexibility between single target/aoe (most encounters require both)
    3) burst damage ( companions like xuna are great in practice because they pump out very high DMG with long CD, but most enemies die very fast and cooldown ticks out between encounters)

    Nice compilation tyvm Aragon! I prefer Regis because it gives 5% recharge bonus if you wanna go for a recharge build up which is the rage these days.

    • @alanea5860
      @alanea5860 Před měsícem +1

      recharge is uncapped but extremely weak stat simply because its place in formula and several sources causing diminishing return
      in the end its way under 1% dmg bonus ... trash compared to most buff /debuff companions

    I've said it multiple times.
    The Rimefire Golem is the best AE Companion as he cost nothing, very cheap and common.
    If you group up loads of mobs, he can one hit the entire pack.
    Companions like Regis are way too expensive for the little difference.

    Great video!! I notice you didn't test Bobby the Barbarian as he looks like he is designed for muti enemies, as well as the new Eric. I agree with you that it's too bad about the witch. Would it kill the developers to adjust the companions so they were equally useful? I love the style of some of them, but can't use them as they are too weak. It also creates this environment where everyone is trying to get the same 5 or 6 companions.

  • @SilkySmoothNews
    @SilkySmoothNews Před měsícem

    While I commend you for your patience and testing, I think the way of testing is somewhat flawed. The question should not be "how much overall dmg and how fast will this companion kill these 5 enemies" The question should be "Which companion does the most burst damage up front in X amount of time." because more often then not, each encounter during the AoE portions of a dungeon will be relatively short enough where only the initial burst dmg of the companion will matter. Most of the time everything will be dead before the companion can finish.
    So maybe test the overall Enc DPS done in a relatively short window, as to simulate the players effectively killing everything before the companion can have a chance to get through an entire rotation.

  • @gampie13

    something to point out: the ball did no dmg in your showcase, due to the mobs being in the self cc immune to dmg state. the problem is that the orb started to be cast before they entered dmg immunity. at least from what you showed. In your minotaur test, when the mobs entered dmg immunity, the minotaur just stopped attacking at all, if he started casting his aoe right before they entered dmg immunity, he would waste his entier aoe cd on immune targets, same as what the shattar-kai witch did with her orb.
    ps. also, the orb just has a WAY to long of a cast time

    • @Aragon-

      @@Aragon- then I have no idea how you make them untargetable in the showcase. In the video, whenever the mobs end up frozen solid looking up, all the companions you are testing seem to stop targeting the mobs, and deal no dmg

    Regis is bis for damage mob?

    • @alanea5860
      @alanea5860 Před měsícem +1

      regis is BIS for sustained unrealistic with all enemies grouped on tiny spot
      for real fights ... with combined ST+aoe
      Xuna as dps overall
      batiri as BIS dps for boss progress
      Wulfgar/elaina sartell/drizzt if you want both solid dps overall and helpfull buff to entire party
      if you count also "utility"
      then Diana the Acrobat with +10% movement works quite well despite lack of offensive buff or good dps
      also ... IF you are average player far ffrom BIS running random trials with random people:
      Bruenor battlehammer
      Dread Warrior
      Siege Master
      maximize your chances /clearing speed
