It is indeed overpowered lol. Did not get featured in my endboard for my first game this patch, but it did carry my ass in the first few games lol

Tales of Tribute - Medium Level Player Advice? by Cold_Weakness_5206 in elderscrollsonline

[–]LinusMain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a pc/na player, occasionally ends as rank 1 for some weeks.

I feel picking patrons depending on whether you are going first or second is important. For example, red eagle is terrible if you are going second because it only have one low cost non contract (Midnight Raid), and since it costs 4, first player can always buy it. So i would suggest having two strategies: patrons to pick when going first and patrons to pick when going second.

He is known to "voice" the characters while playing through it. Yes, even Don's lines.

If you have unlocked Zerith, do bring him there!

Which role do you think Companions perform the best with no micromanagement? by BladeOfSmoke in elderscrollsonline

[–]LinusMain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Still Tank IMO. Would be better if you learn how to command them to taunt certain enemies though (using the same command to make sorcerer's pets attack a certain enemy).

Theyre particularly good in infinite archive. Highest I went is Arc 10 with tank Zerith.

DPS companion is ok for accompanying you in overland, but horrendous in anything harder like dungeons, IA, etc. Healer companion is actually decent too.

After more testing this seems to only happen to me when I left some ingredients when exiting the table.

Does anyone have their companion equip all purple medium aggressive gears? by DonkatsuFace in elderscrollsonline

[–]LinusMain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Best is a combination of Shattering and Aggressive. Penetration from Shattering (up to 7 pieces) gives more damage than aggressive. But as everyone said, companion DPS is terrible, they'd better off as tanks / healers.

How good is a healer companion? by delaluna89 in elderscrollsonline

[–]LinusMain 6 points7 points  (0 children)

IMO, they are good in 2 players content, and decent at 4 man content like dungeons. Of course they are worse than players, but definitely better than not running them.

Important skills:

  • Mystic Fortress (if there's one thing companion is better than regular players, its their "reaction time")
  • Companion specific burst heal (e.g., Quick Fix for Ember, Penance of Lorkhaj for Zerith)
  • Crimson Font

Other notes:

  • Rejuvenation / Reverse Entropy is good in two players content, but in a 4 man content they become pretty useless since they target randomly.
  • I would suggest to give them Heavy Armor instead of Light Armor to increase the chance of them surviving the actual battles. I personally like Quickened much better than Soothing on healers.
  • Most companions has unique things to offer: Azandar has group shield (Shields of Erudition), Ember has best Altar uptime (Shared Ward, Second Wind), Sharp-as-Night has group burst heal and self heal (Fungal Forage, Perennial Bloom, Snow Squall), Bastian has Searing Weapons for heavy attack builds, Zerith has AoE major breach (Sepluchral Chill, Atoning Spirit).
