sybran Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 I didn't find any other topics on this after searching so I'll just ask. I haven't played a ton since the new patch, but my companions do seem less versatile, to the extent that I have the best time just setting them as healer so they can top me off between fights and reduce the time spent resting. Anyway, this isn't that type of post. So 4.0 allowed us to use any companion we wanted in any role. This was fun because I got to use companions that I normally wouldn't have touched. When I would get a new companion, even with a lower influence level I could expect them to at least keep up and be useful. With the new patch, it seems like using anything other than your highest influence companion, usually your first one, would severely gimp you now. Doesn't that kind of take away our choice of using the companion we want? I understand that influence had an impact before the new patch, but now it seems like it's absolutely necessary to have a high influence to be effective.
