Bobs_YourUncle Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 That's right, their boost of the nerf of the boosted 4.0 companions is a slap in the face of the final nail in the coffin. Seriously though, how are the companions now? I'm stuck at work and can't wait to check it out for myself.
flamingdead Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 with level 13 Kira, she is healing quite well now heck even a level 3 Nico is doing well enough. and his is with a level 30 guardian
Kianabamin Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) Better I think. Yesterday on a new toon I'm leveling I was having a hard time with a H2. It was doable but I died a couple times trying to complete it. Today, different new toon, same H2, still tough but not as tough and I didn't die once. They're not the GODS that they were, but still pretty powerful. I haven't tried on a higher level character though. Edited November 24, 2015 by Kianabamin

-Waste- Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 OP again..Azshara in dps mode went from 3500 to 4100 in damage , hade time to make tea
Velgar Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 better than they were, an improvement over 4.0.2

No 21k but that 21k stuff was retarded in the first place
annabethchase Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 with level 13 Kira, she is healing quite well now heck even a level 3 Nico is doing well enough. and his is with a level 30 guardian your level 13 Kira should be amazing at level 30. Nobody was gearing up companions like that in 1.0 or 2.0 only late in the 3.0 cycle were people that overwhelmed in comms that level 30 companions were well geared. A rank 13 that early on is well geared.
Quraswren Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 better than they were, an improvement over 4.0.2 Agreed. Any buffs would be better than 4.0.2 as that patch did nothing but harm this game. This is a good start. I know they said it's coming in the next patch but now they need to fix tanking companions.

A rank 13 that early on is well geared. what i meant was her influence level is 13, and im at 30...and since gear is useless the buffs they did are pretty good cmpared to 4.0.2
PulseRazor Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) It feels exactly the same as it did at 4.0, enjoy. Just facerolled Heroic Tatooine Star Fortress totally disregarding any of the mechanics, and I used my weakest defensive cooldown twice the whole run. Edited November 24, 2015 by PulseRazor
Legolose Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 OP again..Azshara in dps mode went from 3500 to 4100 in damage , hade time to make teaOMG!!! REALLY you guys are going to cry any thing they added is OP Jesus!!!
Dostulata Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Well, Companions should never perform better than real players, and I doubt the majority of the playerbase can deal more damage than my ilvl 50 Companions =) Got 4,1k DPS on the fleet Dummy as well.
Frenesi Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Agreed. Any buffs would be better than 4.0.2 as that patch did nothing but harm this game. This is a good start. I know they said it's coming in the next patch but now they need to fix tanking companions. Tanks were doing surprisingly well even post-nerf, at least in downscaled enviroment. They keep attention of the enemy and take some serious time to go down. More then enough to cut down *********** before tank reaches 50%
DawnAskham Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Well, Companions should never perform better than real players, and I doubt the majority of the playerbase can deal more damage than my ilvl 50 Companions =) Got 4,1k DPS on the fleet Dummy as well. Anyone who can't hit 4.1K DPS on a level 65 character with a damage discipline is either naked or very very very bad.
Dostulata Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Anyone who can't hit 4.1K DPS on a level 65 character with a damage discipline is either naked or very very very bad. Yeah........ those would be the players who cried about not being able to do solo content without OP Companions.

Yep those companion are Op oh wait this chart show character parse data with ae toons doing up 7k dps hmm that cant be right i thought comps were beating us in dps..... https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CaeVzBuHvb4yVsAVQuIhTU-lH0QuQ4GPhUIM0x0Qj1o/edit#gid=145374339&vpid=A1 Edited November 24, 2015 by Neoforcer
NeuroticCupcake Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 heck even a level 3 Nico is doing well enough. and his is with a level 30 guardian You do realize that anything below 65 is absolutely trivial and complaining/"observing" things about how effective companions are at those levels is... well, pointless.
Arlon_Nabarlly Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 It certainly was for me and I'm sure many others.

Which is that all those Idiots crying after the 4.0.2. Nerf will probably perform worse than my companions doing 4,1k and therefore Companions are OP =)
Jeronas Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) Anyone who can't hit 4.1K DPS on a level 65 character with a damage discipline is either naked or very very very bad. LOL yeah! My Jedi Guardian in tank spec and tank gear was out DPS'ing my companions in 4.0.2 by almostr 50% Since they only increased DPS by 15% in this patch, it pretty much means companion DPS is still really low and way below true DPS classes. Bit disappointing really. More importantly will be though, if they actually fixed the Rank system and that Rank 50 companions are actually noticeable better than a Rank 10, to justify the insane cost and effort! Also, did they finally fix the exploit with the main hand weapon?` Edited November 24, 2015 by Jeronas

Nerf will probably perform worse than my companions doing 4,1k and therefore Companions are OP =) So your argument is that a max influence companion should be worse than the WORST player in the game or else they are OP? So, in other words, companions need to be worthless or they are OP? Edited November 24, 2015 by Trobon
Kiesu Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Yea we get it another doomsday thread. You can come out of your bunkers people, its another false alarm.
