So, because the devs seem to have run out of troll companion active bonuses, I am going to (with the help of
@thefabricant ) jokingly create a list of the most troll active companion bonus ideas I can think of. This is half serious, half joking. Realistic companion effects only, and as troll as possible while still sounding good to anyone who might not know all of the mechanics of the game.
All of these are at epic rank.
- Gain 1% of all your active pet's ratings
- Gain 10% more power, crit, recovery, and lifesteal of your allies within 20', they lose 5% of their power, crit, recovery, and lifesteal.
- Deal 5% more damage if you are not 1st on the paingiver chart.
- Deal 10% more damage. 5% of the damage you deal is removed from your hit points.
- Your lifesteal chance is increased by 100%. Heals from allies deal damage to you.
- Randomly every few seconds you either gain acceleration or deceleration. While affected by acceleration you gain +300% movement speed. While affected by deceleration you are slowed by 50%.
- When you are revived from near death your damage is increased by 1% for 5 minutes. Stacks up to 20 times. Stacks are lost on death.
- Deal 20% more damage, but your movement speed is cut in half. This companion effect lasts 15 minutes after being removed.
- Deal 10% more damage to enemies you are not facing.
- Deal 5% more damage while airborne.
- Deal 7% more damage. You deal 2% less damage for each nearby ally.
- Deal 40% more damage. You have a chance to receive Partial Paralysis every few seconds.
- Enemies have 20% higher chance to drop treasures when killed.
- You have a 10% chance to knock back nearby enemies when dealing damage.
- Your encounter powers have a chance to apply partial paralysis to everyone nearby.
- You emit an aura that slows everything around you by 20%
- Your encounter powers create patches of slick ice on the ground near the target. Enemies standing on icy ground have their defenses reduced by 10%. Watch your step!
- You have a chance before using an encounter power to replace it with the power of a different class for up to 5 minutes.
- The direction of your knockback effects are reversed. You emit an aura that knocks enemies towards you who are within 30 feet.
- When you take damage teleport to a random location at least 80 feet away from your attacker.
- Deal 10% increased damage for every ally within 30 feet who is dead.
- Your single-target attacks resonate, dealing 10% of the damage to everyone within 10 feet of your target.
- Deal 10% increased damage while stunned or disabled.
- Your control effects last 10% longer on bosses.
- Every time you damage an enemy gain a stack of Recklessness. Recklessness increases your damage output by 50% but reduces the speed of your attacks by 10%. Stacks up to 10 times. Expires when you leave combat.
- +800 Hit Points, +200 Power
- You deal 100% more damage while out of combat.
Any additions?

Whenever you request help while you are downed, your damage and defense are increased by 1% for 3min (stacks up to 10 times)
You deal more damage depending on how far you are from your nearest ally, 1% for each 10' away.
You and all allies within 30' lose your move speed bonus but gain an equivalent bonus to your damage, and also lose an additional 20% movement speed.
You deal 100% more damage while out of combat.
Your attacks have a 50% chance to stun your target. Your powers do zero damage to stun targets.
100% increase to critical severity damage with a 100% decrease to critical chance
For every ally next to you, you gain 5% increase in damage. For every enemy within 20' of you you lose 25% in damage.
When deflecting an attack, your next attack will deal splash damage at equal to 50% of your current HP and you suffer damage equal to the splash damage dealt.
Get 50% increase in damage at the cost of 50% of current HP, each re-occurring hit increase HP cost by 1%.
1 shot everything and anything that is not a boss. But you are also subject to the same rules
This is like the card game Munchkin...I can do this all day...LOL...
My last one. and this one can stack... LOL...
If there is a GWF in the group in the group they lose 50% of their damage and buff the group damage by 20%.
When you finish a dungeon, a random item of your chest reward is granted to your Guild Leader instead of you.

After entering combat, you have a random chance to replace any one of your class features with the class feature of a different class. Duration of the swap is 5 minutes.
Paladin Feat: Oath of the Generous
Description: Your god instills divine strength in you as a reward for helping those in need in their desperate hour.
(Translation: Your damage is increased by 50%, but any items or rewards picked up in dungeons/raids/skirmishes are randomly distributed to other party members. Only works inside dungeons/raids/skirmishes.)
"Every time you deal damage equal to or greater than 100% of your maximum hitpoints in a single attack you gain a stack of egotism.
At ten stacks you explode, dealing 100,000 damage to everything within a 25ft radius, including other players."
Butterfingers:
"While dealing damage you have an equal chance of either gaining a 10% damage buff for 10 seconds, or dropping your equipped weapon on the floor. This effect can only trigger once every 20 seconds."
Meddling kids:
"Your attacks upon bosses have a small chance of summoning a random scooby-doo character who will unmask the boss, revealing it to be old man Jenkins.
The boss is automatically defeated, but any drops are immediately donated to a random character situated in Protecters enclave."
Stealthy Streaker : TR class feature.
"Unequipping all armor gives you a 250% movement bonus, 500% while stealthed.
Offhand feat, Stealthy Streaker now plays the chase theme from the Benny Hill show while active. "
Gwfs gotta Gwf: Gwf class feature.
"While running ahead of the DC and/or other support characters in a dungeon, you have a chance, dependent upon distance, of either gaining a 25% damage and defence bonus, or of attaining light speed, and becoming embedded in a nearby wall.
Offhand feat: Attaining light speed now also grants you temporary black hole status, causing any mobs you pass to be dragged into your wake, and also becomming embedded in the walls around you in the shape of a giant HAMSTER."
Wait....
Ravenskya - TR / Krisha Chaos - OP / Waffles - GF / Dex Domitor - HR
Becky the trendy GWF - GWF / Too Toasty - SW / Falcor - DC / Morrigan - CW / Sir Didymus - OP
Bowman's Helper - Stands next to Archery HRs and tells them what buffs they are missing out on by standing in the next room
Mommy's Favorite - Reminds all party members to slow down a little so the SW's DoTs have time to tick
New belt-slot item - Consuela's Empty Windex Bottle - Transforms your Sellsword's Greatsword into a Vacuum Cleaner... Still does negligible damage in a fight by bumping into enemy's feet but now picks up loot
Armor of Max DPS: You are a true glass cannon in all sense. This armor reduces all defense stats (including HP) to zero and convert all of those into a damage multiplier. Equipping this armor will result in instant and non-reviving death. "You know without me you cannot top the Paingiver charts, so stop thinking about it and put me on"
Power Glove: Looks like Nintendo Power Glove from the 80's and when equipped the character is able to Summon nintendo character to fight at his or her side.
Meatloaf (the singer) - this companion sings "I will do anything for love but I won't do that" and when he sings enemies within hearing distance have their defense reduce by 10% and player damage is reduced by 10%.
copyright issues aside, that is a LOT of characters for the devs to code in... I doubt they'd have the time, considering their busy work schedule as mandated by Hasbro.
Cleveland Browns: Summons a Cleveland Brown QB's to throw footballs at your enemies. If one hits (and that is a big if) it instantly kills your target and you are awarded a Legendary Mount of your choice. The problem is the QB ability to hit a target has a lower odd than you pulling a legendary mount out of a LB. When there is more than 4 enemies within 10', this companion dies.
Bengals Tiger: Summons a Bengals tiger and like Bengals Football team the this companion tends to bungle. Every 10 seconds the companion will cause a knockdown effect to nearby allies; this increase enemies damage by 10%.
Steel Curtain: This companion will pounce and attack your enemies. Because this companion plays dirty, he will hit on occasion hit an ally for 250% of your weapon damage.
Dirty Birds: Does the same thing as Steel Curtain
Patriots: This companion is known for his ability to get results done, he provides his owner 10% damage increase; however, he is caught 25% of the time and to get free he will attack his owner if needed. When caught, the owner takes 250% of their weapon damage.
Buffalo: This companion look intimidating and provides an increase in threat to its owner 10%. However, after 5 seconds in battle enemies realize there is no threat and quickly seek alternative targets.
The 49er: This companion will help you do, well nothing. He looks good though.
CW Steal Time Encounter: When in Mastery and when you have 5 arcane stack you freeze everyone except yourself for 10 seconds where you get to attack enemies freely.
TR Stealth: When in stealth TR instant kill low level mobs and do 5x the damage enemies that are not instantly killed. (this does not work in PVP)
GF: Marked targets that are hit by GWF count towards GF damage on the paingiver.
GF ITF Encounter: only buffs the GF now
Terrifying Insight: Damage buff is now only for DC and is 40%.
All buffs in the game now are self buffs and no longer group buffs.
Active bonus: If you are a Trickster Rogue you have 10% higher chance of getting invited to a queue group.
Companion: Rogue Wannabe
Active bonus: If you are not a Trickster Rogue and there's one in your party you have a 5% chance of getting your damage reduced by 50% when dealing dmg so that he can catch up to your dps in the paingiver.

This is the most hilarious post I have seen in a while! Great all around thread too. Good stuff!
Born of Black Wind: SW Level 80
This companion can only be purchased through the Zen store and never goes on sale. It is always epic and priced as an epic companion.
That might be too useful

> * Deal 10% more damage. 5% of the damage you deal is dealt back to you.
That would make instigator viable

It's been a while I hope to get some self-damaging power to make Instigator viable. But hell it would require an expensive build. Unfortunately the last feats don't allow Instigator to be in par with Destroyer even with full stacks, but it would be fun. I mean, since Flaming jams on GWF and Instigator doesn't require to use Unstoppable, I would give a try at some funny Wrathful Determination with IBS/DS/HD Flaming build. I believe it would deal quite a lot of damages, not on par with Destroyer tho.
