My two favorites are Drow Mercenary and Shadow Demon. Mec is probably better for bonding, but having a Shadow Demon as a pet that DPS's like another 2KIL player is just sooooo cool.
Mercenary should be better for offensive stats and faster proc, but not easy to obtain.
Shadow Demon can't benefit of 2x offensive slots from Adorables pieces.
For players who don't have more than 1.5M for their summoned pet, Goat is a good option : for 500k you have an equiped pet who give you 119% of his stats, something like +3000 in Power and crit.
500k is just the cost for upgrade a blue pet to Epic.
Bondings could be better if they give you more than 119%, so, need atleast 1xR9 + 2xR8, so, atleast 600k just for Bondings.
Now, if you don't have to limit your budget...
2Stats enchants are fixed on pets or still bugged ?
Edit : my link was censured, and i understand why. But if someone want to compare pets vs augments, there is a character ratings tool, on a certain forum, with a public character list, just check "Augments vs Bondings" in the public list.
For 500k, a Goat can give you +3000/+3000, but if you have 12-15M, Bondings can give you +15000/+15000.
I have heard the Shadow Demon is considered the "best" companion for DPS
Nop...in my opinion lightfoot and zhentarim warlock are better. Both give you a bit faster the gifts. Shadowdemon can only deal a lot damage in a CN run if the grp isnt strong enough and takes a while to kill trash/bosses. But shadowdemon is not so expansive as warlock/thief.
Where are you picking up the Shadow Demon for less than a Zhentarim Warlock ? Current AH prices are: Shadow Demon (Green) = 698-800k AD, Zhentarim Warlock (Blue) = 335-450k (plus a few optimists asking 1.3-2.0 Million ). No argument over the cost of the Litefoot Thief at 1.6 Million and upwards of course.
Personally, I'm happy with the Sylph I have on my CW and Zhentarim on my HR. I would have the Sylph on both but I prefer a bit of variety. Both perform equally well but the Sylph is cuter and more entertaining to have around. The Zentarim is great to watch in a fight expecially once she starts hitting things with that green eldritch fire. Between fights she is pretty dull just standing around wagging her tail. Both could have a Drow Mercenary but he isn't even interesting to watch in a fight, so he is left in the idle zone. Oh, and I'm currently leveling a SW and she has a Wayward Wizard as her summoned companion. Variety is the spice of life and in NWO it is what keeps the game interesting to play. My SW is at lvl 52 and hasn't died once so far, so she hasn't lodged a complaint about the companion she had been given >:)
When I am the mood for more variety, my HR has a Cat augment who is slightly more entertaining than a blue stone revolving around my head. I have a Doohickey to fulfill that role
blinkdog>zenlock btw and costs 30k AD he procs two bondings right from the start, pretty fast even faster than my zenlock he can tank orcus at green level ..ok dying a lot, but Orcus stares at him till he stands up again and doesn´t care about you at all if you like your caster can solo that boss with this green pet....endcontent done by a green companion lol cryptic
if you like your caster can solo that boss with this green pet....endcontent done by a green companion lol cryptic
CN can be done without any meeles/tanks/heal...thats real "endcontent". GZ crptic for endbosses they dont even move a inch and you can do this boss easy as hell as a caster! First class programmed...really.
I use an old renegade evoker I had knocking around the bank from mod3. Just as fast as anhthing else out there, and the active is decentish. Lol, yesterday in ToB at one point I had 50k power and 70%crit.
For a GF, the portal hound is absolutely amazing for companion proc, with my ITF buff with R12,11,10 bonding stones I've buffed myself and party over 2 fold.
