As you can imagine, I wanna know how is this companion for a Melee Class, especially for a Tanky GF, if it have ICD or what's the duration of the attack debuff, I ask because I find that's pretty good, but some of them are below 400K in AH, while others companions (for me) less usefull are more expensive.

Does it have any bad aspect I don't know?

    Kinda meh for PVE because it doesn't last long and monsters attack slowly, but a player rapidly attacking you will quickly get that full 15% debuff.

    -15%, pretty significant.

    Mmmm, in that case maybe a Honey Badger could be better...

    In average Rust monster would be applying -5% debuff to attack in the person/npc that attacks me each 4 hits and this would work at any time no matter how much HP I have and it should not only help me, but to another person they hit, while Honey Badger could be a 100% sure decrease in the incoming damage I recieve by 10% when my HP is below 35%, in OPvP if I'm below 35% of my HP it's likely the other person would have 5%/15% Damage Debuff by a Rust Monster so here I don't see any difference, in the other hand Honey Badge could be great to not die in PvE and PvP, but I can see Rust Monster working very good in VT/MC, Fulminorax and Valindra (like a lot of other bosses) would be doing -10% or -15% Damage by sure and in PvE it's not common for me to die too much, so for me Rust Monster would be helping very little in common PvE but working good in Bosses/OPvP and not only for me, while Honey Badger could be very Usefull at PvP/PvE, but only if your HP is below 35% and just for me. For what I see, I would still choose Rust Monster.

    Any1 have other opinion?.

    Could you imagine a GF's or an ordinary GWF's pain to deal with a HR with the rust monster, badger, pig bonuses, all the while using oak skin, lone wolf, and 1k+ regen.
