Does the Legendary bonus stack?

in General Discussion (Xbox One)
I know you'll only get bonus stats from your summoned companion but if all your companion are legendary would the 15% from all of the stack?

    You can only have 1 companion summoned. the other 4 are active slots and no, you wont get the bonus if its not summoned.

    You're not getting what I'm asking
    You get a 15% stat bonus from your summoned companion as long as one of your active companions is legendary
    What I'm asking is if all 5 of your companions are legendary will their 15% bonuses stack

    Kuero21 is 100% correct. You will only get the 15% stat bonus from your "SUMMONED" companion, regardless of how many legendary companions you have. You even said it in your opening statement MRIMSOGOOD that you know you only get stat bonuses from your "SUMMONED" companion. The only thing you get from the other 4 companions is their active bonus

    I'm asking if the the legendary bonus stacks onto the summoned pet or if you'll only receive one bonus

    You can only have ONE companion summoned. It MUST be the SUMMONED companion that is legendary.

    Example: If you have a legendary renegade in one of the companion slots but you have a ioun stone summoned the stone will NOT get the 15% bonus.

    OMG!!! Do you people have a reading comprehension problem or something?
    A legendary companion gives a15% bonus to whichever summoned companion you have as long as the legendary is a active companion
    What I'm asking is if the 15% bonus you get from a active legendary companion, would it stack with another active legendary companion to give 30% to whichever companion you have summoned
  • pr3stigexpr3stigex Member Posts: 419 Arc User
    LOL, I think you have some serious comprehension issues.
    Here it is from the tool tip.

    Legendary Bonuses are a feature introduced in Module 6: Elemental Evil. A Legendary Companion provides 15% of its ratings to its owner if summoned.

    That's where you are getting hung up, this sentence is FALSE.

    Maybe it was changed or applies differently to Owlbear cubs but I get the bonus from it even though it's not summoned

    LOL. No, the legendary bonus will not stack. Having 2 legendary companions not give you 30%.

    The mechanic seems to be broken, I just tested it and as the OP stated you will also get your legendary bonus if the companion is not summoned. Its not supposed to be like that, though.

    Is this occurring with legendaries only?

    Can you explain more about your test, are you saying you are getting the 15% from a legendary companion even when it is not summoned, and is another companion summoned at the time. I feel like the stats could stay (or at least the display of the stats) as long as the legendary was the last summoned companion...I am never sure if what is displayed on the character sheet is always accurate, I often see some of my displayed ability scores change for no apparent reason (maybe this was a previously reported issue, I have not researched).

    Testing on Xbox is near to impossible. However, I tried a little "routine" in WoD where I wipe a big group of mobs and now I did faster (the diff is noticeable). I will test by making all companions but summoned idle and let you know.

    Yes, the discussion is only about the legendaries.

    Well, it was just a simple one. I swapped my summoned legendary ioun stone for an epic companion, although my ioun stone was not summoned I still received the legendary buff (displayed in the buff bar).

    The Active Legendary pet gives you 15 percent of ANY summoned pets stats. It has been tested and is WAI. Boar pet works similar, gives summoned pet 50 percent crit sev, so having boar active and Shadow Demon summoned is all kinds of OP.

    As far as I know its supposed to be like Prestige already said: Legendary Bonuses are a feature introduced in Module 6: Elemental Evil. A Legendary Companion provides 15% of its ratings to its owner if summoned.

    Seems to be occurring with non-legendaries as well. I'll do some further testing later.

    When you upgrade a Companion to Legendary they get a new Active Bonus which is 15% of your summoned Companions stats.

    Does not matter which Companion you summon as long as that Legendary Companion is in an Active slot.

    Simple way to put it is only level your active companion to legendary, no point of wasting your time with the others.

    Makes sense...
    I guess Neverwinter Wikia could have found a better description.
