While he is BIS for personal dps, I switched to con artist as active companion. 3 ring slots and the debuff, no significant personal dps boost and a defense slot, but I have heard enough players complaining about his (tiger) slow attack rate and been in enough runs, where a hoard of tigers hinder the party and the NPCs.
I find that the main problem with the tiger is that it doesnt seen to stay alive for more than 10-15 seconds in end game content and loves to dive of the platform in codg. I'm looking to replace it, I've never had such a squishy companion before.
