Slyblade Kobold? Other companions?

soonergm

anyone have/like this companion? nice that it increases damages to rooted targets, but it's only 3%. not super terrible but the companion is pricey when compared to some archons which will give similar % of damage increase. then again there doesn't seem like a lot of companions that are nice for a trapper. right now i'm aiming for this:

augment of choice(preferably cat)
air archon
fire archon
slyblade kobold
healer(nice to have sometimes)

anything better out there?

Here are mine

Blue Cat heavily personalized
Purple Fire Archon -7% extra damage against targets under 50% health
Purple Air Archon - 5% extra damage against targets not at full health
Blue Brainball thing - 3% Combat Advantage
Blue Erinyes - 5% Crit Severity

Gathering dust in my bag now are the Kobold (he is decent), a Blue Pig, Travelling Entertainer, Wererat Thief, Guard Archer, Mercenary, Stone of Allure, Panther and a Cantankerous Mage.

Might switch Cocktrise back for drake though

Legendary: merc
epic: siege engine, air, blink dog, Erinyes of Belial....

update: removed fire archon, replaced with siege engine...

Another thing, you don't need your primary companion to be legendary, just one of them needs to be. I highly suggest making the siege engine legendary since you are most likely to keep that...the merc may become less effective when they roll out the new bonding stone changes (where all 3 proc at once and max at 3). The merc is still great for stats though, but there might be better ones (Shadow Demon hits for 150k easily)...I've wasted a ton of AD on legendaries when I could ahve avoided it all and simply made the air or belial legendary...oh well, live and learn from my mistakes

This thread is very old lol, mine at the moment are :
Merc at Legendary and summoned
Owlbear Cub 50% of power as damage on a non-crit
Blink Dog 5% extra Combat Advantage
Air Archon 5% extra damage
Bear Cub chance of 75% extra Life Steal and 25% Life Steal severity for 6 seconds when struck

Sitting in my bag though I have some decent ones too, sometimes I switch out some. I have another 28 Blue, Green and Purple Companions sitting idle

PVE Air, Fire Archons, Blink Dog, Int Devourer, and Merc. Considering the owl bear cub.

So at this time I should ditch my augment and use an attack companion with bonding stones? Just got back after a long time and need to adapt

Thx for input

Yeah, Auggies had their time.

I have Legenday Merc and Air and Epic Fire, Earth, Erinyes of Belial

Considering a Blink Dog and OwlBear Cub.

Out of curiosity does anyone know if The Slyblade gets increased damage from everyone hitting or just you? Because the way it reads seems simliar to a lantern.
