Companions?

I need advice to find out what the best companions are for a DC Debuff/DPS?
Invoked I use Shadown Demon

As far as actual de/buffs for a summoned companion, con artist and sell sword give a 10% debuff in an AoE and (providing they live) has 100% uptime after it's applied.

Harper bard has a de/buff for 100% uptime, with the benefit of being ranged. The debuffs is for 7% at epic. And the buff is 600 to the mentioned stats. Drawback is that the debuff is single target.

Rust monster also has 100% uptime on its debuff.

Ambush drake has a 20% debuff, but I don't have this one for testing, so I'm not sure if it is a defense shred for 20% increased damage or 2% increased damage like terror.

I've also been unable to test the repentant dragon cultist.

yeah, really depends on your role. Shadow demon is still king for dps (accounts for 40% of my dps).

Tank like yeti can be good at lower ilvls for managing agro. The lion can also serve this role but I'm not sure about its ability to hold agro compared to yeti (ive seen others use it and I don't think its as good in that department) but it provides a dps boost also with is active bonus.

If your focus is on increasing party damage then sellsword/conartist for the debuff

If your focus is to debuff incoming damage then rust monster/harper bard

Having looked at ambush drake or repentant dragon cultist either.

I also use the crit companions since crits increase dps (although they aren't the highest dps options) and can positively impact heals potency for when you need it.
