So this looks like it might be a viable BIS active companion. Thoughts?

Well, even if the debuff isn't good, it still might be very very good because of the dmg buff, slots etc..

If it stacks, then we worry about uptime.
If it doesn't, we have a massive epeen fight on our hands on "who gets to use the Tiger".
And until we get to play around with the companion, we can't even be sure the debuff stacks.

Thanks to @dungra34 for helping me test the debuff stacking.
From what I noticed while testing it, it doesn't really like to place debuffs on multiple targets.
The uptime seems to be pretty much 100% on a single target, as long as I sat near the Tiger with Aspect of the Pack slotted.
However, its run speed is rather slow and could be an issue with proccing Bondings/placing the debuff on mobs. it seems to match a Dancing Shield in terms of movement speed.
Also, while we're on the subject, the active bonus works correctly.
You can constantly refresh the damage buff by going in and out of combat.
I can directly show you the damage buff part working (which is what everyone cares about, anyways).
First hit was without the comp, the second and third hits were with the comp equipped. Ignore the second due to it critting.
994.9/947.6 = 1.0499155...
So, the damage buff is working correctly and is correctly 5% (1.05x damage multiplier).

The two classes that I know off hand that would provide groups with almost constant Combat Advantage to ensure the 10% buff from the companion are HR using Aspect of the Pack and CW with Nightmare Wizardry or ST on Mastery. This would ensure group get the 10% damage buff.
When in groups without those classes, the companion buff will be less effective.
I didn't see anything on it stacking or not. Has anyone tested to see if having two in a group will stack the damage buff?
I can see new meta groups coming out of this if this companion stats.
OP Tank
2 DCs
CW MoF Buffer or HR
Whatever DPS or GF DPS here
The pack also includes one of the new Mainhands. Offhand comes with the key bundle. From what I recall, the set bonus is meh.
Soooooooo here~ ^-^
Equal Gear/Slot as an Air Archon, pretty much a complete upgrade for those rocking it as a Active.
3x Offensive puts it on equal terms with Sell Sword, but helps it overcome the Con Artist
As of next module the Con Artist will likely beat the Sell Sword due to the New rings, but lose compared to the Tiger for Dps's since the 1x Defense slot, kinda ruins Con Artist for many of us. :P
It's 5% Dmg/Movement lasts as intented(25 sec), and doesn't refresh until you leave and re-enter combat, and has no cooldown timer between this process. So if you kill bosses quick enough you'll always have this bonus c:
Other bonus provides currency, blah, blah, blah simply tell you it'll be in the Zen Store. -w-
Levels with Power/Critical/Armor Penetration
It's 10% dmg increase, is simple have combat Advantage and it'll be up 100% of the time. ^-^ Which isn't hard and never has been, GF's and GWF's do it all the time. c:
The ability is more for single target, not really good for AoE ^-^
The companion is actually oddly slow for a tiger, but it may be a bug, or the trade-off c:
Wrap up~ Every Dps should be rocking this companion. : P I could make exceptions for supports due to bonuses some other companions provide.
@rjc9000 Thats everything, right? cx
Other than that save ya Brave seals once the Module rolls around if you can get em. -w-
Also, you would be surprised at the number of GFs you'd meet who don't know what their class mechanic does. Everything else sounds about right.
