I am interested to see what people think. I bought the Guardian pack, and have used the wolf a fair bit.
I didn't read the descriptions very well, and discovered too late that the vanilla companions have a max level of 15 (useless?). Now I'm shopping for one of the 'purple' companions to see if there's one that will help me.
I have a lvl 41 Cleric, and I'm finding soloing damned hard. I don't want to join a guild because I don't know how long I'll play this game. Plus I don't know if there will be much of an end-game yet.
Please feel free to discuss what you like and don't like about your companions.
The purple-wolf that comes with the Guardian pack has an excellent interrupt.
I also run the vanilla Man-At-Arms. He can tank one mob effectively, but no more than that. Plus he has no damage abilities.
Since the Companions are as stupid as stone slabs, if the mob has a regenerative ability, they will burn through the companion.
Thanks for your input.

After level 20 the warg is awesome. His only issue is he wont attack a CCd opponent, so sometimes he just sits and watches me (on a CW) fight. He also REFUSES to walk past a trap.
The dog companion (the 2 gold one) is 10 different levels of squishy. Even at Lvl 12 now, all he does is die. Useless IMO.
The Cleric companion(now at lvl 14) does a good job, but her heals often pull agro on her....so she dies a lot.

Personally I use both the Dire Wolf and Cleric companions. If forced I would give the edge to the wolf (if only due to his level). I use each for different things though so 'better' isn't exactly the right word.

Honey Badger is an absolutely amazing companion to play with as a guardian fighter. I taunt and keep aggro while he AOE bleeds. The badger paired with the Dire Wolf is just filthy.
You get 2mil. AD if you pay to win, I mean buy the founder's pack.
Better off buying Zen then trading it for AD, the ratio of Zen to AD is insane atm (1:500, might b ea little less now but that' what it was a couple days ago).
