Cat - Bonus stats from whatever runes/items you give it, crit, and recovery. It also can't agro mobs, so that's a bonus.
Angel of Protection - Healing, huge damage reduction every 60s, and even more passive damage reduction. Nobody has this yet, but as long as it doesn't explode in fights, it'll probably do a great job at keeping you alive.

can anyone post exact diffrence from those two?
Ioun Stone gives 160 power/crit/recovery ring/neck/ICON slots 2 offensive 1 defensive runestones costs 2000zen(around 600k)
Cat gives 255 crit/225recovery ring/neck/BELT slots 2 offensive 1 defensive runestones costs 980k ad
Either of them is mandatory and the only possible solution for high end game , since they transfer all their stats to you (base,runestone AND items), and with them you get get all the possible caps in offensive stats (3k crit,3k rec, 2.2k armPen).
Some additional info : Both cannot attack,be attacked or aggro, so you will have them 100% up (except PvP were companions are not permitted)
Difference in base stats is minor ,and the ammount of stats you get from the item is what matters. 400k ad difference does not make up for the extra 95 crit / 65 recovery. Also the only belt with offensive slot that worth to get stats from in cat is piercing berseker (900k ad in ah if you dont go for the very low stats one) ,while all icons are cheaper and all have offensive slot.
Cat might be slightly better in the end of the day, but as it goes for cost Ioun Stone is the deal for the cost, simply because you get more than enough stats in total to care about that minor base ones
Congratulations , you spent 3mil ad to get to a cap that you can with ioun with 2mil less .Thats a greater weapon enchant wasted right there
Thank you for telling ME how to spend MY diamonds. In case you were wondering, the total cost of my cat was only the initial diamonds I spent on it.
In the world of MMO's there are people who follow the trends, and people who set them. Tack another tally on the followers.
If you want to focus on other things, like stats, its the exact same thing, they offer the same stats in total. If you want to focus on PvP, companion does not work, so its the same. If you imply freeing slots for greater tenebrous enchantment, I can agree that cat will help you do it, but the more AD you wasted on cat could be invested in higher rank enchantments with the same result instead. I really don't want to disagree, and I taken it too far already i think , I will just recommend to the OP to go for the Ioun Stone for the reasons I mentioned before. Less cost with similar results.
And there are people who think with their money can win the internet , or are above others because of them. Don't care about YOUR diamonds, I simply implied the cost in AD of your actions ,and the alternative cost and what can be resulted in. You will never be able to set the trends dear friend, you are just a guy that cashes the trends other people set.
To give you a hint because I feel sorry about you, stacking piercing berserker items on your companions is less beneficial overall than stacking recovery, if you pay more attention you might learn the reason someday.
The power isn't worth it in the long run. That's all I and Judicas are saying. At least for GWF's anyways.
You don't get penalty for having extra Power too, and since you can get the caps (3k rec,3k crit, 2.2k armPen), is not that you loose something, thats what I am trying to say. Ioun will help you get the capstones the same as cat will. I didn't say Ioun>Cat, I just said Ioun can do the job and it is a lot cheaper.
I spent $200 for HotN and people assume I spent another penny after that. It's rather amusing to be honest.
Well your two posts in the beginning were like you thought of yourself as the guru of the game. Maybe I tried to force my opinion , it was wrong and I apologise for it. My intention was only to suggest something, and I ended up messing with it. I hope OP can get the picture from all of this, and make his decision. I won't go to a further debate for the matter, I said more than enough related or not to the matter. I think my first post should be the only taken into account on the matter, anything further is my personal opinion and nothing more.
Ioun Stone price > Cat price
Radiant price > Azure/Silvery price
Crit cap reached on both just as easily
Recovery cap reached on both just as easily
Overall more stats given and less AD spent on the stone
You can say the cat is better all you want.
Yet the cat is not only more expensive and has an annoying meow added to it. The stone is just straight up better.
