Companion Request: Phase Spider!

Dear Cryptic,

Please add the Phase Spider (not spiderling) as a purple (of course) quality companion. With its 2k+ damage attacks and the ability to teleport out of immediate danger (unlike other companions) make it a valuable addition to the game and one I would love and treasure for as long as I keep playing. :)

I would even consider paying Zen for it(!) if it was reasonably priced.



Yours sincerely,

mr.rubbish



Phew! Just had to get that off my chest...

    I second this request! I've always liked spiders and like my characters to have them as companions!
    A dream to some, a NIGHTMARE to others!

    FWIW, companions will likely *not* have all the attacks, HP, or do the kind of damage enemies do. The full size phase spider is a boss-like category of enemy, IIRC. We basically have peon/minion level companions.

    Sorry man! They could use the bigger spider model, and it would be really cool if it did indeed blink around during combat. IIRC, blue and lower tier companions get 2 attacks, and purples get 3. So, a blue phase spider could have, perhaps, a leg-swipe attack which could have a very low chance of knocking the enemy down, and they could make the 2nd power a blink & bite move where the spider blinks next to an enemy and bites them, dealing toxic DoT.

    If we're talking a purple spider, then the blink could be a move unto itself which could impart a short stun.

    Maybe make the phase spider a bizarre form of guardian?

    'Teleport to safety' sounds like a great final defensive power, and they look pretty threatening!

    Whoa! I was just reading the the patch notes to the preview shard (looking for news on companion training) and i came across the following (414511-Patch-Notes-NW-5-20130714b-3):


    Economy, Items, and Rewards

    New items have been added to the Trade Bar Merchant in Protector's Enclave!
    Mounts: Small Forest Stag
    Companion: Phase Spider
    Fashion Set: Sun Elf Noble
    Gear: Sinister Weapons


    If this does happen (I logged into the preview shard but the Trade Bar merchant had none of the 4 items listed above), then it means that I have the power! BWAHAHAHAHA!

    But seriously, Tarmalune Trade Bars? What the heck?


    Anyway, before this thread is lost to the Abyss/Chasm forever, I'll make my next companion suggestion, this would be for when Cryptic raise the level cap.

    Thoon Hulk!!!!!
    Full-sized with all powers intact. Think about it, you know it makes sense! :D

    Well, the sun elf noble fashion set is in there. I would assume the fact that other don't show up is an oversight.
