Can someone who has actually used this companion please offer some insight on how good it is. I'm not concerned about how it performs while leveling, nor am I interested in hearing how augments are better. I currently have 5x toons all level 60 and all with augments so I am aware of how good those are. I was considering purchasing this companion because its description seems pretty solid. An overall summation would be helpful, but also can anyone answer:
1. Does it live during epic dungeons
2. How hard does it hit
3. If I stacked him with regeneration gear and HP runestones, coupled with his innate regeneration ability, would he be able to help in mass add boss fights and maybe actually live for the duration.
4. How many hps does he have at level 30
5. Can he agro trash off a cleric during boss fights.
Thanks for any insights. If you have anything outside the questions to offer, please do as there doesnt seem to be a lot of information outside of beta useage and the 1-59 level experience on this companion.

Well, my sweary little chickadee, the relevant parts are these:
Hence the response. Combat pets in this game suck. Augment pets that don't die are the only worthwhile option currently. Not only was I talking to the OP, and not to you, but l2read before jumping in with both braincells, please.
However, when soloing through content (especially Foundry adventures), OR if I find myself in a pick-up group with lousy aggro management (I'm looking at you, Mr. Tank-Who-Doesn't-Watch-The-Party), I'll pull out Galeb Duhr. Mine is fully leveled up and outfitted with purple gear focused on the Companion's survivability. As a result, the thing rarely dies. (Yeah, I know... a Companion that stays alive in Epic Dungeons? Unthinkable!) And it actually does a fairly decent job of snagging aggro from trash mobs that won't stop swarming me. Well, at least one of those trash mobs at a time. But that's usually enough for me to disengage, relocate, and get back to my job as a Cleric.
Also you didnt answear on his questions.If someone really knows how Ghaleb Dhur works i want to know too.He is too expensive to be like other combat pets.

That's pretty awesome, I've only ever seen them keel over and die
That said, I'd be pretty amazed if they'd make it through CN or Epic Dread Vault. There are a lot of mobs that you simply don't want to mess with. Combat pets fail hard at not standing in red, and there are some red patches which one-shot even fairly robust players.
Still, I do like the idea of your pet trundling around staying alive in the lighter T2s.
I am in the exact same situation and do exactly the same - my main is a lvl 60 DC, with pretty decent gear (12.502 GS for those who care about that HAMSTER). I have a bunch of other companions (10 in total), but Rocky and the stone are the only ones I find worth using.
I actually need to re-outfit my Galeb Duhr - originally I was not aware that adding certain stats to combat companions was completely pointless, so I have to re-think some of the gear he has and the enchantments, but yeah...he is valuable in Foundries and nice to have when doing some solo stuff.
But yeah, for competent groups, the stone is the thing to use.
Every time they idiot-proof something...they make better idiots.
Its pretty durable, stack regen/defense onto it and it should die much.
2. How hard does it hit
Not hard at all. Cant pull the numbers from my head now but its barely noticable, and galeb attacks very slowly (and uses skills slowly too)
5. Can he agro trash off a cleric during boss fights.
Yes but his taunt only works on one target and there is a downtime so there will be period between cooldowns where the target will change target due to its a lengthy cooldowns, and will only attack things you have hit first and stick to its previous target if you change to hit a weaker one. (weak, tough, elite etc). so mostly likely it will just keep attacking the boss until it dies.
Note: Its main use is if you go solo, for foundry/GG PvE. that kinda thing, dungeons its pretty useless, because of its AI, and slow attacks/skills. For example when i use him in GG (on my wizard) i can solo those 3 golems with ease, and can die from them but sometimes does not (regens its health a bit in between dropping and picking up agro), i hope that gives you a reference on his toughness.
and also the featured satirical comedic adventure "A Call for Heroes".
He doesn't die more than a squishy player and before he does, he do a good tanking job and if possible it's the only companion I would bother to rez.
Q: Is a/an (insert companion name here) worth it?
A: No, all companions suck at the end game, they are more vanity items than anything else.
Like some TRs do, if they're mid-animation when you punt XD
