Would be great if someone else stepped in to keep the first post updated. Would need a mod to switch control. I got bored and stopped playing a couple months ago.
I'm disappointed mostly in gauntlygrim. Not in how it is, but in the fact that they are spaced so incredibly far apart that there will be a good number of nights where it won't happen while I am able to play. This is the same major thing about GW2 that angered me. There is fun content in the game, but its for such limited…
Hey all, I will be updating the main thread of this post tomorrow when I get some actual time off of work. I'll pick through the last few pages for any information that can be added. I'll be leaving the discussions about whether or not a companion is actually worth having out of the main post unless there is some agreement…
She provides a life steal buff and a 10% damage resist buff. I have to agree that she is not nearly as good as a cleric companion, but I've seen people say they like her so I removed my DO NOT BUY tag from her on my main post.
I thought he was originally listed as a striker. Since you know you would do a lot of damage with a huge sword cleaving through peoples faces. But he just sucks all around. Has control, but it's not nearly as good as what the wizard has and is much harder to hit. Has terrible dps, and can't take a hit nearly as well as a…
Thanks for the updated info guys! I'll be checking periodically to keep the top post updated. I'll also try to work on the colors and formatting so it is all easier to read. There are a lot of companions out there so this is going to be a monster to keep updated!
Buy zen with astral diamonds and you won't have to spend real world cash. So far I've been getting trade bars(forget the actual name T something) Chance of astral diamonds, chance of mounts, chance of companions, and chance at both player and companion enchantment stones. One of the companion ones I got was a 3.5% bonus xp…
Info on pre-purchase companions is now in the guide. I'll update more information for them tomorrow when I get to test them out. Yes I paid for both. I'm broke yay poorness.
None of them have been available in any of the beta weekends so I have no idea. The wolf from the store was only green so I hope the guardian pack wolf is atleast blue since I'll be using him. Well unless they put the boar back in, my dwarf character needs a good battleboar pet.
Currently you can get all the known ones I've listed from the emporium in Protectors Enclave. It's the building that the companion quest takes you to at 16. Vendors are on the right side as you walk through the building. Prices and such have been fluctuating so I was going to wait for release to do something like that.
That's what I fear. I really liked the boar companion because it fit so well with my dwarven fighter. If the only way to get it is from a lockbox I won't even try. One of the few things I've learned is to not spend money on anything in an MMO that is a gamble because I will always lose that gamble.
I'm incredibly happy that this has helped a bunch of people! I'll have to do stuff like this in more games, find something in beta to gather info on and find out all I can about it. That way I won't blow through too much content just playing and testing and then get bored of the game earlier.
Yay I got stickied! Thread has been updated. I unfortunately did not get nearly enough play time in that I wanted this weekend so my testing things out and exploring all the changes was less than I had wanted. And now I am off to finish doing taxes. Yay taxes. I hope everyone finds this helpful!
With this closed beta starting today I would really appreciate everyone collecting any additional information that I can add to the guide. I'm also looking for anything that has changed! Please reply here or PM. Early next week I hope to have it all re-written and formatted to be a bit clearer. Thanks!
With BW4 coming up and, from what I've heard, a fair number of changes going into the game this guide will be getting updated a fair bit next week! I would love any help that anyone could give especially with any of the following questions or anything I flat out miss. What companion did you use? What types of powers did…
