I didn't realize that the combat companions were actually useful at some point, sad they got nerfed to near uselessness. I do hope they fix them to be better than they are now.
I was told the Rare leader missions have a chance to drop a rare chest when done regardless of what was listed in the mission. I think that is pure BS. Most of the common missions are indeed much better than the rare missions.
People target my rogue, even when stealthed, other classes have 3 uses of dodge vs a rogues 2. Not counting fighters... CW's who know their class destroy rogues. Rogues kill anyone with no skill in their class. I do love to kill clerics, they tend to try and heal through the onslaught of rogue attacks, few try to dodge…
A pet basilisk as DPS/CC companion would be fun. A dual wielding drow fighter as a striker. An Ogre Mercenary to play meat shield/aoe GWF One could go on for ages.
The GWF fighter is serious AoE, a few good AoEs and most mobs in the Tower area are all dead in about 2s. You just need to know how the class works and play to its strengths. Its single target DPS is lacking at best, but the speed boost from the Tab skill can help immensely.
