[QUOTE="VDX_360, post: 58794, member: 2651"] Companion choice is very dependent on playing style, player preference, and build, etc. There's not really a clear objectively more useful Companion. Some general notes: You can get Gris a lot earlier in the game. Gris tends to better at crowd control due to Warrior skills Cleave etc. Gris tends to be more durable for longer fights (esp with a shield). Hirge can use magic, including healing spells, scrolls and some useful attack skilss. Hirge can be build as an undead killing beast (esp useful in the Pit). At upper levels, Hirge can serve as a walking HP-tank for your Character. The biggest drawback to Hirge is her AI. If given active skills she tends to use them at all the wrong time. (Arbeno's Might against fire elements, or against very weak enemies). One can make adjustments to when you use her to help minimize this, take only on crypt or ice runs, etc. Players often simply skip the AI issue with Hirge by not given her any active skills other than Heal. She becomes a pretty durable tank that can heal herself and you. It's not uncommon for people to re-spec Gris from 1-hand weapon user to a 2-H weapon user later in the game. Or to keep her 2-H the entire way. Same with Hirge. [/QUOTE]
