Share your companions builds, and how they assist you

[ClockworkGhost]

Much in the same way that there is a thread on character builds, I believe it may be useful for players to share the way they have set up their companions too. I use all three companions, and have them set up for specialist roles.

I play a tank character myself, so use my companions similar to a sort of plug in skill peripheral. My current builds are as follows.

Grissenda - Lvl 14 2h Warrior (DPS build) 198 HP
AC 14, DMG 13-31, SPD 9, CRIT 5% (32-46), DPS 21.6
STR 5, END 3, AGI 1, INT 0, AWA 0, PER 0
Whirlwind 2, Resilience 1, Fury 1, 2 handed Expert 3, Cleave 2

Adaon - Lvl 14 Archer Rogue (Detection build) 95 HP
AC 12, DMG 14-14, SPD 18, CRIT 3% (15-21), DPS 26.2
STR 0, END 1, AGI 3, INT 1, AWA 4, PER 2
Kick 1, Trap Master 1, Archery 3, Dungeoneering 3, Gossip 3

Hirge - Lvl 14 Lt Weapons Cleric (Healer build) 167 HP
AC 15, DMG 9-10+4, SPD 11, CRIT 5% (11-15) DPS 15.6
STR 1, END 0, AGI 3, INT 0, AWA 0, PER 3, MANA 46
Heal Wounds 3, Intervention 3, Arbenos Might 1, Nivarias Barrier 3

I am very satisfied with my Higre build. I use her as a support mainly. Maxed healing and some points into passives, thus she doesn't consume mana on random encounters with single mobs. Sometimes I put her agro on staying behind, and heal me from afar (maxes the heal my character gets) while my 2h Warrior do the dirty job.
I also put only one point in Endurance, so she could restore her HP quickly, passing the rest to me. It is no the perfect build, I couls change thing or two, but overall, we are good couple.
My main focus is on mana, just for the sake of heals.
Equipped with Ghostbane for electrical damage, as not many of the monsters are immune to that.

Edit: forgot to mention her 45% gossip chance with proper equipment, even though I have a feeling sometimes, it doesn't mean anything as I get gossips on my 15% chance warrior with simillar results.

When you get to it. Put any of the three tyes of agility blet's on her (thief guild has the best) The few mana from some items doesn't help a much as armor and health and letting her attack. I use mine and hire a mercenary. She heals all three.until she is high level, you can respect her and get that 2%/1 damage undead ski point back into the pool.

I have built a cleric healer tank. I have my melee dps to the point(ty warriors guild) where I do good damage. However, using Grissenda as a fury 2h warrior makes life great. I just make sure I am between her and the mob pack. Grissenda's cleave kills all without her taking too much damage.

 

[Ziggprith]

I usually hang around with Grissnda, and her build tech is tanking and getting full agro.

So I maximized her defense and skill mastery for shielding. Since my character build is Heal Cleric, I can support her and flank the enemy while she takes an agro.

She looks great! What skills did you choose to focus on for her? Shield Expert? Cleave?

She got Lv3 Shield Expert, and Lv2 Cleave.

Cleave is good for taking agro on numeral enemies and Shield Expert has no need to say for making higher defense.

Also I put 3 on Bash cuz 4 seconds stunning moment for the epic monster or bosses is extremely precious.

Very nice build. I like it. If I had a rogue worth talking about I would use it for sure! She certainly looks tough. I wonder if she could take on my Adaon packing a composite bow.

Has anybody given their companions any tollasion books? If so, was it worth it?

 

[Loggy]

I gave a companion book, I think it would matter more if you gave them ore than one at a time though.
