I was so excited for this update, and then remembered I play on console, so I have to wait for a while still.

[@91sabra]

When is it coming to console?

[@Bloodarcher43]

The pain is real my fellow Vestige

Note re Tanlorin -- others have posted that they achieved higher DPS with quickened rather than aggressive.

[@trainedorphan9640]

Really? Any sources, can’t find much on it

[@JH-en6ql]

@@trainedorphan9640 And, I think they were comparing all medium aggressive vs all light w/ quickened and the haste skill. It looks like Arzyel also is recommending all quickened, but with all medium armor.

[@Cooperharley0204]

I’m surprised they still haven’t actually updated the companion system as a whole. They’ve continued to add companions to it, but no expansion of their capabilities, any change ups, etc. Pretty crazy

[@HackTheMinotaur]

I may have a video on this soon. You are right, the system needs updating

[@giantmonkee1199]

Unfortunately the companion system isn't much of a system. They could have done a recruitment system, like a hireling, a office in every major city. For example...go to Murkmire to hire an Argonian. They could have incorporated storyline NPCs into the companion system...example have Naryu as a companion instead of Miri.

[@Billsomebody89]

I'm pretty eager to have this necro companion.

[@ベオベオ]

tank build is the best build for my companions

[@_allthatjazz_8667]

Isobel still strongest healer/tank imo,but necro looks pretty good

[@percronholm8536]

When will we get legendary companion gear?

[@BBRocker75]

Just a little note Mr. Hack: Who the hell run solo build and don't use Caltrops? Caltrops is the autoself included skill in all solo builds except sorcs, and i use it n sorcs too. Good old caltrops is the best for major breach in solo builds. 👍👍👍

[@HackTheMinotaur]

Players who hate PVP mostly. I usually get a few comments on my builds that use Caltrops

[@saffrondragoneyes]

how much is the new companions in the crown store if your not a member?

[@HackTheMinotaur]

@@saffrondragoneyes 1000 each or 1500 for both

Why/how is your toon wearing a banner? Did you just come from Craglorn? 😅

[@joshuajohnson7984]

It's the new Banner Grimoire from scribing.

[@abd-alnahdi]

The dragon knight build? 😮

[@KpK1Cioby]

COMPANIONS CAN'T TANK PERIOD. Except maybe for non vet content and weaker world bosses, the tiger boss on Grathwood beat the shit out of my waste of gold Isobel self heal with low CD and full purple dmg reduction. They need to fix companions.

[@poopikins]

If you put an ally or AOE heal on your character, it's very hard for them to die. Also, try quickened so they can use their skills more frequently.

[@Robot_on_drugs]

Wrong . She can tank vdsa, there’s videos to prove it. You want isobel in all vigorous. Use deltas build. Then just have everyone run echoing vigor. You’re using a bad build , that’s nobody’s fault but your own.

[@EnshinAlbion]

No, companions should be an optional extra for a little help or bonus. They should not be game defining or changing.

[@cabbagedestroyer1693]

We should be able to have two companions out at the same time!

[@mikeyrider8940]

You do realise that these 2 arent free. One is free aslong as ur a eso plus memeber BUT let it expire and you lose said companion and the other one u have to buy it out right from the crown store.. eso is doing a cash grab here

[@HackTheMinotaur]

This is not true. Both are free to ESO plus members. After you unlock them they also stay on your account even if you cancel ESO plus

[@inukes507]

1) With ESO PLUS BOTH of them are free. 2) ZOS has explicated said that even if you lose your ESO PLUS status you won't lose access to those companions. 3) I agree that for those without ESO PLUS it is an obvious ploy to get them to either buy ESO PLUS or just buy the companions with crowns.

[@scottphilo209]

There is zero requirement or need to buy anything in the Crown Store. It's not a "cash grab" if everything is an optional, quality of life, item. If you want the new Companion, skip one drive through, fast food lunch, pay for one month of ESO plus, get the Companions and then cancel. But it's not a cash grab, so quit whining.

[@ScottofOakland]

Just FYI, looks like Zerith-Var is non-binary. All pronouns seems to be they/them on the tooltips. Correct me if I'm wrong, please.

[@HackTheMinotaur]

@@ScottofOakland all companion tooltips have that format I believe going back to the bastion and mirri

[@ScottofOakland]

Looks like both are non-binary

[@ScottofOakland]

I'm not sure about Zenith-Var, but 100% confirmed by Zos themselves. Tanlorin is non-binary. Look it up. Just FYI. All my comments are being deleted for some reason.

[@Lychee_Witch]

Tanlorin is the one that uses they/them, not Zerith-Var.
