Game Help / Companion usage in combat.
« on: January 14, 2014, 03:18:27 pm »
Hi guys,
i recently started to use companion in combat and was hoping to get some results, when i sacrificed some skill points and work to get it.. But i was really disappointed.
I have this one:
ST 8
PE 10
EN 10
CH 6
IN 9
AG 10
LK 6
151% Energy Weapons
right now on lvl around 15 i think with around 200HP... I was told by Docan that this is a good companion, and if 10 (not sure about this?) is max stat for companion, i have to agree that this one is good.
The problem is, that he is still pretty lame.. If i give him a laser rifle, he shoots 1 time each round in TB combat (+- 40dmg).. well, thats useless (and have 10 AGI). I tried plasma pistol, cause it requires less AP, thats 2 shots each round for +- 25-35 dmg... useless again. Not to mention that command Attack - High priority has sometimes 1 round delay and companion often shoots someone who you don't want to kill asap.
So, my questions is.. Is there any way, how to have an efficient friend, who can actually help you in combat? I didn't try other weapon specialization companions, maybe others are better than EW, or maybe some tip about what weapons to give them.. Maybe -1AP weapons works for them and so they could shoot more times each round?
A character build which is focusing on companions (mercs dies, that sucks) could be nice, right now player can have up to 3 companions, for some cost of course (trait and 10 charisma needed), but they are pretty weak.. Any suggestion how to make them usefull in combat and not only to carry things, like a respawning brahmin?
Thanks for any answers or suggestions =)
