My idea is to create a node in the passive tree or an unique idol maybe?
“Compaions take and deal 90% less damage”
it would allow build diversity when u want to use companions only for buffing while not beeing forced to build your gear for companions survivability, because no one basically will do this, as you need gear for your survivability.
Ive seen many builds with companions as buffers, let’s says from lizard’s youtube low life saman where he is using crows, there were comments that they die too easily and those people were suggested to snapshot companions which is basically cheating, so it would solve this problem aswell, but most important is build diversity it would provide.
Companions and Minions take 50% less damage in general and get flat life from the attribute they are scaling with. To make them more tanky than that, each companion has atleast some points to invest into survivability.
still getting one shooted at the mid-endgame, lets say 200 coruption or 200 wave if you not fully invest in them, so basically u can’t use them for buffing without cheating
Crows in particular have the least amount of health, get the least amount of health per stat and have barely any points for survival on their tree. Only thing they have going for them is that they are ranged which doesnt help much against AOE attacks from bosses.
Straight up 90% less damage taken without any drawback would be way to strong. But I agree that crows could need some more options on their tree to get life or dr.
they would take 90% less damage and they would do 90% less damage, so all companions this way couldn’t be used for straight dps, i honestly can’t see other solution in the current state of the game, i haven’t played long diablo 3, but from what i remember there was a way to make your helper immortal to only provide buffs, it’s not the perfect solution of course, and even with 90% less damage taken companions will die time to time, but as i said, it’s hard to figure out another solution, im not talking specifically about crows, spriggan companion also is impossible to keep alive in the arena and higher corruption even though it has some defensive layers on it’s tree, im talking from druid and shaman mastery perspective
someone can say u have eterra blessing, but u won’t be revieving your companion all the time to get a few buffs
I agree, something like this would be good to have for support companions when needing to gear for their survivability becomes detrimental to the build.
