I very like companions because I like do vet dungeons with my dad as duo, my dad is an oldman so he need more time to learn stuff so we like do dungeons unhurried, slowly explore and teach bosses, it is hard to find players to play with us in such tempo, so companions very helpful, now we have more options with this set, next thing we away for is golden companion gear.
Right, that, is a cool dad right there. Side note: what builds do you both run, and how do you run your companions. Asking so I can bask in the EPIC father-son power-plays. #Jealous
What builds do you two use? Super curious since my mum and dad run three man with me cause we like to slow explore too. We want to get into vet content but my parents aren't quite there yet gear wise.
My dad use pure survivable tank setup so he can live even if he did some mistake, his setup is dk nord with plague doctor + leeching plate + engine guardian. I use heavy attack one bar builds, but use different classes depend of situation, if need resurrection ult use Necromancer, if need to use Psijic Order Precognition ult for self rescue (for exaple in vet bloodforge) then use Sorc, for other cases when just need to do good damage and survive I use one bar Warden as it do good damage and increase hp for me and dad. Also I like 2 bar templar but for now I think one bar heavy attackers more effective, this may change after necrom and Velothi Ur-Mage's Amulet mythic. We use both healer companions with all purple Quickened gear, we use Ember and Isobel, but any companion can heal, after this video I am interested to use Bastion and Isobel with new set to boost heavy attacks.
currently our best achieve with these setups are vet fang lair with hm and vet scalecaller peak also with hm, we did it after many many tries, I am so proud of my dad :)
One tip for companions is skills that are “oh shit” buttons such as Vanish or Mystic Fortress (they usually come with a hp% requirement) should be put first in the bar so they use it as soon as the condition is triggered. Otherwise you may get a situation where Isobel is jabbing instead of vanishing and dies because she has 2 skills queued before her escape. Same for mystic fortress, if someone is low hp, they want that shield right now, not 2s later.
This is cool. I have both Bastion and Isobel set as tanks. I can see this being useful in the new 'dungeon for 2'. Normal content also, as i still spend most of my time playing alone.
The problem though is HOW can casual players get it? It is crafted so likely will be morbidly expensive. I don't see how it's possible. Even look at prices of "Amulet of the Order's Wrath" like that's so hard to imagine a casual player being able to drop that kinda gold... I think that's an unfortunate reality of this set.
@@ColeEvyx why would they need an amulet... they can literally get orders wrath crafted for their bodies pretty much free... and buy purple mother sorrow jewels and weps for under a 100k gold ... you're over thinking simple things.
@@kanadagreeen no one groups or even talks to each other with or without the companions. ESO was the first mmo I've played where people don't even say hi to each other in dungeons. Never seen that in GW2 or Lotro and thought it was a custom to talk to people since it's an online game. Antisocial mutes in ESO proved me so wrong :D
Ohh this set with ember’s cooldown skill she could use so many long cooldown abilities I’d never use otherwise! The companion armor skills look so fun to put in builds but the cooldowns are ridiculous, maybe this armor set will make that better
Thumbnail made me laugh my ass off, little did I know that shit was JUSTIFIED. thanks for covering this, I had no idea. Going to duo every dungeon with my companion for those sweet skill points on my new arcanist
Telvanni Efficiency + Veloti Ur Mage Mythic + X for ultimate solo companion build maybe... the new Arcanist companion looks like an awesome tank/support companion, lots of buff
why cant companions use pre existing sets that players can use and for roleplayers become vampires and werewolves? Or be fed on by the vampire players as a source of food.
I think this will pair really well with Heartland Conqueror set, in a leveling / CP farming setup. Training trait on everything except jewelry (obviously); where you'll probably want to go with either three Swift or maybe just one Swift and two Robust (cause you'll find yourself sprinting a lot while farming CP).
This might actually bring me back to the game. I've had no interest in the new expansion so far, but if I can solo all the PvE content and farm new sets by myself, that'll leave me with more time and energy to focus on PvP, which is what I mainly like in ESO.
Wait wait wait. Companion Quickened trait is ADDITIVE with Telvani set? That seems super strong. I fear that ZOS will patch it and make it multiplicative. So we will get 65% reduction instead of the 85% we see now.
I run mostly solo with isabel. She's my tank. I don't have Bastian yet. but this is really cool info for me! especially knowing how to manage "pets" and recalling and whatnot. though I do dual bar :( I don't oakensoul nevertheless thank you for all your info!!
That's great news, because I definitely love using my companions. Only two things I consider disadvantages: I can only have one active at any given time. I wish ZOS would grand us an option to have two of them active. Guess that's too much to ask for? The other thing I wish for is the ability to use player equipment on them. Seriously: companion equipment isn't cutting it. It's difficult to obtain, there's no way to improve stuff, which makes it even harder to find stuff. I really want to simply give Mirri, Ember, Isobel etc. simply some of my older sets and call it a day. Not sure, how well that new set fits to the game 'though. Let's get through with it: The set is a hybrid set. Of course it is, otherwise it wouldn't benefit all players. It's good and bad at the same time, because some builds simply won't profit fully from that set. A pure Magicka build doesn't need Stamina buffs ;-) Also if someone is setting up a build based on proc, this set clearly isn't a good pick. Hmm. Since your character can have only 12 slots (+2 on your backbar), you can't have two full 5-piece-sets + a full monster set + a Mythic item. That's something to consider and may break certain builds. To make ANY use of this set, you have to decide: either monster set OR Mythic item. Difficult decision. I think I'd give up that monster set. So let's think about a good ol' classic Oakensoul build supported by a powerful Companion and I should end with Sergeant's Mail + Telvanni Efficiency + Oakensoul + one monster set piece. I think I'll keep Domihaus (+ Magicka and Stamina) or pick one that adds additional Health. Since I got most of the stuff already all I need is to craft that new set and give it a try. Maybe I finally can do some of the more difficult dungeons solo (lacking the skill for some of the vanilla ones).
If you're running content with a companion, I doubt you need to worry about min/max ing your gear. Whatever DPS loss you might perceive to have is made up by having less pressure on you.
@@irishsage2459 Maybe. Currently my Magplar is set to Oakensoul DPS with one healing skill on 5. I keep rotating skills to max 'em out, which always means I won't have max damage output. Still lots of work to do, even after years of playing that character. :-)
Exciting vid, and hoping this stays pretty intact for the Necrom release. Imagining it does, will you be updating your recommended Companion builds on your site, or including the Telvanni set with it? Keep up the great recon!
I don't see why they don't just give the companions their own sets to wear instead of us wearing the sets for them. same as our inventory being filled with their gear when they should have their own gear bag that we can access. it's neat that they are doing something for the companions but it could definitely be better.
It would be awesome to be able to set companions up with some armour sets. Thinking about how OP you could make them with the same sets players can use, it would make the whole game much easier to solo, which I don’t think they *entirely* want.
Her/its taunt and survivability is so good, that on any world boss or group dungeon, I just stay at range melting the enemy and occasionally throwing up my intensive mender, to keep isy going strong. She/It holds the adversaries attention so well, I need never get close.
This could be useful but unless its a set that the companion wears to get the bonuses (currently not a thing) I don't see people giving up a 5 piece that benefits themselves. Alternatively the dps and utility boost would have to justify dropping half of your available set bonuses off your person. Maybe its worth it, hard to tell from looking at stat cards. Its possible that this set allows you to run a full dps build with this set and whatever else combined with a tank or healer companion and become an overland solo setup that way.
Is Bastian still your favourite tank companion, even with 6x companions to choose from? Our tank went offline at the start of a Vet dungeon yesterday, and Bastion auto popped out and tanked like a boss. His health hardly moved for the entire dungeon, not even during the AOE that one shots players who don't run. I do have Telvanni Efficiency (paired with Noble Duelist). I hear good things about Sharp tanking. But Bastian keeps me good (I blew up a monkey yesterday and he really made me feel bad 😂 haha)
no they won't, at least not in vet dungeons...my isobel tank can already stand up to the sable knight wb but if I take her in a vet dungeon she folds pretty fast. He should've taken his companion to the wb on the left side of the map (ascendent something) as there's more aoes and adds
I can solo mob packs in vet dungeons and like 30%, of the bosses lol companions definitely needed an upgrade. I don't and never will use companions and even I think this is a great change
I like running dungeons with my wife. She brings ember and I usually bring Bastian but I've been bringing azandar along since I like his perk and wanna level him up ASAP. We're both levelling arcanists so I've crafted us both 5x heartland conqueror and 5x telvanni efficiency to smooth along the process.
I used to raid as a hunter in wow back in the day. Compared to that the companion/pet controlling mechs in eso are easy mode lol. Arent we getting pre-made group finder at the end of the year? I wonder if they are worried about pugs and dungeon finder?
I wonder if this would make some fun challenge running a half team of Companions for Trials since the buff is so significantly good that they could pass up as replacements. Probably would change the setup tho since the entire team has to wear this set so everyone has to make do.
6:30 I think you're gonna need ten to twenty million gold if you want to get Isobel's Penetrating Strikes cooldown to 2.5 seconds as all her equipment would need to be purple and quickened 😁
Bastian also has Basalt barrier which is very good..15% healing recieved with near 100% uptime. He is a great Tank and Healer and also makes a great buffer/support with many options. Its shame he is the worst companion personality wise lol.
If this game keeps its legs i a.i. can see them giving companions some greater range of autonomy beyond what we see. For example being able to swap out skills per encounter w/o a command? Or maybe more dynamic immersive conversation? Also they could carry and maybe suggest gear setups based off environment? Idk. Pretty cool tho.
Take them thru a vet dungeon solo and they fold up pretty fast without heals from you which is a shame because they should be able to fill the role in a group situation. It's dumb to have to wear a set to make them not be squishy, they should share your buffs or get extra HP/defense buffs in vet content
Since getting Telvanni, i have slotted a couple of the longer cooldown skills. Which are suddenly very useful! - Provoke (every 5 seconds, so Bas can taunt 3x targets during 15 seconds) -On guard (100% uptime now) - Drake's blood (every 6sec, 100% uptime) -Crushing claws (50% uptime! 4 seconds every 8 seconds!) -Blazing grasp every 4seconds! To pull in loose adds. I'm still working on the cast order but the addition of claws and the chain make Bas a BOSS at tanking groups now.
In ur website, for stamina nb no proc build, u said to play "Order's Wrath" But Order's Wrath, are 5th passive "increased crit damage and healing" is not taken into effect. ;)
With Companions receiving such a buff to be more reliable in harder content - and therefore making Overland even easier - could you potentially do a video that is a deep dive on your perspective of what the issues with Overland are?
I don't hear to much about the companion : Mage Guild ,/ Fighter's Guild / Undaunted commendation that you can buy with Event Tickets , Like : how many can be used at one time & When Or how often can they be used , Also when is the best time to use them .
this might make companions worth doing while messin around with world bosses. I tend to just solo em, but companions usually die so damn quickly it's never worth using them. With this set they can actually be useful.
I wanted to see if there was a video on this. The set is actually amazing for solo. Isobel > Bastian [Tank] though. It was all about skill set rotation plus gear. 7piece hp/5pc quicken Isobel = 1 savage 2 Ritual 3 Holy 4 Solar 5 Sacrament. Bastian is good though. She is allowing me to solo vet dungeons, odd thing she is surviving 1 shots? I run Oaken HA- Sergeants/Telvanni. Tc and enjoy the content. Oh- make a training sets and let your companions lvl you…..lol.
this makes them so viable for more basic content that they should just cut Companions' cooldowns in half by default (and think of a new buff for this set). before now, the only reasonably decent companion build was heals and whatever unique buffs/debuffs a companion could bring... tanking and damage was just not there, even against basic stuff like world bosses.
I remember telling people this was going to happen eventually, and everyone was like, "Nah nah bro. No way." That said, it's another reason I don't play.
Its funny that I solo with an isy tank, and have done for a long time, she makes a better tank than most tanks I have quested with, I equip her/it with Two taunt skills, Two healing skills, one attack and the ultimate; all purple heavy, various traits except the one gold ring we nearly all got, plus purple sword and shield. When I solo VOM, and I get to the Harvester boss that picks you up constantly (annoyingly), I go and make a coffee or open a beer, enjoy my beverage and when I am done, my Isy has killed it for me. Try it for yourself.
4:54 "y" commands them to use their ult, not come back to you. maybe show us where you bind the "Recall companion" because i don't see an option to do so.
Barr one, there is one world boss in Vvardenfell, that cannot defeat me, but I cannot defeat it, even with my isy. It just has a mechanic where I deplete half it's life, the it will jump on me and siphon its life back, I have battled this thing for 3 hours, when I gave up and run away, even Isy cant help me.
Thing I don't like is I have to use a 5 piece set for companions to be viable. If they can somehow just buff companions at base without any sets, then I will consider companions worth it
I don't have much trouble with my companion dying. I love my Bastian but I use him as a healer. Neither of us die very often. Still I need to check out your setups for some ideas. Icyfyre is a legend. What is that polymorph you have on??????
I use Ember as a second magicka dps. Im doing Isobel quest now and will probably make her into a tank while Bastion becomes a healer. The dark elf lady will be stamina dps. The warden will be a tank and the Arcanist will probably be a healer to.
"NEVER SAY FOREVER" Bugthesda always pulls this same thing they put out VERY VERY COOOOL stuff to get you to run out and buy the the new Chapter. Then they "NERF IT IN TO THE GROUND" AFTER THE PVP PLAYERS START CRYING.
So once again Deltia is trying to get something nerfed by declaring it "GOD MODE". Seems every time he comes out with one of his videos using that description, it gets nerfed within a month. Somewhat still click-baity with the whole 'God Mode' title tho! :p Oh, and no need to waste a slot with the whole cooldown reduction skill because the cooldowns become already outrageously low with quickened and TE set. Just sayin. Nice to see Bastian getting some love tho... now I want to see you do this video with Sharp and Azandar!!

Do you play on PS NA? I have a guild that's helpful to everyone. Every aspect of the game and zero tolerance on toxic behavior.
@Tech_CR-06 unfortunately pc NA, thanks bro
As a solo pve player, I love companions. Very happy with this set and hoping it reaches live with little if any changes.
As a solo pve player you are pathetic. I am sorry.
Companions are so fun! Watching them cast skills double time… I can’t wait! And it’s CRAFTABLE!!!
This will be a huge thing for the 75 to 85% of casual players and have companions be more meaningful for them. Total Win
casual players are so bad tho they can't manage to even outdps their companions, this set won't change anything

I feel like this would have been so much better as a monster set.
I've wondered why we can't craft or improve companion armor. Have the devs ever said why this wasn't baked in from the beginning?
why cant companions use pre existing sets that players can use and for roleplayers become vampires and werewolves?
Or be fed on by the vampire players as a source of food.

Wait wait wait. Companion Quickened trait is ADDITIVE with Telvani set? That seems super strong.

Downside is arming your companion to the teeth with the desires triats can cost the enormous fortune. On pc NA 1 correct gear piece can cost 1+ mil
Also, 'Y' is for command pet on PC but is also for the Ulti on Level 20 Companion.
Oh snap! I totally forgot about the 20% mitigation from the Fighter's Guild rune! I can't wait until this goes live! Lol! Going to be so much fun!
You’ll need to micromanage their movement to stay in it. They strafe left and right during some fights enough to just walk out of it.
@@derpatwerknsubbers1680 Even then it's not that bad because the cooldowns are so low, they will recast at their new position.
6:30 I think you're gonna need ten to twenty million gold if you want to get Isobel's Penetrating Strikes cooldown to 2.5 seconds as all her equipment would need to be purple and quickened 😁
I spent more like two milion

I don't hear to much about the companion : Mage Guild ,/ Fighter's Guild / Undaunted commendation that you can buy with Event Tickets , Like : how many can be used at one time & When Or how often can they be used , Also when is the best time to use them .
Hopefully Telvanni Efficiency craftable set doesn't get nerfed before the Necrom Chapter launch.
Ill come back to ESO if i can equip a helmet or to my companion.
This is just how companions should work by default. I shouldn't need to sacrifice one of my 5pc sets to make my companion better than worthless.
Lol … no dice! I don’t need a stinking companion. 😂😂😂
This is pretty awesome, I wonder how it tanks in veteran content dungeons. Maybe the que time will get shorter lol
this might make companions worth doing while messin around with world bosses. I tend to just solo em, but companions usually die so damn quickly it's never worth using them. With this set they can actually be useful.
Can they res me if I die? 😂
I wanted to see if there was a video on this. The set is actually amazing for solo. Isobel > Bastian [Tank] though. It was all about skill set rotation plus gear. 7piece hp/5pc quicken Isobel = 1 savage 2 Ritual 3 Holy 4 Solar 5 Sacrament. Bastian is good though. She is allowing me to solo vet dungeons, odd thing she is surviving 1 shots? I run Oaken HA- Sergeants/Telvanni. Tc and enjoy the content. Oh- make a training sets and let your companions lvl you…..lol.
this makes them so viable for more basic content that they should just cut Companions' cooldowns in half by default (and think of a new buff for this set). before now, the only reasonably decent companion build was heals and whatever unique buffs/debuffs a companion could bring... tanking and damage was just not there, even against basic stuff like world bosses.
Did i miss something? which race i should use to these builds?
I remember telling people this was going to happen eventually, and everyone was like, "Nah nah bro. No way." That said, it's another reason I don't play.
They need to just make the companion like this without required set a lot of us are alone out there and unable to find good groups
Its funny that I solo with an isy tank, and have done for a long time, she makes a better tank than most tanks I have quested with, I equip her/it with Two taunt skills, Two healing skills, one attack and the ultimate; all purple heavy, various traits except the one gold ring we nearly all got, plus purple sword and shield. When I solo VOM, and I get to the Harvester boss that picks you up constantly (annoyingly), I go and make a coffee or open a beer, enjoy my beverage and when I am done, my Isy has killed it for me. Try it for yourself.
I run oakensorc. The matriach keeps ember the tank alive. Shes the best tank. I can solo VHM dungeons with her. Only a one shot will kill her. Cheers.
4:54 "y" commands them to use their ult, not come back to you. maybe show us where you bind the "Recall companion" because i don't see an option to do so.
Barr one, there is one world boss in Vvardenfell, that cannot defeat me, but I cannot defeat it, even with my isy. It just has a mechanic where I deplete half it's life, the it will jump on me and siphon its life back, I have battled this thing for 3 hours, when I gave up and run away, even Isy cant help me.
Have a healing companion or always pop a heal when he summon the copies. I ve done with my nightblade just using vigor as heal.
AH MY GOD...
Nice thanks
👀
Should be interesting for the endless dungeon.
The set kinda seems like a bandaid. ZOS made companions mediocre by default on purpose, and then they release a set like this..
Thing I don't like is I have to use a 5 piece set for companions to be viable. If they can somehow just buff companions at base without any sets, then I will consider companions worth it
But why does he recommend it in medium weight (on his website) for a mag sorc? Why would medium be better than light?
Bro what armor is bastion wearing looks cool
I think motif from orsinium.
Wondering if this game will ever think of adding earrings for us to slot. Kinda lame just a necklace and 2 rings. Would be also great on companions.
now we need a set: you can summon two companions for 5 parts, and 3 for 10.
Do you ever get some sleep comrade? Great info, thanks
Where's the poor Ember? 😢
guess i need to get me them lol
Like every expansion, they'll release something too powerful to get your money and nerf it a month in.
i love video so much
So this set is the ultimate solo set?
402 represent
Does the companions do skills alone or you can control when they use the skills ?
Only can control their ultimates.
What about the new companions
I don't have much trouble with my companion dying. I love my Bastian but I use him as a healer. Neither of us die very often. Still I need to check out your setups for some ideas. Icyfyre is a legend. What is that polymorph you have on??????
The polymorph is the Soulrazer Knight, it's from the Dark Chivalry crown crate.
I use Ember as a second magicka dps. Im doing Isobel quest now and will probably make her into a tank while Bastion becomes a healer.
The dark elf lady will be stamina dps.
The warden will be a tank and the Arcanist will probably be a healer to.
@@WUZZLYFLUFF TY!
lol....Is my contrast turned up or something
This would be great if I could actually get good gear for my companion. Rng truly hates me.
"NEVER SAY FOREVER" Bugthesda always pulls this same thing they put out VERY VERY COOOOL stuff to get you to run out and buy the the new Chapter. Then they "NERF IT IN TO THE GROUND" AFTER THE PVP PLAYERS START CRYING.
So once again Deltia is trying to get something nerfed by declaring it "GOD MODE". Seems every time he comes out with one of his videos using that description, it gets nerfed within a month. Somewhat still click-baity with the whole 'God Mode' title tho! :p Oh, and no need to waste a slot with the whole cooldown reduction skill because the cooldowns become already outrageously low with quickened and TE set. Just sayin. Nice to see Bastian getting some love tho... now I want to see you do this video with Sharp and Azandar!!
Deltia be cool if can marry we the mara ring that is on crown store
What is this style he is wearing?
Wait would that work in pvp? 8% reduction to skills would be nice
K but why are you about to blow Bastian in the thumbnail? Do we have to see your dinner?
Lol so my ember is already a beast as a tank… so she’ll be a god now?!
hack did a guide on the new companion redguard need fix
