Well as i love the damage dealing companions especially swashbuckler sorts, I have to go with Samocles, he has some awesome graphic hits and does a ton of damage if you set him up right on his epic abilities. He does on average 500 hp hits. He dodges well and if you give him riposte 3 i feel for the NPC's attacking him cause he will annihilate them. 2k hp aint bad at 67 either. He does have weaknesses though as most companions do. Doesnt fair well against witchdoctor class or musketeers but then again who does? I like Zeena too but i was really hoping for the centaur archer princess instead much neater graphics and visually much nicer to look at then a bird lady LOL. I was dissappointed in Marleybone with the companion selection they chose. Both the engineer and the Dog you get for swashbuckler were way below average in terms of the level of damage and capabilties that most of my other companions had. They were very limited in abilties and attitude. I like Ratbeard's comments and monkey kings funny humor as well as Bonnie Anne's calming and level headed comments. The new companions lacked personality!! Having to wait till 65 to get Zeena and Samocles was kinda harsh too would have been nicer to get them at the point we could have used them to better advantage like say when you first get to Nova Aquila. When i got Samocles and zeena i was already done with the main story line quests and had my map piece. So for future reference KI please give us companions before the end of the story. I understand some people just dont follow side questing to that point but these particular 2 companions couldnt be gotten until you reached level 65 and had finished certain side quests. Correct me if im wrong.
