id have to say worst companion (in my eyes) is old scratch he fizzles alot for me and im max so just saying
anyways wanna chat with me more about it find me in pvp
Disloyal Sam :D

Batacuda. I mean, he has one, and I repeat one, epic. He misses and dies even though he is a buccaneer.

The Cat Ninja used to be the worst in the game. KI improved her some, but she still has only first strike 1 and cheap shot 1 and we don't get to pick an epic. She's still thin on regular talents, but she had no talents at all when I first got her. She does look cool and has nifty epic attack animations.
Now the booby prize goes to the Batacuda. It gets 1 choice of epics, is low on normal talents, and Blind Mew said that mute companions will never get any more talents. Again this is another cool looking companion. The ability to fly does not begin to make up for the shortcomings.
I personally think that P101 would be a better, more interesting game if all companions were roughly equal in power, with the same number of Talents and Epic Talents.

The crab hermit is horrible but at least it can summon a crab. Lenny is absolutely horrible and so is Nurse Quinn but at least she can heal.

Old Scratch on the other hand is not horrible at all. In fact I've taken him into 4v4 PvP matches in the past and he has proven to be quite destructive due to his magical mass attack and multiple attacks. His accuracy is horrible but a non-factor when your troops are all accuracy buffed and/or the other side has their dodges dropped (playing scratch with El Toro and Bonnie is quite an effective team, doubly so if playing a privateer).

Welcome to the message boards Dread Master Xak, As awful as those mute companions are, Dr.'s are a real pleasure to play. Just be careful what side quests you complete and you'll avoid the worst of them.

The secret is that you need to boost his accuracy to get the most out of him, he can be quite the power player with the right talents

I saw the multitude of epicless WD animal companions, and promptly deleted it and started playing my way with a buccaneer, a privateer, and a couple swashes. Basically, I've been ingrained with a deep-seated hatred of WD gameplay.

For you lowbie Scratch-haters: He improves with Mojo Echo.

Oh yeah, even if all of the witchdoctor's companions die because of one of those animal companions, we can still win the rest of battle single handedly, or maybe its just me. Anyone else a witchdoctor who can do that? A witchdoctor's powers are the most helpful one for me actually.

Me I found the batacuda a nice companion (then again, I got him before going to Port Regal). The Sky Snake on the other hand was horrendous. He always missed (even with Second Chance), he did bad damage, and he died more than Kan Po in Cool Ranch. The scorpion was really helpful, The crokogator still has really good stats (though I still feel scammed with Marleybone companions. But on the upside, we get the Ophidian), But the Sky Snake NEVER had a moment of shinning.
Well, at least he make a nice messenger.

In my opinion the worst companion ever is the eagle archer that musketeers get from the Aquila quest "hello walls" She has the least health no matter how many health talents you give her.

Hey hey hey ok! The Eagle Archer is awseome! And by the way Doctor Noh is awesome as well he is my second mate he always hits.
