Hello all,

 

I gathered the currently availiable animal companion stats and wanted to know if the perception change (accuracy) would also apply to them, lowering their deflection to very weak values (but adding accuracy). Current stats:

 

Name - -- St Co De Pe IN RS - DEf FOr Ref Will Acc

Antelope 10 10 14 15 05 09 - 036 027 045 016 030 (including +7 to defense)

Bear - --- 15 12 09 13 05 10 - 028 034 024 011 030

Boar - --- 11 16 08 10 05 15 - 030 034 016 021 030

Lion - ---- 13 13 12 11 05 11 - 027 032 026 013 030

Stag - --- 13 10 12 15 05 10 - 030 026 034 011 030

Wolf - --- 10 10 13 15 05 12 - 032 020 036 015 030

 

 

defensive stats are calculated as following:

 

Deflection: Perception + Resolve + 5

Fortitude: 2x Strength + 2x Constitution - 20

Reflex: 2x Desterity + 2x Perception - 20

Will: 2x Intelligence + 2x Resolve - 19 (may be bug)

 

 

If the deflection bonus of Perception is removed stats may be calculated as following:

 

Deflection: Resolve + 15

Accuracy: Perception + 20

 

 

this would change the Animal Companion stats to:

 

Name---- St Co De Pe IN RS - DEf FOr Ref Will Acc

Antelope 10 10 14 15 05 09 - 031 027 045 016 035 (including +7 to defense)

Bear - --- 15 12 09 13 05 10 - 025 034 024 011 033

Boar - --- 11 16 08 10 05 15 - 030 034 016 021 030

Lion - ---- 13 13 12 11 05 11 - 026 032 026 013 031

Stag - --- 13 10 12 15 05 10 - 025 026 034 011 035

Wolf - --- 10 10 13 15 05 12 - 027 020 036 015 035

 

 

It would be nice if animal companions would still receive the deflection bonus on top of an increased accuracy. This could be done by changing the Defelction calculation to:

 

Deflection: Resolve + 20

 

 

Also I wouldn't mind a perk for a saurian or draconic companion (Neverwinter Nights 2 expansion Ranger / Druid) since all current animal companions are, well, animals (slightly boring).

Rhinoceros companion.

Everyone knows Science Fiction is really cool. You know what PoE really needs? Spaceships! There isn't any game that wouldn't be improved by a space combat minigame. Adding one to PoE would send sales skyrocketing, and ensure the game was remembered for all time!!!!!

The exact changes haven't been revealed yet, probably aren't finalized, and haven't even been publicly tested or discussed. I think it's far too early to jump the gun on these kinds of discussions. We have no idea if Deflection has been removed from Perception, for example.

They're finally changing/improving the animal companion? Happy day! I'll hold off replaying the game for a while until they reveal the changes.

"Not I, though. Not I," said the hanging dwarf.

Nothing is known about that.

 

Personally, the only "must-have" thing I want is really different skins for Animal Companions. I want a polar bear for my white-furred The White That Wends Wild Orlan.

 

...oh, and white Orlans. I want that too.
