The new companion will be completely overpowered, and I’m here to talk about it. That’s because of a combination of the new unique tuning stone Evernight and also some possible infinite resource generation in Diablo 4 Season 3. Don't forget to bring enough Diablo 4 Gold for your new Season 3 journey.
How It Works?
To start with, I will tell you what is the working mechanism of the companion. You can choose 2 out of 12 active abilities, Each of this 2 abilities can improve by 3 tuning stones. There are 27 different ones to choose from, including 2 unique ones.
Why It Is Overpowered?
Now, I will explain why am I saying it is overpowered. For this, we’ll dive into some of the possible combinations that you can do with the governing and the tuning stones. First, the unique tuning stone 'Evernight'. The supported skill grants you +4 to all skills when used for 2 seconds. Now, it says the support skill when used. The most important keyword is 'for 2 seconds'. If that’s the duration, then I’ll just simply have to find an ability that attacks every 2 seconds.
For Focus Fire, the speed is 3 seconds, and the Seneschal Construct channels a array of fire onto 2 targets dealng 23,878 total damage to each over 3 seconds. That would already be every 3 seconds, and the damage is actually quite insane, which for a Bone Spear build that does a lot of physical damage is quite crazy.
When it comes to Gyate, the speed is 2 seconds, the the Seneschal Construct whirls its legs around quickly dealing 10,347 Physical damage to all nearby enemies. Bone Spear pushes physical damage higher, especially also with your gear, like 20% physical damage plus, and so on. And your Critical Strike Chance plus damage is going to be boosted a lot.
First Powerful Combo
Gyate casts every 2 seconds, which then activates our Evernight glyph every 2 seconds. But that’s only one tuning stone because we can put 2 more on. Let’s assume we’ve taken Gyate over here. That’s our ability. Construct whirls around deals damage to surrounding enemies. Now, if you’re a Barbarian, you could also take Bleeding Support because the support of the skills’ damage is now bleed, which synergizes well with barbarian aspects.
Or to have Burning Support for you so you don’t have to take the Firebolt Enchantment. Then I will talk about is the Breaking Support. The supported skill's damage instantly destroyed enemy barrier effects. In addition, there’s a chance to make enemies vulnerable for 2 seconds.
Second Powerful Combo
Let's talk about your second stone, it is called the Flesh of Adrenaline. Flesh of Adrenaline administers a quick Flesh of Adrenaline into the player, granting him bonus damage. That one can be paired together with Duration Support, where your skill now has a longer duration. With a Tactical Support, the cooldown of the Flash of Adrenaline is reduced. And the Safeguard Support - when used, the supported skill grants damage reduction to you.
Lightning Blot Combo
My favorite one is the Lightning Bolt, which has an immense area effect. And if you pair Lightning Bolt together with Breaking Support, that you’re able to make everyone vulnerable again as it arcs through. But not only that, now you could have the Lightning Bolt go with a Registered Damage Support, where everything again explodes after they die.
So your Lightning Bolt hits, it registers damage to everyone. Everyone has registered damage going on, and then they just mass chain reaction to explode and destroy everything. And on top, you could then decrease the cooldown of the supported skill or slap on Evernight for the +4 ranks because that’s what we need.
Poison Support
However, Druids and Rogues also have some amazing stuff going on because Poison Support - a portion of the supported skill damage dealt is applied as poison damage over time. The poison has a chance each second to spread all poison damage to an additional enemy. So everything you put on this, even as the Rogue or Druid, and then all that poison can spread after you put it on.
There’s one that seems useless at first called Autodefense, where the construct actually gets all the projectiles being shot at you sucked into it. But practically, you’re going into that trap dungeon where the traps shoot at you, and you’re going to be losing your Warding spells or some other things. So it might be useful to have the Auto Defense for more loot, especially as you can reduce the cooldown of that one as well.
Final Powerful Combo
Now a final one you should absolutely be excited about, and that’s Efficiency Support. When the supporting skill deals with damage, you gain Critical Strike Chance to the same target’s hit. Interesting is this one works against bosses, because not everyone works against bosses. If you have Electrocution Support that stuns, but you can’t stun bosses. You can only stagger them. So it’s kind of useless.
Where the Slowing Support, which is cool to have to slow everyone around you, especially if you then can pull people together with the Gripping Support on top, which makes no sense versus a boss. Then with the Efficiency Support, that would be a safe Critical Strike chance. On a Gyate, which does do work every 2 seconds.
And that finally with Evernight for the 4 ranks again to then have your actual Bone Spear build, for example, do even more multiplicative damage to then be creating more. All in all, the possibilities of the construct seem quite amazing, and I’m sure you will be excited about this.
