In The Elder Scrolls Online, Companions can assist you in combat. Bastian Hallix is a Dragonknight-like Companion that can fulfill every role in the game, from DPS to Tank and Healer. In this guide, ArzyeL Gaming shows you the different options you have and how to get the most out of this special NPC.

In general, Companions are helpful in easier content, and you can
use them as an extra body to dish out damage or draw attention. Companions will
be very helpful to new players, but they are not something you want to bring in
harder content. Their role is to assist you but not defeat enemies for you.
Overall, Bastian is weak as a DPS, and he is not great at Tanking
either. However, he can be an asset in a support or Healer build.
Magicka DPS (Destruction Staff)
Gear Setup
Magicka DPS is the best DPS build
for Bastian so far. You can use all light armor with two Quickened pieces for
better skill cooldown and everything else Aggressive for better damage.

Setup
Drake’s Blood is an
excellent self-heal ability that also reduces incoming damage.
Searing Weapons is a skill
that buffs the light and heavy attack damage of you and Bastian.
Destructive Blast
deals good direct damage and knocks back enemies (Fire staff).
Fiery Flail lashes enemies with a strong
flame attack and sets enemies Off Balance.
Scorching Strike is a direct
and DoT damage skill.
Unleashed Rage is Bastian’s
Ultimate that deals severe Flame damage and stuns enemies.
Companions can’t use the same armor sets as players, so you need
to farm Companion gear in any Zone. The drop rate of Companion gear is super
low at the moment, and it will be more difficult to get gear with a good Trait
and quality. The best and fast way to get decent armor for your Companions is
to buy from Guild Trader using your ESO gold. However, Companion gear is costly in the
game, so if you don’t have enough gold, you can buy ESO gold on MmoGah, the best place to buy safe and cheap ESO
gold.
Stamina DPS (Two-Handed)
Gear Setup
This build uses a good execute ability to finish low-health
enemies. You can use all medium armor with two quickened pieces and the rest
Aggressive.

difference is the Dual-wield weapons. Additionally, this build is better for
dealing with groups of enemies thanks to the Spinning Steal skill.

setup as the other two Stamina DPS builds. However, you can experiment with a
different Quickened/Aggressive ratio if you wish. This is a good and safer
build because it allows ranged DPS.
