Key Takeaways:

  • Seneschal Companions offer a variety of abilities and support gems that can be customized and combined to enhance different builds.
  • The companions can scale with your own stats, including attack rating and critical hit chance, potentially leading to significant damage output.
  • There are various synergies and combos to consider, such as pairing poison effects with height and malice for Druid builds or utilizing taunt and shared misery for stunning enemies.
  • Certain tuning stones, such as burning and efficiency support, are likely to be universally useful and can be incorporated into many different builds.

Exploring Potential Combos and Synergies

Wudijo analyzes the different tuning stones and abilities available for the Seneschal Companions and highlights potential combos and synergies. For example, certain builds can benefit from additional resources, making the resource support tuning stone valuable. Rogues and Necromancers, on the other hand, may find the frigid support tuning stone especially useful for its cold damage and chilling effects.

Other interesting options include the poison tuning stone, which can significantly boost poison-focused Druid builds, and the burning tuning stone, which offers enhanced burn damage for Sorcerers. Wudijo also explores the potential of effects like taunt, stun, crit chance, and damage reduction, discussing how they can be utilized in different builds.

Experimenting and Adapting

While exact numbers and details are not yet available, wudijo encourages players to experiment with different combinations and playstyles once the Seneschal Companion is released. He suggests trying out different abilities and tuning stones to find the best synergies for your build and playstyle.

As new information becomes available, wudijo plans to update his guides and provide further insights into maximizing the potential of the Seneschal Companion. With the promise of additional tuning stones and potential season special effects, Diablo 4 players can look forward to an exciting and dynamic gameplay experience.
