Who are your companions? Do you switch during gameplay?

I’m currently in act 3 and remain using Shadowheart, Lae’zel and Astarion.

Anyone else uses other companions?

Edit: by the way, my main character is a Monk named Jef :)

Game 1:

Druid (forgot which spec but I hated it), Lae'zel, Wyll, shadow

Game 2 (dark urge): Paladin (veng, wanted to do oathbreaker but never broke my oath), Karlach, Astarion, Gale

Game 3 (tactician): Druid (spore, loved this one), shadow, Wyll, Gale (necromancer)

Game 3 was the most fun comp because I had like 40 summons. I planned to respec Wyll to druid for MORE summons but I just like warlock so much...

So far rogue and barbarian have been my least favorite classes but I only used the character's default specs. Warlock is by far my favorite and I really like late-game Cleric, too.

Did managing so many summons in combat ever get tedious? My party size never exceeded like seven.

Yes. Absolutely. The worst is when you can't do anything with a summon except move it...or when you have to shuffle them around to allow your character to move.

When I wasn't prepping for a boss I usually had 4-5 summons total but I went all out for big fights. You're pretty unstoppable when you control the action economy like that. On the ketheric fight for example, I forced phase 2 before his turn started. Summons on the adds and my party on ketheric.

I don't think I'd do it again because the novelty wore off by the end but it's kinda fun!
