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 :)

My main is a druid.

I played with Wyll (who I multiclassed into Sorcerer at level 3 because that's just objectively better), Karlach and Astarion up until almost the end of Act2. Switched Astarion with Shadowheart at a certain key story point. Not switching back.

It's a pretty balanced group. Wyll does insane damage, Karlach is there to get hit in the face. My main does area control (Spike Growth <3), and Shadowheart is basic support.

+1 for Spike Growth :)

Very similar here. I'm also a druid and was partying with Karlach (barb/fighter), Astarion (rogue/ranger), and Gale (evocation). But i switched out Gale for Shadowheart (light cleric) at the same point as you and haven't looked back. Having Wyll would've been better as I had noone with decent Charisma.

I really should respec out of Moon druid to land or something because its been incredibly disappointing and without Shadowheart I was just playing support and CC, but I just want to wild shape dammit!
