"Who's your end of the world buddy?" I have played few games to which this question fit so well. Mostly cause you [b]will[/b] need one [u]eventually[/u]. For instance I soloed the first psudo-boss like many others. I didn't die but that only because I spent the better part of 20 minutes playing whack-a-mole with the main baddie. This was slowed by his summoning cannon fodder from time to time. This was done on normal difficulty and it is because of this that I foresee a need for companions in later levels just to get by without grinding incessantly to keep your level high enough to not die constantly or play whack-a-mole with what should be regular baddies. So my questions to those who care, "What's your favorite tactic to use when surrounded, out numbered, or simply out matched?" and "What situations have found yourself that should have been easy or at least manageable that ended up turning into the enemy tap dancing on what's left of your skull?"
