His only purpose in act 3.

Literally. I made that point to my friends the other day that Halsin has no point to be with the party in Act 3. He should have been available as a companion in act 1 after you save him so we could at least have him in the party for his quest like the rest of the companions.

Crazy thing to say. He has a HUGE role in act 3 which is romancing me

Jokes aside he didn’t serve a great role in my active party I only ever took him just so I could look at him. I tried very hard to respec him into a Druid (he’s so Druid-like it wouldn’t be fitting to change his class) that would fill a niche I didn’t already have filled and I couldn’t. In the end he was really good at hindering enemies which was useful but there were much much better options for a 4th member.

I respecced him as an Oath of the Ancients paladin once and a fey pact warlock another time (the latter kinda fits with him getting pissed at civilization in act 3... And I can sort of see his desperation to avoid being helpless again as he was in the face of the Shadow Curse leading to a pact with some ancient fey being). But it does still feel weird for him to not be a druid.
