Havmercy Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 im having a difficult time as a deception assassin finding the best pet. Khem val dies way to easily now even with the greens i get from quests. i have tried telos for a while but it takes forever to kill things and on elites he cant keep up with the damage. Any guides or help would be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guertyras Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Had the same problem , class quest are becoming impossible to solo with this deception build, some elites just deal too much damage. Unfortunatly asking for help for your "solo" quest you only receive sarcasms and laugh. So the only solution is to respec it to a tank darkness build, but alas that means finding another set of gear with + absorption. No really the deception build is good on pvp although far from trooper or operative dps, but in pve its the pain in the ***. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beleal Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I'm a tank spec so didn't really run into too many problems, other than us getting our healer at around level 40. I do have guildies that are deception now but leveled as madness using Ashara then Talos because it was easier to do. I wish they would change up the companions a little for SI it seems they lean to the sorcerer side a little much and leave us sins hanging.

Razzax Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I'm deception spec using Talos (fully geared with level 40 pvp oranges) with a shield gen, turn on dark charge only on elites and I don't loose any health ever. I can even take on 2 elites with good cool down/CC management Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJCobbSalad Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I'm deception spec using Talos (fully geared with level 40 pvp oranges) with a shield gen, turn on dark charge only on elites and I don't loose any health ever. I can even take on 2 elites with good cool down/CC management +1! Deception + Talos is pretty OP. I can solo gold elites 3 levels above me fairly easily with him as my companion, dude has awesome heals. Before I got Talos I was pretty miserable, and when they briefly took him away back whenever that was in the quest line I was so pissed, thank god they give him back once you finish whatever that class quest was.

sTARk_TRF Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Talos FTW. In my opinon he has better and bigger heals then the droid. I don't know if this is impressive but I solo'd a 40 champion at lvl 42 with Talos. Only got as a low as half hp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theysay Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) Talos may be a great healer, but so are many of the other healers. Dude is so totally homosex though, ugh. Not that I'm a homophobe, but omg he is beyond annoying. I can't decide if he is more annoying then the robot, which i am FORCED to listen to every time i travel. everytime he speaks during combat it makes me want to BASH my head against to wall. GOD that flamboyant "OOOOH WE LIIIIIIIIIIIIIVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED" among other's is SO *********** IRRITATING. my god, i hate him with a passion. if only i could delete all his voice files Edited January 10, 2012 by Theysay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otterfreak Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) I leveled as Deception to 50 and rarely had problems save for the last boss. Used Khem Val until I got Talos. Make sure your companions and yourself are geared properly, CC is your friend, use Mind Trap to set up your fights, dont bother with Lacerate (waste of force) and make use of Low Slash/Electrocute to setup your Mauls when it procs. When you're in a tight spot I found Force Shroud/Deflection to be useful (saved me in some crucial boss fights). Don't be afraid to pop med packs, make sure Talos is in his healing stance. Can't really think of much else to tell you. All the best! Edited January 10, 2012 by otterfreak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordbishopX Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) I hope it's not that bad lol I like Andi for harder mobs atm I can kite and his range dps keeps up the pressure/damage on the mob while my cool downs are down. I guess any of them would work but companions that have range just stay alive longer out of AOE. Deception in dark charge mode isn't super squishy and still packs a punch but man I wish I had a real healer companion lol.

Spigotwelder Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) I went all the way to 50 as deception with only Khem Val, you just need to manage your/his taunts and make sure you're killing the right targets Edited January 10, 2012 by Spigotwelder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordbishopX Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I went all the way to 50 as deception with only Khem Val, you just need to manage your/his taunts and make sure you're killing the right targets Anyone can get to 50 with any pet it's about play style you enjoy I hate taking massive damage or having to resummon or heal after fights and Khem takes damage up the arse or you have a super version I don't lol. Mostly against strongs and elites I don't want to have to manage my companion or even worry about em in my book playing other classes that's the case for sure.

Hethroin Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Rerolling shadow with a few other people who are sick of huttball 24/7 I found out the most disturbing thing: The Consular gets the non-droid heal pet at level 25 on Nar Shadda. I immediately had a flash-back to Nar Shadda and running around tank spec with the droid healing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
