Neverdyne Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 It makes a huge difference once you hit around level 35 and above. I'd say you should spend more on Quinn's gear than yourself. What I did was simply get a complete set of custom gear (it can even be your left over custom gear) and add blue crafted mods, armoring, and enhancements. This made him heal a lot more, to the point where I was finishing fights with full health and had no downtime at all. I was even able to solo heroic 2+ missions (using cooldowns though).

Superdude- Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 It's the truth. Having anyone except Quinn, minus the final class mission, made questing next to impossible. Proper CC and use of Cloak of shadow and saberward with heals make leveling easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proper CC and use of Cloak of shadow and saberward with heals make leveling easy. Its not the truth at all. I did the whole thing with vette, used quinn for a couple of missions when I got him, same with jaesa, preferred Vette. I did the last two class quest ending big fights with her too. The OP's advice is right, but needs modifying. Whichever companion you decide you want to use, keep them in level appropriate gear. I got vette in orange gear early, upgraded her just as I did myself with commendations/credits getting the highest level mods from planet vendors before I left for the next planet.

Arotar Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 It's all about how updated you keep your companion. I used Vette exclusively up to the point I got Jaesa, then I switched to her. the only real time I used Quinn was when he betrayed and tried to kill me.

Veluthurk Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I think play style has a role too. I'm leveling a Marauder right now and just hit 16 and I dearly miss the pocket healer that Mako was for my BH. When do we get Quinn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veluthurk Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I hoped it was Balmorra, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takarazuka Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I like using Quinn, but I don't want to become reliant on always needing a packet healer in order to play my class. I like keeping Jaesa out a lot as well and make sure I am not just bull-rushing mobs with no thought to what I am doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veluthurk Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) I like using Quinn, but I don't want to become reliant on always needing a packet healer in order to play my class. I like keeping Jaesa out a lot as well and make sure I am not just bull-rushing mobs with no thought to what I am doing. Because using a pocket healer = no thought to what I am doing? Choice of play style is how I see it. edit. p.s. I'm old school Arms Warrior who also loved having a pocket healer in AV.

Takarazuka Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Indeed.... just a playstyle choice there. I also don't keep him out a lot due to a stupid bug where if he is med scanning you and you mount in the middle.... that green glowing effect stays on your body and won't go away unless you relog.

infestedchris Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 The thing about Quinn that I found early on. He wasn't healing all that much in my mid 20's. When I was about 35 - 40 Quinn gets new heals. And let me just tell you. If you gear Quinn and once you get 35 and Quinn gets new heals. He becomes a AWESOME healer. Right now I am Carnage with Quinn. I don't need anything else. I got a great rotation with my Carnage spec. Usually Quinn will aggro 1 or 2 mobs while I burn 2 off the bat. Then I pick up the aggro. Quinn can take hits too. He will survive a ambush of mobs if need be. Force Scream and Smash are my favorite skills. The stun and the talents to bring the cool down shorter and makes it 100% crit. I can't live without it. Like Carnage with all my stuns I have I take like no damage and Quinn just heals me just fine. Just gear Quinn if you want to stay Carnage. He gets GODLY!

infestedchris Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Oh by the way you want to avoid gearing Quinn with Accuracy. You want the stat Alacrity this stat will increase his healing. So just avoid the accuracy gear, that's for people like Vette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drankathar Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I dont use Quinn, never liked the smarmy jerk from the moment I saw him. Think I used him for the planet after I got him to test him out then changed back to Vette. Having a healer is good but I prefer the dps from Vette over him.

AzraelCales Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 All the companions hold their own very well as long as you have them geared. I'm really enjoying using Broonmark and Lt. Pierce right now at 44 and they both Tank nicely. You honestly don't need Quinn if you have your tank companion distracting the elite mob while you destroy the weaker mobs then move to the elite. I actually solo'd a couple of the lvl 36 Heroic 4 man's on Taris using them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
