zethraa Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Just wanted to share what I found out about my the companion you get around 34 ish Powertech. He's amazing dps, if you can take damage, and have great gear for both of you. I was using Gault until, I got him,,,and realized Torian can use my Heavy armors as well. So, those of u guys 35 + leveling, give hime a try ...you must !!! Zethra out.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talorya Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) I dunno, never liked the tanking companions due to their crappy AIs against hard hitting elites/champs or any situation with aoes...they tend to just stand there and take the big hits and die quickly... Moot point for me I guess having already reached 50 as a merc, used Mako pretty much the entire time and was invincible throughout the story.

That little creep should get shoved out the airlock for even considering going after Mako, my healer/companion. If given the option, I would do so, and tell Mako I found evidence of him being in league with Tarro Blood from the beginning or something. He's useless to me.

Davvy Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I dunno... I took Torian with my Merc yesterday thru the beginnings of the Bonus quest series on Taris, and he did great until the first couple of Elites. Then he got killed so fast (I tried to heal him but to no avail), leaving me to either finish the battle alone, or die too a bit later. After a couple such mishaps, I decided to switch back to Mako, and things got much smoother from then on. So I'm back to having Mako with me now. I love that healing touch of hers - and her electric choke (don't remember what it's really called) ain't too bad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoloWookie Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 He is melee DPS not a tank so that may be your problem if you are trying to use him as a tank. I am really curious why we get 2 DPS chars with no tanks until the end of Hoth considering 5 out of 6 bh lines could use a tank (especially healers).

Greyshadow Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 He's not bad against other melee NPC's, but I don't like him VS ranged or against Elites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarassMe Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 50 arsenal merc here, never strayed from mako and it was about as easy as levelling gets. now i'm working on an assassin and it's a totally different ballgame... i'm pretty sure that BH's have one of the easiest roads to 50.

Suzut Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) I think Gault does better DPS, but I like having someone in front of me. Plus, he inherits my armor. xD The biggest problem with Torian though is that it's almost impossible to find a good weapon for him under 50. There are no Aim hilts, so there are no orange techstaves. ><" Edited January 20, 2012 by Suzut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoloWookie Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 He's not bad against other melee NPC's, but I don't like him VS ranged or against Elites. I have used him successfully against elite and bosses. When using Mako it is easy to get complacent with her healing. You have to approach them a bit differently but it is very doable.

Bejita Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 i use him for leveling, i dont need makos crappy dps and subpar healing, maybe some lesser skilled people absolutely need her but my time to kill strong and elite enemies was cut in half with torian, and he can tank single enemies whill you mop up the rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DervimNorth Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 The only useful companions are Mako and Gault...Well, Blizz for the laugh of it. But seriously, regardless of weather you're a merc or a PT, Mako is our best healer, while outfitted Gault wipes the floors with mobs and even players, the dude's hits like a truck when he crits, and if geared properly, he crits A LOT.

Kikilicious Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Man, forget Torian. That little creep should get shoved out the airlock for even considering going after Mako, my healer/companion. If given the option, I would do so, and tell Mako I found evidence of him being in league with Tarro Blood from the beginning or something. He's useless to me. Uh, Mako comes onto him.... regardless of gender (I'm a female). All you had to do was to get his affection higher than hers. When hers is higher, she gets intrested in him. I did manage to get his higher, and she never was attracted to him. Not really his fault, but hers (but she's still cool). As for DPS, it's awesome. I'm a pyro currently, and we're amazing together. Too bad the game won't let me keep the love letters though..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doozzer Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Torian is a brick house. As far as the tech staff is concerned, don't worry so much about it- Most of Tor's abilities don't revovle around weapon damage, the tech staff is a stat stick. I was a big fan of Gault and used him almost exclusively once I got him, but once I got him to 10k affection, I had to put him behind the desk to do homework with his biochem crit. Torian is a monster though. All his attacks are typed damage, meaning that they aren't mitigated by armor. He might not look like he's doing a lot of damage with that golf club at first, but put him in bleed stance and let him stack up the hurt, believe me, that boy is a keeper. Not a lot of personality though. Still married him anyways, he cooks, cleans, and murders the hell out of people. I just keep him in the bedroom where he belongs and talk to Gault when I want a conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priska Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 The only useful companions are Mako and Gault...Well, Blizz for the laugh of it.

I'm my own best healer, I use Torian now that I got him (at level 35, I went to Taris to do the class quests only) and he's fine for my tank/DPS. I'm fully spec'd into healing as I level for PvP, heroics and FP's. I haven't used Mako since I got Gault. Although, Mako and I were invincible together. There isn't any one best companion for everyone. It's playstyle dependent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strah Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 31-50 with torian. he's amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueRahja Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Torians weapon is to difficult to keep up to date. Most people that aren't BH haven't even heard of a Techstaff, just assume you are having difficulty remembering its called an electro staff.

DS_Romer Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) As an arsenal merc, I used Mako till Belsavis when i started to get bored of having this crew and only using one of them. I liked Torians talk and dialogue in the video when we had to go see the Sith lord on the ship after that Jedi ambush on Nar Shadda. (spoiler tags due to story line reveal) So I pulled him out, equiped him and really liked him. We burn through stuff quickly. Even elites are no problem if I use my shield and 4 second cc. Anyway yeah, Looking foward to 50 so I can get a good techstaff. Edited January 21, 2012 by DS_Romer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badkittykkr Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I used mako...100% til 50. I leveled pretty damn fast. I tried using the others, but they sucked as tanks and i dont heal worth ****. took me longer to kill an elite with blizz,torian or skadge, than it took me to kill it myself with mako.

teyngodown Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 NONSENSE all of you lol. Blizz is by far the best companion ever, Hands down! Anyone in their right mind who doesn't like a pistol weilding, grapple hook shooting, tank jawa who has the personality of a small child is talking pure nonsense lol. Regardless of how ineffective of a tank he is i love him just because i love him. I'm a guy and play a male character and would marry blizz in a heartbeat if i could lol. OH and BTW where the hell does he pull that rocket launcher from its absolutely mind blowing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhijn Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Tried to play around with Blizz just because its frickin Jawa, but meh not really doing it. Two tanks (even in his dps mode) is just a big setback for me. Torian the kid, gave him my old orange gear and while we did some ok AOE together his personality is just to boring for me. Gault, he is my unlucky charm. The guy always somehow manage to piss of another group of mobs on the otherside of the map and we always end up fighting a mass of angry something. xD Nope! As a PT (Shield), Mako > all others. Tho i was planning on playing some greedy BH Mako somehow turned me to the light. Damn her cuteness & big eyes. :< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zethraa Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 Haha !! glad I opened this can of WORMS *** Before you judge which companion is best,,,please consider your AC. I'm Powertech, so I Tank, Torian dps + he can use my old " Heavy gear" ...winning formula for "ME". None of their personal problems bother me, my goal is to level as fast as I can... ( 1 drawback about Torian....CAN'T find his weapon easy ) and oh, BTW..I''m about to get this Skadge gangstar ) if you use him (Skadge )and winning, pls share...( dont get personal ..ok ) just trying to do my BH job...lol Zeth out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grinkor Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) If blizz had Gault's or Mako's abilities nobody would be using any other companion. Ever. Edited January 26, 2012 by grinkor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
