Neeq Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 What companion are you guys using for low levels? I've just gotten kira and i wished to romance her. But the problem is that i found leveling with T7 is pretty easier. Any idea on how can i work on romancing kira and used T7 to level at the same time?

AeetesSixFive Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Some crew skills allow you to get companion gifts and you can raise her affection that way as well. I used Kira into mid 40s kept her gear up to snuff and didn't have much of a problem. But if you do not want to use her I would suggest the companion gifts.

Neeq Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 So is leveling with kira pretty good? As in downtime and survivability compared to other companions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeetesSixFive Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Well once you get your healer it becomes easier, I however was to stubborn to use him at first lol, but I felt like stuff died faster and it didn't take long to heal if I had. Really didn't have any problems with quests and lvled pretty fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casualdeath Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I am currently level 25 and have been using Kira ever since I first unlocked her. I have not had any problems while using her, and things die so quickly I almost feel OP at times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neeq Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 Alright thanks for the replies! Will try them out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFirewind Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Why don't you just use T7 for combat and switch to Kira for conversations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveGarbage Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 So is leveling with kira pretty good? As in downtime and survivability compared to other companions. Other companions fit your needed role better than Kira. You're DPS and so is she. So you get more "group utility" out of T7 (tank) or Doc (healer). Stuff will die faster with Kira as she does pretty good damage if you keep her geared up, but you may have a tougher time with some encounters. That said, I've used and continue to use her since I got her, even though I now have Doc who is the bomb-diggity of healers. I want her for the story and I haven't run into any major issues with leveling with her, mainly because I'm over-leveled for the content, which really, really helps. But when I run into some tough spots I just swap in Doc and everything's great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattieP Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I used Kira until I got Doc. Once I got Doc, I went straight to 50 the easiest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McVade Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) I don't know how folks tolerated leveling with Kira. It was doable, but so much downtime. T7 + Dismiss/Resummon for full health was where it's at. Once you get good at it, 2 seconds downtime tops even after golds. Of course, when you get Doc, that's all she wrote for any other companion IMHO. I think most people who didn't find Doc useful were getting creamed by the Carbonite bug.

Themanthatisi Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) Im LvL 42 and I prefer Kira for most missions and only break out Doc for one on one fights with Elites and bosses.... When fighting 3 or more at one time, I prefer Kira.... also, Im a Jedi, and I want to go on missions with my Jedi companion, to me, it feels better story wise as well. I also think Doc is checking me out too much... lol. Edited January 27, 2012 by Themanthatisi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
