Tangenobi Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Sgt. Rusk- my main companion as he does the most dps out of any of my comp. I use him mainly for 3-4+ mobs no elites, or one gold elite, or silver elites. Doc- for hardcore fights that cannot be done without heals. Kira Carson- for regular ranged mobs. or one elite.silver. Lord Scourge- For ranged mobs and packs of regular ranged mobs with a ranged elite silver. T-7- sits the bench. C2-N2- um yeah.. All of my companions are orange-Mod geared and I'm lvl 45 atm on my Sentinel. What about you all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andanas Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I pretty much just use Kira. Doc doesn't heal until I've got 1/3rd life left, by then it's too late. And that's even after I turned off all his offensive abilities, and took away his guns. He still didn't take the hint. Rusk & Scourge I've never used once. I can't afford to buy a bunch of orange mod gear with credits, and with the commendations I only have enough to gear myself and one companion.

Maidel Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I used kira exclusively after I got her. I found the droid annoying and as much use as a wet paper bag in a hurricane. Once I got doc I dropped kira for the whole of balmora and quesh. However I was reading today about how much doc actually slows you down. It's the game on easy mode, but slow mode. I tried it all tonight, basically I run around the open world with kira and swap out for doc as I near the end of the quests as the silvers and golds mount up. To the person who says docs not healing them, I did the following and he heals me straight away, to the point where he does bugger all shooting: 1) turn off carbonised stream, it takes 8 seconds and he uses it way too much. 2) ensure he is in medic stance 3) when you jump into combat, make sure it's not over a ridge or round a corner, otherwise he migh not have Los to you.

FalcoLombardi Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I only used Doc once on Belsavis I think it was. Always used Kira as a Guardian Tank, how can you not use someone that asks the important questions? I wanna know, if you mash Hoth together with Tatooine if it makes a decent planet with nice weather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anundir Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Now that I have started raiding I use Lord Scourge almost exclusively. I put all my PVP and DPS gear on him and turn off all taunts with the exception of that AOE heal one and let him beat on things in his Columi gear. I only use Doc only when I am soloing Heroics or something hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faolon Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) Kira, unless it's a champion. In which case, I whip out Doc. Though I had to use Doc for a couple of the Voss quests. There are these monsters and humanoid NPCs in a cave that just hit like trucks. Let me put it this way: I had a harder time with these, than I did with pretty much everything in my class story. As for gear, only T7 has any orange gear. It's stuff I found either questing or through treasure hunting. Everyone else just uses the best of whatever I can find. I only choose their specific gear as rewards for quests when they're vastly better than anything else. Edited January 31, 2012 by Faolon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedroni Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 As a Sentinel, if I use anyone but Doc against more than three normal mobs (two if one's a strong tier), I'm in for a hard fight which I'm likely to lose. Unless I'm only fighting one or two mobs. Then I can use just about anybody. Even T7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radocon Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I pretty much use kira 95% of the time. T7 i use every blue moon and i almost never bother with doc. Not even bothered to gear him up. Only reason t7 is geared was for the final fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itchy_Bum Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Now that I am fairly well geared still only 2 rakata pieces as I got pwned on HM EV rolls:( I use Kira more and more, especially since she has a dancing girl outfit and a pink lightsabre crystal... oh and 15.8k HP:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psybin Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 For levelling and questing I used T7 until I got Doc. T7's a great little tank and does fairly respectable damage. But after getting Doc I used him exclusively, and still use him for dailies and whatnot. I found that using Doc gives me the best survivability, and ability to kill more with usually zero down time between. I've never had any issues with him not healing me. I even have his offensive abilities on as I find them handy, and they don't seem to effect his ability to heal me. I also play on a PvP server and have found that having Doc out has saved me so many times. By the time enemy players notice the heals it's usually too late, or at the least I stay alive a lot longer than I should or they expect. Sentinels work very well with spam heals. Also gearing up Rusk now for pure DPS duties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
