Denman Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 What's everyones opinion on the easiest way to level a BH Merc, with companion choice as well. I've tried several specs and I don't seem to find one I enjoy really. Just wondering on people's thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldshatterhand Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) Arsenal with Mako. Probably the easiest leveling experience in the game. Edited February 19, 2012 by oldshatterhand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wardrich Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Arsenal with Mako. Probably the easiest leveling experience in the game. Seconded. Healer as your first comp off the bat, easy mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prestontx Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Arsenal and Mako FTW. I leveled that way and still do my dailies and such with her. Havent really used anoyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navystylz Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Personally I leveled 24/17 Hybrid spec and used Torian as my companion. My own heals when needed was much more reliable than Mako's and Torian does decent damage as long as you keep buying him weapons of the vendor. Otherwise he wear the EXACT same gear as you, so you can give him your cast offs or side-grades and have him constantly well geared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthVarrak Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I leveled as Arsenal/Mako. At 50 I swtiched to Bodyguard and I do my Dailies with Skadge or Torian, depending on the mobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheZen Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) Dps companion, Bodyguard spec and a tank friend (preferable Powertech so you can dual Gault). Heroic 4? lol just us PT and Merc Heal + 2 gault is enough. Edited February 20, 2012 by TheZen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fujah Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) I'm only 31 but Pyro/Mako has been a great combo. I've been skipping most side quests with this BH (Didn't want to do the same quests that my Assassin did) so with class quests and world quests, they've been orange quests mostly and I haven't had a problem as of yet. Elites are fine. Edited February 20, 2012 by Fujah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crotach Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I levelled as hybrid with Mako and never had any problems. Arsenal up to tracer missile and the heat venting talent (forgot what its called) and then points into bodyguard. Easy peasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormhyde Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 A question like this, on an official forum, will not really help you much. I personally changed to bodyguard at 25 and used gault until I got Torian, then I used him till lvl 46 when I went back to arsenal just to get a change of pace again. I had absolutely NO issues as bodyguard, and soloed every elite and champ I came across, and they were between one level under me, to up to two levels above me. Most all specs are viable to level with. What it comes down too is how fast you want to level, and how you want to play your character. For me, I like healing the most, so naturally I healed for most of my leveling. I would suggest you try each spec for a few levels and make your own call. Also, not matter what spec you go with, keeping your companion's gear up to date is a must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yazule Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Dps companion, Bodyguard spec and a tank friend (preferable Powertech so you can dual Gault). Heroic 4? lol just us PT and Merc Heal + 2 gault is enough. i dissagree, arsenal with a PT friend, double mako is amazing when she is geared... now if only mako would kiss mako Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
