Wandur Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) I decided to bring the info I've gathered during the SWtOR withdrawal from beta to EGA on companions to here. Some may find it quite useful and I'm sure a lot already know most of it or have a site they'll go to and check if they need the info. The following info is for lazy people like myself that prefer having one site to go to for their information instead of a million For each Imperial Agent companion I'll list their possible role, the gear they can use, their personality, what they like/dislike, if it's possible to romance them and who the voice actor was. Note: This list may not be up to date, if you notice any errors please let me know so I can update it. If you have any suggestions about adding other info or in general, please leave a comment. And last but not least, I'll put this in a spoiler because it a) kinda is a spoiler and b) the list is huge. Kaliyo Djannis: Recruited: On Hutta at around lvl 10 Role: Tank or DPS Primary Stat: Aim Primary Weapon: Blaster Rifle or Blaster Pistol Secondary Weapon: Shield Generator Personality: Dark Romance: Yes Likes (in chat): Disrespecting authorityCasual violenceAnarchy for the fun of it Dislikes (in chat): Self sacrifice for the greater goodSincerityObediencePatriotic spiritBeing taken advantage of Loves (Companion Gifts): LuxuryUnderworld GoodsWeapons Likes (Companion Gifts): Military GearTechnology Crewskill Bonus(es): +10 Armstech Efficiency+2 Underworld Trading Cirtical Voice Actor: Tasia Valenza Special Abilities: [*]Starts with the following abilities: Guard Stance, Distract,Charged Shot [*]Level 09: Storm [*]Level 11: Sniper Sight [*]Level 13: Frag Grenade (Note: Obviously breaks CC, so turn it off if you’re using CC) [*]Level 17: Defensive Blast [*]Level 23: EMP Blast (Also breaks CC) [*]Level 29: Flaregun [*]Level 35: Deploy Shields (She uses this automatically (if set to auto use) when she’s at low health) Vector Hyllus: Recruited: On Alderaan at around lvl 30 (doing every possible quest, I got him at 32) Role: Melee DPS Primary Stat: Willpower Primary Weapon: Electrostaff Secondary Weapon: Generator Personality: Light Romance: Yes Likes (in chat): DiplomacyHelping PeopleExploring alien culture Dislikes (in chat): GreedCrueltyPrejudiceAnti-Alien sentiment Loves (Companion Gifts): Cultural ArtifactsImperial MemorabiliaCourting (from females) Likes (Companion Gifts): LuxuryTrophiesWeapons Crewskill Bonus(es): +5 Bioanalysis Efficiency+5 Diplomacy Cirtical Voice Actor: Ifran Meredith Doctor Eckard Lokin: Recruited: On Taris at around lvl 33 (I got him at 35) Role: Healer (can transform into a Rakghoul and act as a DPS in this form Primary Stat: Cunning Primary Weapon: Blaster Pistol Secondary Weapon: Vibroknife Personality: Grey Romance: No Likes (in chat): Clever SolutionsLong term thinkingTechnologyPragmatism Dislikes (in chat): IdeologyHonestySelfish actions without clear long term gain Loves (Companion Gifts): LuxuryMilitary GearTechnology Likes (Companion Gifts): Republic MemorabiliaImperial MemorabiliaUnderworld Goods Crewskill Bonus(es): +15 Biochem Efficiency+10 Investigation Efficiency Voice Actor: Anthony Cochrane Ensign Raina Temple: Recruited: On Hoth at around lvl 36 (I got her at 40) Role: Ranged DPS Primary Stat: Cunning Primary Weapon: Blaster Pistol Secondary Weapon: Blaster Pistol Personality: Light Romance: Yes Likes (in chat): The EmpireThe SithHonor Dislikes (in chat): CrueltyCasual violenceSelfishness Loves (Companion Gifts): Military GearImperial MemorabiliaCourting (from males) Likes (Companion Gifts): LuxuryRepublic MemorabiliaWeapons Crewskill Bonus(es): +10 Scavenging Efficiency+2 Armormech Cirtical Voice Actor: Georgia Van Cuylenburg Scorpio: Recruited: On Belsavis at around lvl 43 (possible to get "her" at 40 if you rush trough, I personally got her at 43) Role: Tank Primary Stat: Aim Primary Weapon: Electrostaff Secondary Weapon: Shield Generator Personality: Dark Romance: nope Likes (in chat): Learning and gaining new techSelfishnessKilling threats Dislikes (in chat): Self SacrificesDutyWastefulness Loves (Companion Gifts): TechnologyWeapons Likes (Companion Gifts): Cultural ArtifactsMilitary GearTrophies Crewskill Bonus(es): +10 Cybertech Efficiency+2 Slicing Cirtical Voice Actor: Deborah Unger Something to keep in mind when getting a new companion is, that they usually don't have much equipment. So make sure to save some good stuff for them if you want to switch. Update: Added their locations and at what level you may get 'em, also added info on Doctor Lokin (thanks to John-Gerald) Update 2: Changed some info on Lokins transformation since I can not confirm that he can tank. Also added a hint about their gear (thanks to Darthgrace) Update 3: Took the tank info about Doc Lokin out, because it's outdated and/or just not true. Also added Kaliyos possible abilities as a test, if people like that, I'll add it to every class. The ability info is from torhead.com so that credit goes to them Update 4: Changed the romance info to a simple yes or no, since apparently the restrictions are either outdated or simply false. Also updated the crewskill bonuses on Scorpio, thanks for reminding me to Nessirin Now if a mod could move this to the general Imperial Agent forums instead of here, that would be awesome (I even say please!)

dudafett Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 its a bit disappointing we dont have a companion with cybertech bonus... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ldyshecat Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Makes me sad that they don't have a romance for a dark sided female. I"m going to be loveless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_Reaver Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 This should just be under IA not operative Why there are 2 light side romances and not 2 dark side romances is beyond me. If anything every single empire class should have one for each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crawler Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 i wonder.. if you follow dark path can you normally use light followers and jsut "bribe" them with gifts? or they simply wont join you ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoris Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Around what level does Scorpio come into play? And based on past experiences is Scorpio a more effective tank than kaliyo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linbel Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 oh that is a bot disappointing, only one romance possible for female toons and that one light sided. seems a bit unfair really:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John-Gerald Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 You might want to add where (and at what level) you will find them. Kaliyo Djannis - Hutta - lvl 10ish Vector Hyllus - Aldaraan - lvl 30ish Doctor Eckard Lokin - Taris - lvl 33ish Ensign Raina Temple - Quesh - lvl 36ish Scorpio - Belsavis - lvl 48ish levels are based on the level of the area. You might be able to get them a bit earlier. You might also want to add that the Doctor can morph into a tank-raghoul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrekorSilverfang Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 oh that is a bot disappointing, only one romance possible for female toons and that one light sided. seems a bit unfair really Eh dark/light sided doesn't really matter. It's their base personalities that matter more. I'm full light (Light III now!) with Kaliyo(listed as "dark") and she agrees with nearly everything I do.

settledown Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 i wonder.. if you follow dark path can you normally use light followers and jsut "bribe" them with gifts? or they simply wont join you ? Your light/dark alignment has very little impact if you choose the right dialog options to gain affection with a particular companion, outside of your light/dark choices. Light/Dark choices also will rarely cause you to lose affection, and when they do it's very little. Building companion affection is not remotely difficult if you know their likes/dislikes.

Darthgrace Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 As to Doctor Lokin, he is a healer or melee dps, as Rakghoul the tooltip says lowers threat generation by 25%, same as healing. Got him level 32 (which was slightly early) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandur Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 So, finally got the Doc myself, is his tanking form a higher level one or am I missing something? (at 35 he has the healer form and a DPS form, the DPS form being the rakghoul which decreases threat generation by 25%) And, since I'm getting more and more of them, what would you guys think of adding their special abilities? (e.g. for Kaliyo the grenade, her 2 stances, ae taunt, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolvaj Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I do like that even as a LS, I'm able to romance Kaliyo. As of last night, I've even slept with her. All of this was done without ever choosing one [Flirt] option, and no DS choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthgrace Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I would bet that in beta the doc rakghoul form may have been for tanking and was since changed to dps in the release version. I'm liking using him as my main companion, geared him out pretty well now he heals like a champ. I would certainly recommend filling his empty gear slots before using him as most of it is empty when you first get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthgrace Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Just a couple updates, Ensign Raina is recruited on Hoth. Scorpio is recruited on Belsavis at level 43, although I was able to rush through it at 40 to get her, she is ranged, with tank and dps capabilities.

BossBuriza Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Having a hard time here chosing a companion. I just got Ensign Temple and am lvl 40 sniper. Have been using Vector all the while. He has been great, but at times I feel like he is week, to be honest a tanky companion is more ideal for IA. Should I go for Ensign Temple then? Im sick of having to organize all the gears for all my companions >< and just wanted to focus on one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darthgrace Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I'm 45 right now, have all 5 of them, and the only companion I use is Doc. For levelling it's great, I never have to stop and heal up, gold elites 3-4 levels above me are cake, most of my levelling is done in zones 2-3 levels above me and I have no problem with doc, I tried others such as the tank Scorpio, but she just doesnt have the longevity, having to heal after every pull, and dying to many gold elites even after gearing her up with blues and purples. And the great thing about doc, gearing is easy, when I get a slight upgrade, I put my old piece on him, so he is decked out with orange, blue, and purple gear and heals like a champ. Soloing is easy with him in his healing stance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferencze Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) Actually Vecotr is romanceable, you just need to make diplomatic and "helpful" choices when you have him out. I am darkside 3 and he thinks I am the bees knees (9275/10000). I put him away when it will be mission turn-ins I know will tick him off. Same with Kaliyo, put her away when I will be making non-snarky decisions. Thus far I have used Kaliyo the most, all the way up until SCORPIO. You just need to shift the way you work with her a bit and she works out pretty well (use of stuns, etc.).

BossBuriza Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 thx guys for the insights... i think i will role with both doct, and kaliyo(tank), sometimes im having difficulty killing champion with doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockcrazy Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 When I got Doctor, I haven't used any of the others again. I respecced to concel from medic to use it. Loving it, but I haven't got my last 2 companions so don't know how they stack up against the Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawler Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) got doc recently,geared him a bit and i just dont seem to be able to work with him. Sure heal is nice but he has no damage and coz i tank cant use backstab, drop in dps is huge. SO while i need to heal Kaliyo its still faster then having so much lower kill speed (maybe on green mobs doc is better ...) - hint outdoors mounting reset hp so it can be used as fast heal . +doc has no aoe and as we dont have much aoe this turns out bad. Finally elites - if i just tank the elite doc cant rly keep me up so i need to drop a heal on myself too .... this makes the fight loooooong . With Kaliyo i just nuke the elite and drop few healls on her (3-5) due to incisive action it doesnt rly lower my dps. Or i jsut can let her die and res after . With her the kill is like twice faster? so i dont rly know how you guys play that doc is so good for you...

Shockcrazy Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Well the Doctor is using my old gear every time I upgrade, so he heals for a lot. Most of the time, I can't back stab unless I stun them. Acid blade, things melt quick. Operative is truly a late game class, people weren't kidding. The higher you get, the stronger you are in melee. I haven't had any troubles with elites but I also have biochem so my consumables also heals my companion (Pro tip - it can battle rez your companion).

Brightglade Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 With Kaliyo i just nuke the elite and drop few heals on her. I'm a medic and I love Kaliyo. Expand her mini ability bar to one of our side bars, toggle on or off AOEs as needed so you dont break CCs and adds stick to her like glue. Make sure to have her Taunt disabled so you can use it as needed. In areas where you can AOE, her Frag grenade along with ours, makes short work of groups. Again, this is from a medic's point of view. A sniper or McStabby might not enjoy her as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
