Joefjr Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 How are you gearing her tank stats priority wise? I'm thinking of going with Defense>Shield>Absorb Also she can use Tech Blades and Staffs but all i can find are Blades with tank stats. My only hope is when 1.2 comes out they give use mod able tech weapons, because honestly it can't be that hard to code it so it takes a barrel instead of a hilt.

Mamae Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Why she didn't get an orange weapon like all the other companions from the Bel Savis daily quest is a little odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battilea Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) How are you gearing her tank stats priority wise? I'm thinking of going with Defense>Shield>Absorb Same as any other tank, pretty much, Absorb > Shield > defense. Why she didn't get an orange weapon like all the other companions from the Bel Savis daily quest is a little odd. Because Aim hilts don't exist.

stephenjohnp Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) There is little point using Scorpio since she's pretty much impossible to gear well. You're better of using Kaliyo if you want a Tank. I personally think Scorpio is the better Tank, but there is little you can do.

All droid parts come in customizable versions as well, and she uses the same accessories/offhand as kaliyo. Only difficulty is the weapon, but just get a good one crafted and you're set.

Only difficulty is the weapon, but just get a good one crafted and you're set. You can get tionese, columni, and rakata gear for Kaliyo, as well as weapons. For Scorpio, well, getting the armor mods at those levels is sort of hard, at least until 1.2. And weapon impossible, meaning you're capped in terms of her weapon's base damage and tech power, as well as aim/end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhaphael Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 True from HM/Ops etc onwards you can't upgrade her anymore (at least not until 1.2 hits) but it's highly likely you won't be using any companion anymore at that point in time anyway, so that's kind of a moot point.

You'll always be using your companions for dailies. Them being better geared just makes it easier for you to solo them. So it is an important point.

Joefjr Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 When 1.2 lands there is a VERY good chance Armstech will be able to craft orange Tech weapons and instead of a hilt it will take a barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narcith Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I've actually been buying bits of Centurion and Champ gear from other vendors since I PVP a fair bit.. ripping the mods I want out and putting them in Scorpio's items that she came with. They are green.. but moddable. Bought a level 50 crafted weapon for her too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brightglade Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 True from HM/Ops etc onwards you can't upgrade her anymore (at least not until 1.2 hits) but it's highly likely you won't be using any companion anymore at that point in time anyway, so that's kind of a moot point. Because of the gearing issue and ranged vs melee, Scorpio isn't even worth using beyond running crafting missions. But see, you -will- use your companions. What will you use when an expansion is launched? Some undergeared companion with low HP and green gear? You are gearing them up and keeping them current for dailies, for emergencies and for future content. I've actually been buying bits of Centurion and Champ gear from other vendors since I PVP a fair bit.. ripping the mods I want out and putting them in Scorpio's items that she came with. They are green.. but moddable. You get two mods out of that, since at the moment we can not extract the armor mods. So currently, you are getting less HP and Aim per mod vs Kaliyo that can take full advantage of any BH gear we give her. My Kaliyo have 19k HP in full Tionese. Someone reported a few days ago that their Kaliyo had 24.5k HP in full Rakata. Try that with Scorpio. Oh, and good luck finding Scorpio a weapon.

Narcith Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Yeah I understand that, I've already geared K as far as I can through PVP.. I don't do much at the moment outside of PVP in the game so wont have access to Rakata grade gear for some time. Scorpio is the second last companion I have to get into a full set of PVP Purples.. next is Vector. I'll get around to getting the PVE gear eventually.. its just a matter of prioritising my time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
