Grooz Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Running quinn on a tank build sounds horribly slow. I run vette and anhi maurauder most of the time, just to keep the pace fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghettogenius Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) I run with Quinn sometimes. Hes better for some encounters that can drag on where I need sustained healing. Otherwise I roll with Jaessa, because having my own dark sith sex toy at my disposal is just too much fun. Two sabers are better than one.

Tsavvy Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I like vette. Quinn is a tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achromatis Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Question gets asked a LOT, lol. Check the Jughead forums. But if you pick a DPS companion make sure to keep them geared up(this is true for any class really). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallach Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Run Vette unless you're soloing champions or soloing H2+ quests. Quinn will only slow you down on anything weaker. Put it this way - if you feel that the content is pressuring you to use Quinn because you're just taking so much damage every pull, do it. Otherwise, leave him on the ship.

Sallakat Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 After leveling up BH with Mako I got used to having a healer around so I've ran with Quinn for almost as long as he's been with me. And since I play female toons (and am a female) this is my first real opportunity to get flirty and make out with a companion loool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergulch Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Run Vette unless you're soloing champions or soloing H2+ quests. Quinn will only slow you down on anything weaker. Pretty much this. It depends on the fight, but if you're a Jugg and tanking Heroics, then you want Quinn. If you're just running Daily's then Vette is the way to go. As always, make sure they are geared up with Cunning gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verfallen Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 (edited) As pointed out : best survivability of the team is obviously tank/healer combo. Tank/dps can also work even for tougher content, but on a different math. Basically, can you and your DPS companion kill them faster than they kill you? In your typical 2 strong 1 elite heroic, answer is prolly yes. I've soloed a few with Vette and a carnage mara back then while only being a few level above the H2. (carnage lack survivability compared to annihilation, nvm Immortal jug) If its a champion tough, time is not your best friend. THAT said, I've soloed a champ on a quest with my Guardian and Kira Carsen last week. Note that I burnt all my CD, a medpack and ended the fight with less than 1% health left (managed to slightly heal with the recuperation ability to not die to a last DoT tick). And I was 5 level over the champ. So yeh. Keep Quinn nearby for stronger content, use a DPS for regular questing.

Elyx Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 My first Jugg was Vengance. Rolled with Quinn when I got him, never looked back. My second jugg is solely Immortal. Been leveling with Vette. so far it's not been bad. just hit Alderaan. you do run into times where even with a tank spec you take damage that vette can't heal. I find Biotech to be a nice balancer. endless use med pack on level very easily make up the difference. Quinn is saved for nasty fights when my immortal would take too much damage. but honestly, haven't even used him. defensive CD's last long enough to take most elites down. But in spite of this, I do see more downtime on my immortal with Vette then my Vengance did with quinn. Healer companions are sorta OP IMO. but the damage isn't something that I can't get past. running vengance with no heals sucks. but you don't see too much of a difference until your mid 30's in the specs. Tank = Vette DPS = Quinn Honestly, you could probably run with a rabbit as your companion, and fight al your battles with a toothpick. wouldn't be easy, or enjoyable tho. the combinations above make the process smooth enough that you can enjoy the class.

darkbebe Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 After you hit lv50, maybe lv47 or so, you don't have a choice. You need to use Quinn otherwise you die in solo if you are in tank spec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

False. I used Vette all the way till the end and had no issues taking on any solo content anywhere. I ended up at the same level of health regardless of which companion I chose since it took me so long to kill a mob with Quinn (and on-level he can't keep up with the dmg unless he is better geared than I am!) and Vette helped kill it quick. Jaesa is good too, but Vette is my "wife".. and she gets *****y when I want some Sith bonding time. Besides... Quinn is a douche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanetheDarkLord Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Running Quinn is much slower, but for harder mobs or bosses, he keeps you alive. I never really bothered with Vette, just didnt like her that much. I mainly like Quinn for the conversations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FyveS Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I ran with Quinn for a while but as everyone has pointed out, it's very slow going. Since I picked up Pierce, I play with him 99% of the time in his Sniper mode. He does decent DPS, mobs die quick and I don't have to worry about his survivability due to his heavy armor. I only pull out Quinn on boss mobs that I've already died on with Pierce and even then, that's maybe 1 out of 10 bosses that I have to get Quinn out. (On the enjoyment level, being a woman, I prefer the eye and ear candy of Pierce over Quinn.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whoatemytoes Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Now, I didn't do this on my warrior (marauder) because she's my first character and I felt like I got pummeled without constant heals. But when I leveled my mercenary, I just stuck with Torian until my health dipped low, pulled out Mako for a fight or two, then swapped back - with him at full health and myself pretty high up too. I'd imagine especially on the tank jugg you could easily go a few fights with vette out, swap to quinn to heal vette and yourself without having to channel (much). In my mind its worth it as it felt faster on my BH, provided you don't mind keeping 2 comps available and not running missions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinron Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I use Vette on tank spec. Quinn is just slow. I will bring out Quinn once in awhile duoing heroics and want the extra healing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
