DesshMorlev Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I am gonna start leveling a Bodyguard Merc, My sawbones scoundrel just went to FoTM so not to excited. My question is anyone that leveled as bodyguard, which companion did you have the best of luck leveling with. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valfodr Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Torian for grind fests, Mako for soloing Heroics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ehlin Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 (edited) I tried pure bodyguard for leveling but I didn't like it. Kills were too slow for my taste. There fore I went for a hybrid spec with points in arsenal/bodyguard. I only went up to Tracer Missile in arsenal the rest were bodyguard. Since I got Torian tho I've been bodyguard spec, he seems to work out pretty well. Not as good as when I was a hybrid, but it still works.

LilTsar Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 gault or torian (dps) for the most part, blizz or skadge (tanks) for tougher fights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nToxiK Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 gault or torian (dps) for the most part, blizz or skadge (tanks) for tougher fights. Gault is terrible for tanking if you go Bodyguard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItGetsAllOver Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Gault is terrible for tanking if you go Bodyguard. If you'll notice, he said Gault or Torian for DPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nToxiK Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 If you'll notice, he said Gault or Torian for DPS. Then who tanks if you're heals and the companion is DPS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilTsar Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Then who tanks if you're heals and the companion is DPS? dont need a tank for trash grinds, the increased speed of a dps pet and you more offhealing than anything is just more fluid. same concept as going full dps as a bodyguard when going against another healer, you just have to adjust your strategy for the situation. same for tank and dps players, for the most part should be able to get by with a dps companion most of the time, or at the very very least a healer in blaster stance (exception being the zombie doxtor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yazule Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I am gonna start leveling a Bodyguard Merc, My sawbones scoundrel just went to FoTM so not to excited. My question is anyone that leveled as bodyguard, which companion did you have the best of luck leveling with. Thanks in advance as stated use dps unless you need a tank or you could level arsenal with mako (heals) faster... depends on your play style, i like to level faster and then respec when i am 50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
