TyboJames Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Which of the Companions is the best DPS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slivovidze Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Kira, because Rusk's potentially strongest attack is bugged and deals pretty much no damage, which weakens him a lot. Tank and healer companions aren't good DPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Righness Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 agreed Kira is good for dps. Can't take much but then again being dps she isn't supposed to lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaliscoautuick Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) Another vote for Kira. I find the melee dps companions to be the best dps overall, because their attacks are all instant. I don't really like it when a companion is charging/doing a 3 second cast, when the mob just needs one more whack. And, since most mission mobs are easy anyway, you just need quick, fast damage. Agree, the tank/healing companions really do poor dps, regardless of how well they are geared, or how well you "stance" them. they are generally best, at what they are supposed to do. If you try to make them something they aren't - they naturally won't be as good. Though, they could function if you wanted to do that =) Edited June 3, 2013 by jaliscoautuick grammar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had huge issues at first with my Sent, I know it is partially a lack of experience and the way I built him but I got owned by Lord Scourge and also had problems with Valis but when I switched to a guardian/defense build I owned them both on the first go around. My Commando loves Elaro also as I do great dps and she just keeps me alive, love her. So depending on the char determines my preference. Being a soloer this is my where I am coming from but it just depends on the class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myriandore Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Lord Scourge all the way. Build him as a hybrid dps / tank, use his guard stance - and enjoy the show him facerolling packs of 4 mobs. Then loot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elyx Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Most DPS companions are equal for most classes. Knights run into a special situation with Rusk due to the bug where he is under-performing. so I agree with the Kira sentiment. Course, I run heals for the most part, but when I pull a Dipser, its KakakakaKira. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
