Luckeyduckey Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I'm leveling a Sage in the TK/Lightning, same with my friend. I'm not sure if I want to use a DPS, Healer, or Tank. I know we start with Qyzen, and I feel that being able to free cast instead of face tanking would be best. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Najesus Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Well I leveled with Khem untill I got Ashara, used a hybrid spec with the deathmark proc and Ashara on bleed mode, melted mobs rather quickly I must say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashara is a beast! Khem is one hell of a tank but Ashara is such a killer you don't even need a tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werdan Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I was able to use HK from level 1 but eventually just stuck with Khem from my teens and on. I was able to solo just about every heroic (including some 4 man) with him. It helped that I leveled as Cybertech and was able to keep him very well geared along the way.

Is he worth all the trouble? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exiliox Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I have HK-51 on my healer sage at 55, and my 29 sorc is using him, also in heal spec. I have yet to test it in lightning spec--but my sorc is tearing things up since HK kills so damned fast and can take a punch. HK is just a nice option to have...I like Khem enough...but hate almost all the other sorc companions...HK offers you just that...variation. Plus he can be a decent crafter if you decide to shelve him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterGladius Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I use HK both as a healing Sorc and a healing Scoundrel. He is well worth it. Just be sure that if you disable his aggro dump. It is better if the mob hits HK than you. I am still leveling my sorc, but when I leveled my scoundrel, HK was hands down the best option I had. Great DPS AND the same DR as any of the 'tank' options. He even holds aggro better than they do on single targets. Add in Assassinate (automatically kills a silver and lower mob) and the scale tips in his favor without question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosmadness Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 (edited) U dont have "the best" companion...all are good, just choose which fits better with ur playstile. As dps, i use the healer. But its my choice and my opinion. Edited July 21, 2013 by chaosmadness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockaday Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Best dps is Ashara, use talos if you need heals...I wouldn't expect you would though. But eh, it's leveling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitboi Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I'm almost to 50, and it's a toss-up between Ashara and Andro for clearing out routine mobs. More dakka -> things dying faster -> faster leveling. I eventually went with Ashara like most people, sending her in first while i charge up an AOE or DOT. The secret is to keep her geared up with blues and purples and not just the green quest drops... this applies to all the companions incidentally. Khem I reserve for special boss fights or when I'm pulling too much aggro. The healer companion, is more for assassins, and I rarely use him... I could see him being useful for madness specs though.

Telos Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Assassins get royally hosed having to wait till Hoth to get their healer companion. Leveling a shadow is so much easier. No downtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
