AshlaBoga Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Don't hold me to it, but I don't think that it's modifiable. Looking at the screenshots from TorCommunity they look like the weapons do, unmodifiable save for a dye module. I have my comps in the GSF Legacy sets, I know from pics that the gear can't be modified, I was referring to not equipping it all since it's not that good.

JainiaDral Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Probably. But it's working. I'll be on Yavin on Wednesday the second I log on. I'd like to actually be able to solo the Czerka flashpoints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 No one is forcing anyone to use it. Frell. I know I can Aug it to what I want. It will be pretty cool to gear up the whole crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoraFIVE Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Even though the Devoted Allies gear is Rating 192, it only requires Level 55 As I see it, since the gear is legacy bound, one can have Level 60 equivalent gear ready for an alt's companion as soon as they hit 55. If your primary companion can't use your Forged Alliance and Rishi hand-me-downs due to them using a different stat, you don't have to spend your Comms on Rishi mods for them. Now you can just give them this new gear and save those Comms for your own gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MigSebes Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Bioware brings something great, a fast and easy way to get all our companions, and yet people find a way to complain about that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leehambly Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) Bioware brings something great, a fast and easy way to get all our companions, and yet people find a way to complain about that... Indeed - its a shame people cant just be happy for something. Way I see it, I'd like to think BW/EA have possibly seen how well the main/off hand versions have gone down (even if there are a couple of issues with some of them) and have decided to implement the full gear versions. Great idea - cant wait, may have to grind a few Yavin missions in preparation. Edited January 11, 2015 by leehambly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halinalle Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) We get easy and fast way to gear our companions and everyone is complaining? Now we still have to grind to gear our companions but from 3.0.2 it's only 2 weeklies on Yavin 4 and short daily on Rishi = one companion in 192s. And it's all BoL. To me that equals to "we can dedicate more of our time to gear our characters and doing stuff we enjoy instead of endless grind".

DomiSotto Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Please, link to the info! I do Yavin once a week regardless just to stock up on the materials, but if it is also connected to armor sets for companions, oh, my, I will never leave! Please, please, info!!!

For completing the Yavin Weekly - Spirit of Cooperation (Complete 8 Yavin Daily quests) you get 1 complete set of 192 companion bound legacy gear that is level 55. Same idea as the weapon/offhand from the Revan fight weekly or the She who Devours daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlanetLove Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I'm really looking forward to it..... I will use different companions more often instead of pretty much only the melee comp and Treek if I need heals/tank. (getting good gear for all of them used to be a chore and badly geared comps slow you down) 95% Accuracy with 192 rated gear? Yeah, that's REALLY bad itemization. I think I might actually use a 172 Rishi modification mix to balance it out. Looks like good stats for Ashara. 95 % acc. is enough to hit elites and below...perfect for dailies. If you're fighting boss level enemies you can just swap some pieces for accuracy. 0 % alacrity ... have never parsed it but I think melee dps comps have little use for alac. (doesn't help bleeding stance and you'd need a ton of alac. to significantly lower their long ability cooldowns) Her offhand is not fixed? Because in the pic she uses an orange off-hand. Can you also get legacy gear for droids? Tthat would make crafting droid parts (lvl 55+) fairly useless though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screaming_Ziva Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 Bioware brings something great, a fast and easy way to get all our companions, and yet people find a way to complain about that... Because they did it half-assed. Some people really like styling their companions. How would you like it if the BIS player gear went back to being unmoddable so everyone ends up looking the same in-game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cox_The_Beast Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Lovely, I just outfitted thte Comps I use in 186 gear after minmaxing my lvl 60 chars as much as I could with Comms... Yay, more Yavin. Tbh, not sure if I'll bother, 186 is already more than enough for my Comps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I might actually use a 172 Rishi modification mix to balance it out. Late to the party, but outside of FP and Ops bosses, you only need 95% accuracy anyway, so its actually pretty decent itemization there. Of course, its all high endurance stuff, so...

PlanetLove Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Of course, its all high endurance stuff, so... Well, considering companions tend to stand in bad stuff, I like them having high HP. A dead comp means zero damage/ healing / tanking Off-Hands have been fixed. Screenshot here. You can also get legacy gear for droid companions. Cool stuff, Ashara, Andronikus, Vette ,HK-51 and SCORPIO will be so happy (gonna use Bowdaar and Broomark more too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusah Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I don't get why some people are complaining about this. Yeah sure some stats like accuracy are a bit off balance, but if you want stats sorted to that level augments can sort it. Personally i am looking forward to this, especially since their is droid armor. Currently i have full legacy armor, main and offhand weapon sets for tank and heal for treek. I keep an individual set of implants and ear for each spec per char. Now i can just have two complete sets. My first set i will gather will be for HK then both treek, that way i have treek heal/tank and HK dps, so i can have any role comp on any char. After that i will just get a set to keep on my other companions for if i fancy a change. Eventually instead of having just treek i will be able to choose any companion i want. Gearing up all my comps on a sage/sorc/sin/shadow is beyond what i can be bothered to grind for. Now in just 23 weeks i can get my story comps their own gear and shared sets for treek and HK.

eartharioch Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Wear the helmet, ride the bus. The best thing about these armors is the fact that they're unmodifiable so you'll know which people need 192 geared companions to get through the open world content and can laugh at them.

Tsillah Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 It is more a symptom of a small dev team under pressure from a large corporation. IMHO I think that's the answer to many questions about "why did BW do X" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JouerTue Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I'm happy camper about it. If you don't want it then don't do the dailies. Pretty simple. Just a note: I was doing dailies before this. This just sweetens the pot. Y4 dailes credit rewards are horrible..should have raised that poor 4k to 8-10k. it's more profitable just grinding slicing nodes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
