Using Doc...(need help with him)

[Rerednaw]

I'm trying to like Doc...really.

 

Okay picked him up a little while ago. Immediately started using him...and started dying, a lot.

Sentinel, tried all 3 specs. Combat isn't really last that much longer, unless I use Watchman spec.

 

I noticed in combat Doc has a tendency to heal himself. Even if I'm at 10% health and he's at 90%+. So I turned off the channeled healing. That worked a bit better.

 

Just for kicks I switched Doc to offense and had him go against a single normal mob that he had 5 levels on. He died.

I've gone back to Kira. With her at least we can burn through mobs.

 

I don't expect a companion healer to keep my topped off, but I'm spending more time recovering after fight with Doc then I do with any other companion, including 2V-R8. I know I have to adjust my playstyle so looking for some tips.

 

Thanks!

 

On a side note, I used him for 3 straight levels...and ESC ed out of many conversations trying different choices...he got all of 100 affection during those 3 levels, putting him at about 4100 (*I gited him to 4k first). Went back to gifting and gave up on conversation affection gain. By comparison Kira just hit 10k.

The revelation of doc healing himself at 90% health and you at 10% health makes investing in the darkside mastery ability more appealable.

Both Doc and Quinn the WORST healers in game. The healing abilities will be on CD with you at 10% and they just keep doing nothing. Treek is worth getting on the warrior and knight classes.
