Dack_Wiggs Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 (edited) Anyone konw if there is a list or chart that shows what roles (tank/heal/dps) every companion in game used to have before the change? I know we can assign any companion any role now but I would like to know for roleplaying reasons and curiosity. Thanks.

SteelieCZ Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Occasionally when leveling alts I set my comps to roles they used to default to prior to 4.0, so I still remember. To preface this, all companions had a secondary DPS stance you could use at any time (yes DPS companions had two DPS roles, out of which the non-default one always kinda sucked), which was especially amusing with Doctor Lokin who turned into a rakghoul when it was used. Jedi Knight T7-01 - ranged Tank (I don't recommend letting him tank today as his leap has been glitched since 4.0 and he'll just keep grappling enemies instead to get closer to them, likely screwing you out of both melee range and any time you want to use AoE abilities) Kira - melee DPS Doc - Healer Rusk - ranged DPS Scourge - melee Tank Jedi Consular Qyzen - melee Tank Tharan - Healer (just keep him as healer all the time, since his signature Holiday stun is present in all his roles, so as DPS he'll just have two stuns instead of useful abilities) Zenith - ranged DPS Iresso - ranged Tank Nadia - melee DPS Smuggler Corso - ranged Tank Bowdarr - melee Tank Risha - ranged DPS Akaavi - melee DPS Guss - Healer Republic Trooper Aric - ranged DPS Elara - Healer M1-4X - ranged Tank (same deal with T7, has a broken leap, I just let him heal or DPS these days) Vik - melee Tank Yuun - melee DPS Sith Warrior Vette - ranged DPS Quinn - Healer Jaesa - melee DPS Pierce - ranged Tank Broonmark - melee Tank Sith Inquisitor Khem - melee Tank Andronikos - ranged DPS Ashara - melee DPS Talos - Healer Xalek - melee Tank (interesting anomaly for the Inquisitor, as they never had a ranged Tank prior to 4.0, but now you can just force Andronikos or Talos to get shot at!) Imperial Agent Kaliyo - ranged Tank Vector - melee DPS Lokin - Healer Temple - ranged DPS SCORPIO - melee Tank (fun fact: she changes to a ranged character after you begin KotFE) Bounty Hunter Mako - Healer Gault - ranged DPS Torian - melee DPS Blizz - ranged Tank Skadge - melee Tank That about covers it. Personally nowadays I leave melee companions to tank and ranged companions to DPS, with the previously designated healers staying as healers throughout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dack_Wiggs Posted June 9 Author Share Posted June 9 Thank you kindly for this well written and informative post. I also use the companions in their old default roles (most of the time) to keep the roleplaying vibe going. I haven't played the Jedi Kinight and Sith inquisitor classes yet so I still have a few new companions to learn to know. Imperial Agent was the second class I played way back when I started but along the way I must have forgotten that Kaliyo used to be ranged Tank and has used her as DPS. It's back to tank duty for Kaliyo now 😀 Again, thank you very much for your help! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAWUSS Posted Friday at 10:35 PM Share Posted Friday at 10:35 PM I do miss the unique abilities they had (especially HK-51) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThanderSnB Posted Saturday at 08:41 PM Share Posted Saturday at 08:41 PM For anyone that has finished all the companion stories, you can see in the legacy window what the original role was for each companion. On the companion perks screen, the tooltips for each companion mentions their role. It's no good for new players but for veterans who finished all the companion stories, it's a quick reference the original companion roles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
