Yeah, I've experienced both of these. You can fix the force armor glitch in a FP by exiting the area and going back in, but it can still happen again. Another horrible glitch I've been getting lately is where my in battle rezz sends people outside the FP instead of rezzing them right there. Defeats the purpose really.

Valiance is awful. If you're truly going to play a sage healer, you will get free noble sacrifice procs all the time.

Nadia is not a tank, just so you know. She's melee dps. While it might not be as ideal for you to use her, my good friend is a shadow tank and used her exclusively as soon as he got her.

Maybe it's just me, but I love Tharan. However, I do fully agree that Gaiden-Ko and Hollow Voice should have been companions. I would have liked for them to replace Zenith and Iresso. Those two have the least connection to the overall consular story, in my opinion. Nadia is your padawan, Qyzen was close to your jedi master, and Tharan used to travel with Also, I didn't think Gaiden-Ko had force powers other than his visions, did he? It never really said one way or the other.

My Nadia was using a single bladed saber for awhile because I could just give her my hand me downs instead of seeking out a new saberstaff. I think it's odd that there are no force healers and (I think) only one force using tank. Also, it seems the universe has more female force users than male ones, if companions are anything to go by. I think I would have preferred to have a male padawan, so that I could have had a different female romance choice. (Even though I like Nadia, I still think romancing your padawan is a little weird).

My Nadia is geared so well compared to the rest of my companions, that even if I didn't want to user her I would almost have to. And this isn't because I've favored her, it's because she gets hand me downs. Or when I get pieces from hard modes or ops that I already have, she gets some new gear. She has almost 17k hp now. Makes dailies a lot easier. Note: I also used her almost exclusively once I got her. Yes, it would have been nice if she had a couple taunts, but I did just fine. The damage of her unique aoe abilities is fantastic.

I thought the class story was fine. Not amazing, but fine. And for the record, Balmorra was the worst planet, in my opinion. Zenith's inclusion as a companion makes no sense to me. Him and Iresso should have been replaced by Gaiden-Ko and Hollow Voice.

The only one that bothers me for some reasons is when people call their companions, 'pets'. I don't know. When I see someone say that, I cringe a little bit.

Yeah, I pretty much viewed it the same way as the first person to respond. He love trophies, but only those he has earned. But another thing. Iresso doesn't like military gear, despite being our only companion in the military. And Tharan likes luxury more than technology. And Zenith likes imperial memorabilia, despite rabidly hating them. (I can sort of understand this one, although it still seems odd to me. I wouldn't collect nazi memorabilia.)

Great job on the guide. I've been meaning to try either a trooper or BH healer, so I will definitely bookmark this. Also, just an fyi, the sage/sorecer aoe heal has a limit of 8 targets. The description doesn't say this for some reason.

Chances are, he probably won't show up in your story again anyways. When redeemed he: So I wouldn't be too worried about it. I thought it was kinda lame that Syo was the first son. The first guy we met in the entire game? Really?

I got synthweaving to 400, made my rakata pieces, and then switched to artifice and am now making magenta crystals for the masses. Seriously, synthweaving was really only worth those rakata pieces. At first I wanted it because I thought it would be cool to make orange pieces for custom looks. But every orange piece from synthweaving is super bland and just plain garbage in comparison to the orange pieces from quests and flashpoints.

Nadia was way more useful to me than Qyzen. The damage she deals is much better (her unique AOE attacks hit hard) and she isn't that hard to heal. Some people say they switch back to a tank companion for elites, but I never had to. As it is, tank companions are a little bit weaker than I think they should be.

I think it has something to do with the one quest area on Corellia where there is an optional room and an optional cutscene. At least, I think it was optional.

I like Tharan. He is one of the few interesting companions we get. At least he has a well fleshed out personality. (Here's looking at you Iresso.) Also, did I mention that he's a pacifist?
