Mondavian Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I'm at level 26 and have a few companion choices. I'm wondering what the best companion for leveling the Marauder? Any help and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SodaOfYoda Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 The ship droid or Quinn tends to make things easier, but it all boils down to personal preference. I hated Quinn's storyline and as such, switched to Jaesa. Plus he just wasn't cutting it anymore. Need the deeps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergulch Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I'm at level 26 and have a few companion choices. I'm wondering what the best companion for leveling the Marauder? Any help and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank to all. If you keep Quinn stocked up on Cunning gear, you can blast through pretty much anything. I was done with Voss bonus quests at level 46. (2 levels early).. it's been like that on all planets, and all I do is solo, unless it's a heroic or flashpoint obviously. No matter which companion you choose, make sure they are fully geared with the correct stats. Same as yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apantoliani Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Like the guy above me, I kept Quinn stocked up on cunning for heals and blasted my way to 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavajo Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) I used Vette exclusively until I got Jaessa. And then I use Jaessa exclusively until the final two boss fights in the class story. You're pretty much forced to use Quinn for those last two encounters. I liked having Jaessa as bonus DPS. In a pack of 4-5, I could kill three while Jaessa killed the other two. And then just a quick 4-5 second Hatred to get healed back up to full. That seems faster than having Quinn pop heals on me and killing all 5 myself, particularly when the mobs are spread out. It's my firm belief that you'll level faster with Jaessa than with Quinn.

Angellus Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Yeah as much as I would have preferred to use Jaesa, I stuck with Quinn all the way through to 50. He just makes life easier with no downtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiet Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) I'm currently at level 41. I used Vette, until I got Quinn. Since, I have the treasure hunting crewskill, I constantly send Vette out on treasure hunting missions due to her +5 critical for treasure hunting. Her doing the treasure hunting missions was the primary reason I switched to Quinn. I used Quinn, until I got Jasea. She currently has the best gear (all orange moddable) out of all five of my companions. We can currently take on a pack (1 gold elite, 2 silver elite, 2 normals) without any major problems (she may die every now and then, but that's a non-issue for me). Having a healer would reduce downtime after each fight, but the increased DPS makes the fights shorter. Edited January 11, 2012 by Quiet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavajo Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 We can currently take on a pack (1 gold elite, 2 silver elite, 2 normals) without any major problems. Wow. Color me impressed. Golds were no problem at all. But adding a Silver into the mix would have given me significant problems. I don't know how you managed to take on another Silver + two Normals.

Quiet Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) Wow. Color me impressed. Golds were no problem at all. But adding a Silver into the mix would have given me significant problems. I don't know how you managed to take on another Silver + two Normals. She can kill a silver or three normals by herself. This is due to having good gear. My friends are artiface and cybertech, so I get free mod upgrades. Which translates to blue & purple mods in all our orange moddable gear. I tried to use Pierce (ranged tank), but he is undergeared compared to my other companions. So, he ended being more squishy than Jasea. If I gear out Pierce, I believe he would be better than Jasea. But, Jasea is better eye candy ( she's rocking the slave girl outfit). Edited January 11, 2012 by Quiet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flamegeyser Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I don't know about you guys, but I always used vette. She is basically just a ranged jaesa with slightly better armor, aoe, and the ability not to be a bland, bloodthirstly monster, or a boring normal jedi. But hey, that's just me.

Traejun Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Quinn. Marauders are glass cannons for the most part. As long as Quinn is well geared, you can just melt through anything. Jaesa and Vette provide excellent DPS and does increase your kill speed, but if something goes wrong - i.e. a silver pat - you're probably dead. With Quinn, no such issue.

I did it with Vette too, but It was more about personal preference than best companion. Quinn I think overall is best. Beauty of this is however Vette and Quinn can share almost every piece of gear, just as long it is not class restricted (Companions are their own name class).
