Hello swtor forums,

 

My slight OCD needs to be put to rest, and I am wondering if non-crafters should bother with maxing companion affection. Lets assume two things, I only use slicing, and I have already maxed enough companions to get the account wide stat buffs. Should I max the rest?

 

Thanks for reading.

If you have all the stats buffs, the only reasons to max more companions are crafting, achievements and seeing their conversations.

That is what I was thinking. Is presence worth chasing at all?

I only care about presence datacrons, dont see the point of using it in gear. Gear yourself, I can solo dailies even without comp

Yes it is, especially if you use Treek as a tank because she gets the most out of it point for point. I get +500 presence thru legacy and it makes a large noticeable difference.

 

The 500 you get thru legacy is:

+2500 HP's

+100 Damage

+70 Healing

For sure if you plan to roll more alts, as the bonus is exceptional at lower levels where +2500 HP and +120 damage makes companions gods.

 

I usually get to level 29 on characters wearing nothing but a few pieces of starter world gear, all because my companions (I tend to use Treek at low levels as she has a full set of starting gear) are ridiculously strong.

 

Otherwise, the bonus isn't as noticeable at 65 (the bonus is flat - it doesn't scale to level), but it does help.
