Hi all,

Checking the legacy system shows that you can unlock +10 presence for every companion's affection that you almost max out of each class. 8 classes' worth of companion will give you +400 presence.

I just want to know, does anyone already have that, and does your companion now hit like a truck?

Edited: Changed it, thanks Shingara.

its +400 and then another 100 for human, just informing you.

edit, nps and the ones i have unlocked yes it does make a difference, noticable. but you should look deeper into it. there are more bonus's from unlocking max affection companions then just presence.

I think you only get the bonus from just one of each kind of companion.... so I think you max out at 5 bonuses. I could be wrong, but don't think so.

I've got 9 companions with maxed affection, and the human +100, so grand total of +190.

I made a new char, and yeah, right when you get them, they hit hard, and their HP doesn't go down. I suspect it will diminish as I level up.

You max out at +150, 5 class of companions for 50 and 100 for playing a human to level 50.

That is wrong. I have a guildy that has 12 companions unlocked. She has no human characters and has 387 Presence. Base 225, Bonus 162 is what it says when she mouses over it. I have 3 different companions unlocked in total and mine says Base 225, Bonus 39.

This is correct. Only one ranged DPS, ranged tank, melee DPS, melee tank and healer counts. So if you have Jaesa and Ashara, it doesn't stack. If you have Jaesa and Khem Val, it will not conflict.

Good suggestion. To verify I had her test it (see below)

This is NOT correct.

Read the Legacy page.

It says "Grants a bonus blah blah blah blah ... You may only receive this bonus for one Healer companion." Then it has a big gap and says "Grants a +10 bonus to Presence on all characters."

She logged into a fresh level 1 character. She has a base of 48 bonus 120 for a total of 168. Again, she has 0 human characters and 12 companions maxed out. The person who said it caps at 150 is wrong.
