jumay Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 There are dozens and dozens of cookie cutter companions in the game. There really is no difference between Elara Dorn or Mako or Koth in skill set outside of slight variations from Z00M and Ranos in heals and dps. HOWEVER, that wasn't always the case. There was one companion that was special. One companion that actually brought some fun to the monotony of farming nodes or running dailies. That companion was HK-51. With the "assassinate" skill, he made questing more enjoyable. Being able to take out that one target in one shot was awesome. It is time to bring back some variety in the companions instead of a long line of carbon copies in different skins. STATEMENT: BRING BACK THE OIGINAL DESIGN OF HK-51, MEATBAGS!!!

I haven't used HK-51 for anything after they changed his abilities, especially removing "Assassinate". On the one hand, when they made the changes in Update 4.0, solo content was made much easier. The need to take out a Silver target in one shot kind of went away, even in heroic areas. On the other hand, 7.0 may make questing and solo content more tedious, with how level-sync is being changed. We won't have our max-level tertiary stats stay the same on leveling planets. It might be a reasonable suggestion to bring HK-51 back up to how he used to be to make doing heroics, dailies and the like less of a slog.

Kellorion Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Can we, at least, have a global account HK-51. Like say if you have completed the whole mission once, and have then bought him once. For like, idk, 400 CZ? And then just plop him out form every alt, sans spending 1 million credits. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediQuaker Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 (edited) While I would agree that HK-51's Assassinate skill was 'different' and added some variety, it wasn't really anything special. Given the required circumstances and the long duration, it wasn't actually any better overall, than other shorter duration shots. (Much like the Gunslinger's Aimed Shot.)

ralphieceaser Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 HK 51 wasn’t created to be a healer. KH-55 also whines when you send him for crafting xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
