SWTOR Bounty Hunter Companions Guide

Welcome to my SWTOR Bounty Hunter Companions Guide, where I will tell you everything you will need to know about each companion available while playing as a Bounty Hunter class. Every class in SWTOR gets their own unique companions, who will each specialize in Healing, Ranged DPS, Melee DPS, Ranged Tanking, or Melee Tanking. If you think back to the Star Wars films, your typical Bounty Hunters would be Jango Fett and Boba Fett. Bounty Hunters usually work alone, and have neither an allegiance to the Imperials or Republic.

They tend to be on the Dark side, as they’re classed as an Imperial character, though their main focus is helping themselves by gaining wealth and fortune. Whether you choose to be a Mercenary or a Powertech in SWTOR your companion characters will be the same.

I am writing swtor credits this SWTOR Bounty Hunter Companions Guide to give you all the information you need in one place. You can click on the companion’s name you want to know more about to get a full page on that particular companion and see what gifts they like.

Mako Guide

Mako is a cute, young Cyborg who was taken under the wing of Braden. She is originally from Nar Shaddaa, though when you meet her, it will be on Hutta (the starter planet for Bounty Hunters). She will be your first companion, and if like me, you chose to be a Powertech (Tanking role) she is likely to be the only companion you’ll need as she specializes in healing. She’ll keep you alive in battle, while occasionally attacking your foes from a distance using a blaster pistol. Mako will become your companion buy swtor credits at around level 8. She is also romance-able if you’re playing SWTOR as a male Bounty Hunter.

2V-R8

2V-R8 is the droid that will come with your personal spaceship when you play on the Imperial side, and aside from using him to do your crew skills, you won’t find much use for him elsewhere. He’s not really classed as a companion, though in battle he will punch weakly with his fists and heal you (very poorly I might add). While questing, however, you will complete quests that will allow you to upgrade his parts. You will get him at the end of Dromund Kaas, when you steal your ship. 2V-R8 is not romance-able, nor can you gain affection with him.

Gault Rennow Guide

Gault is a Devaronian who used to be a notorious smuggler. He has found a paranoia-free lifestyle as a swtor gold gun-for-hire now, and will join your crew at around level 27, once you have completed all you class quests on Tattooine. He specializes in being a Ranged DPS and benefits from using a Sniper Rifle. Rennow will approve of any conversation that consists of: greed, indulgence, and thinking your way through a problem, though he despises options that involve fair fights, pain, charity and rules.

Torian Cadera Guide

Torian Cadera is a human Mandelorian Bounty Hunter, who will join your crew at around level 32 once you finish all your class quests on Taris. He is constantly trying to run from his shame of being a traitor’s son, and loves all conversations concerning challenges, honor, Mandelorians, and respect. By the time you gain Torian to your crew, you will have finished Act 1, thus unlocking your wow gold Legacy title (if you haven’t done so already). Torian Cadera is romance-able if you decide to play as a female character.

Blizz Guide

Blizz is an adorable little Jawa who you will discover at around level 35 upon completion of your story quests on Hoth. Blizz received his nickname upon kicking up a snowstorm of excitement during his first experience of “the white sands”. He likes this nickname as it reminds him of better days. He also loves adventuring, gadgets, attention, praise and friendship, but he will disapprove of people being mean to him, extreme violence, and scary things. Though he sounds too cute and small to be of any real use, but don’t judge a book by it’s cover as he is a very powerful ranged tank. He is not, however, romance-able.

Skadge Guide

Skadgeis a Houk and a Melee tank who prefers to use a Vibrosword to attack close to. You can find Skadge at the end of Belsavis once you complete your quests there. This should all be at around level 41, though it will differ depending on how long you take to complete your story here. I would suggest that Mercenaries use him over Powertechs due to his role, though he could come in handy if you change his stance. He is not a romance-able companion, regardless of your sex, but are you really that upset about that? Didn’t think so…

As promised, that was my SWTOR Bounty Hunter Companion Guide. I hope it fulfilled every wish you had of it, though if you want more information, be sure to check out my more informative, more involved articles on each individual companion. If you have an alternative character, you can also go and check out my articles for each respective companion!

The 2012 Speculatron Weekly Roundup For March 9, 2012

Bill Kristol says it's just getting started. Sarah Palin says all bets are off. Other GOP luminaries say that so far, what they've seen has been "a collective yawn." What are they talking about? The GOP race for the 2012 presidential nomination, that's what. And all of these assessments have been handed down from on high in the wake of Super Tuesday's results. But wasn't Super Tuesday a pretty unequivocal win for Mitt Romney, leaving him as the only candidate with a path to the nomination that doesn't require a series of miraculous events? Well, sure, if you're going to be all wow gold realistic and practical about it, concentrating only on fundamental factors like Romney's swollen war chest and his superior organization and the likelihood of him having success in the backloaded winner-take-all primaries to come and his current delegate count. But if you do like most of the media has done, and stare into the blinding lights of cloudcuckooland and allow yourself to be dazzled by all the SHINY SHINY so that you get a little light-headed and trippy, then maybe you can see that Romney's big wins Tuesday night were actually some sort buy wow gold of devastating setback. OH, WE GET IT. You want to "keep things in perspective." You read Nate Silver's curtain-raiser on Super Tuesday, where he projected that Romney would likely net 224 delegates, and he won 213, and surely we're not going to start tearing our eyes out over the fact that he underperformed by eleven delegates. Well, did you go on reading? If you had you'd have seen that Silver's "upside scenario" was 267 delegates. So what's Mitt Romney's fatal flaw, that prevented him from succeeding as successfully as he could? Ron Paul stole three delegates cheap wow gold in Virginia, after all! Look. The important thing to realize is that the people who cover politics hate it when the game gets called early. Yes, Romney has the clearest path to the nomination. Rick Santorum, who remains in the next best position to win, would have to either win a staggeringly high portion of the remaining delegates or benefit from some sort of unforeseen Romney mega-mistake that causes the complete collapse of his support in order to get to 1,144 delegates and win the thing outright. But he (as well as Newt Gingrich) have not technically been mathematically wow gold eu eliminated, and coming up soon are contests in Mississippi and Alabama, where Romney is likely to lose. And if we squint at that at just the right angle, maybe Romney is actually in total disarray. But if we're looking at this with clear eyes, it's actually become apparent that Mitt Romney is no longer running in a contest against Santorum, Gingrich and Paul as his competition. His only opponent now is the faint specter of a deadlocked convention. It's more likely, at this point, that his three co-competitors can deny Romney the 1,144 votes than it is that any one of them can overtake him and win them for themselves. And that's the story of Super Tuesday. Which is now over! Welcome to much less super part of the primary season. In other news from the campaign trail, Newt's exhaustion led to an awkward naptime, Mitt's Olympic-sized round of government gold-digging came back to haunt him, Santorum-speculators offered a bright assessment of his political future, President Obama may end up with an enemy delegate at his convention, and we're left to wonder -- are pollsters giving Ron Paul the stink-eye? All of this and more is waiting for you to enter the Speculatron for the week of March 9, 2012.

Rick Santorum Woos Guam, Apologizes For Joke About Exiling Unwanted U.S. Judges There

An offhand joke during the New Hampshire primaries about sending unwanted liberal judges to Guam is coming back to haunt Rick Santorum.

Both Santorum and Mitt Romney are trying to woo Republicans on the tiny island in order to pick up its nine delegates in Guam's caucuses on Saturday.

One of Romney's sons, Matt, is going to Guam swtor credits on the day of the caucuses. Santorum recently held a call with Republican leaders in the U.S. territory.

But first, Santorum apologized for his joke about the island.

At a town hall event in Tilton, N.H., on Jan. 5, Santorum had joked about exiling liberal judges to Guam.

Santorum buy swtor credits had singled out the 9th Circuit, which is despised by many conservatives, who perceive it to have a liberal bent. He had said if the court were to be abolished, he had "some ideas" about what to do with the judges -- a comment that elicited laughter from the audience. He then joked about sending the judges to swtor gold Guam.

"I want to be responsive and I want to be respectful of the Constitution because there is a provision that judges are appointed for life," he had said. "Now maybe we can create a court that puts them in Guam or something like that so they can keep their life appointments and appoint a whole bunch of new judges to different cheap swtor credits circuits."

According to Sen. Frank Blas Jr., a GOP leader who was on the recent call, Santorum told Guam Republicans that he was sorry for his remark.

"It was very sincere," Blas said.

Another Guam politician on the call, however, was disappointed with Santorum's lack of knowledge about the island. "I was quite disappointed with how the discussion went," said Sen. Mana Silva Taijeron. "We were kind of expecting his views on how he is going to assist Guam. And what I've learned is he is very misinformed, actually uninformed, about some of our issues we face here on Guam."

There are 54 delegates up for grabs in Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
