Treek

 This is my plug for our little furry friend Treek. For those of you that do not have her, I'm going to explain to you why you should get her. Their are a couple ways to get her. She cost 2100 cartel coins (700 additional cartel coins to unlock it via collections) or 1 million credits (legacy level 40) and costs 300k per character. I didn't have legacy level 40, so what I did was buy the 'mercenary contract' off the GTN and unlocked it on one character. I think I paid around 800k for the contract, but of course this will vary from server to server. Once she is unlocked on a toon, then you can pay 700 cartel coins in the collections screen, and this will enable ALL of your toons to get her free. This is what I did and it is by far the cheapest way to go.

Now on to why you should get her. First, she can either be a tank or a healer as your companion. You can get her at level 10, so think about that for a moment. As you are leveling a healer, wouldn't it be awesome to have a tank as a companion? Or, if you are leveling any type of melee toon, how awesome would it be to have a healer by your side? Again let me remind you, you can get her at level 10! That's huge, and I can't even explain to you how easy this makes leveling a new toon....it's almost like it's cheating lol. We have all leveled melee or ranged toons, and the constant downtime of stopping and healing yourself in between fights really slows the leveling process. With Treek, no downtime and you just keep on keeping on!

Now as a tank, if you are leveling a healer, this is where she also shines. She holds agro extremely well, and does very nice damage. Not to mention she has some cool animations to watch And get this, she also heals herself! So again, no downtime. I am currently leveling 2 healers, a sage and a scoundrel, and I just can't tell you how much easier it is with her...and fun not to mention

When you get her at level 10, she comes equipped with a full set of orange moddable gear. All you have to add will be implants and earpiece, once you hit the proper level. So no need to worry about buying her gear the entire leveling process, only mods, armorings, and enhancements you can buy with your commendations (buy her commando mods).

I will be the first to admit I was a little skeptical about buying Treek. But let me tell you, she is credits well spent. If you like leveling alt's ( as I do ) get her and you won't regret it
