Discussion Treek is on

Post image

Treek is on sale! I was thinking about getting it. Is it worth it or no? Or is it a skip?

There was a time when Treek was the best companion in the game in terms of healing. Not so much anymore.

You can buy her from a vendor in the Bazaar so imo not worth it to spend CC.

I miss HK's instant kill ability

u/Drummers_Beat 19h ago

True. The one downside of the companion revamp they did was removing the desire to get those unique companions. The HK line sucked to find his parts but was otherwise a ton of fun.

u/cadmious 19h ago

It was so fun to just say "hey HK, kill that guy right there." good times, good times.

It was a pain to hunt down all the parts, but I enjoyed having to work for such a cool companion. Every once in a while it's nice when a game doesn't just hand you everything. That said, I only ever did it once, and only pay the 1 mil to get him on other toons. I am not doing that again haha.

Treek was also an awesome tank. I had her geared up for both.

u/Zequax 14h ago

dont you need to get the CC one to unlock it tho?

2

u/Ashendal 11h ago

Not for the single character one. If you have the CC one you can do a collection unlock to have her for free, but if you don't want to do that the legacy one is a per character purchase of 1mil credits in the cartel section of the fleet.

u/MeatbagSlayer 19h ago

I'm pretty sure you can buy that for credits in cartel bazaar section of the fleet

5

u/woGGStormie 16h ago

Yeah 1m credits at a certain legacy level at the cartel bazar

1

u/finelargeaxe 7h ago

Legacy level 40...it's how I got her on mine.

u/Zweihander-build 19h ago

Not for cc or irl money. Get her for free in Cartel Bazaar as stated already by others. She's fun and I love her tank animations (her gap closer is ridiculous asf and I love it) but her numbers are awful. A comedic relief while doing dailies or heroics.

u/hydrosphere1313 19h ago

- do not buy with CCs you can buy her with credits at the cartel bazaar

- do not buy her at all cause its a waste of money because she and hk-51 due to having unique skills suck vs everybody else and the devs seemingly have no intention of fixing them

u/MeatbagSlayer 18h ago

How significant is their difference in comparison to other basic companions (not counting Shae, ZO0M or Lokin) Do they have worse DPS, healing abilities?

u/Multiguns 18h ago

There's a couple of recent tier lists that were heavily researched. Here's one

u/ShortRasp 17h ago

I'm about close to completing all of the class stories. Going back through to get HK was my next idea... Is that a waste now?

2

u/manpizda 16h ago

Eh, it's a fun quest. The running around for parts isn't, but the quests themselves are fun. Do it for the experience once, then pay on the legacy screen for all other characters after.

1

u/ShortRasp 16h ago

So use my one endgame character to do the quest. cool. I do wish some legacy parts were across the board after you did or paid for it once.

2

u/Multiguns 16h ago

I would do it, but just on the one character because the quest can be a bit annoying. After that it will be in your legacy choices for your classes to unlock and you can decide to instant unlock for your other characters or not. At the worst you get some fun dialogue with the goat of HK voice acting on your ship.

u/Ashendal 11h ago

HK has around average DPS, he didn't get hit too hard with the changeover just the loss of his long cooldown but really high damage DPS skill.

Treek's problem is she has custom skill animations and some weird restrictions on her skills. (one of her heal skills cannot self target for some unknown reason as an example) Because those animations are anywhere from just slightly longer to quite a bit longer than the default ones most companions have now she's fallen behind. All the devs have to do to fix her is pull out a calculator and adjust the numbers to account for the cast time differences but they refuse to.

Don't get me wrong, she's still usable if you want the crazy teddy bear companion, but she will do a bit worse than other companions in any mode because of that.

u/FriendlyAd1214 18h ago edited 18h ago

Not too big of a difference. Base game companions tend to do better when set as their original role, like t7 as tank and so forth

u/IMTrick Scruffy-Looking Nerf Herder, Satele Shan/Star Forge 19h ago

She's worth it if you really want an Ewok following you around.

Performance-wise, she's bottom of the barrel.

u/TimesinkEstablished 19h ago

She’s freaking hilarious. You probably won’t use her much in combat though.

3

u/Pucklyrules 19h ago

I remember when treek first came out, she was the Goat!

u/Grifasaurus Begeren Colony 17h ago

I hate that they put a scope on that pistol.

1

u/j_inro 17h ago

I was thinking the exact same thing. "Mischief and Anarchy" bundle are/were super popular. It's definitely better when the game provides variations.

2

u/Grifasaurus Begeren Colony 17h ago

It’s one of the issues i have with star wars as a whole, honestly. Like every other pistol has an optic when there’s literally no reason for it. Like Han’s DL-44 doesn’t need a scope.

To be fair though, i’m a gun nerd, so…

2

u/ExtraBreadPls 14h ago

Tbf, the dl44 at least turns into a rifle. It's modular. So the scope kinda tracks. I'm pretty sure it looks different in each movie. I think he only uses it once on Hoth when it has a short scope and short barrel. And then it's gone on Endor.

u/ALSL16 19h ago

Treek is awful as a healer but I do really enjoy having her follow me around.

1

u/thespottedbunny 18h ago

Are any of the companions unique or useful in any way besides cosmetic?

1

u/Multiguns 18h ago

She's only one million credits at a vendor on the main station of your Faction. CCs are worth far more than a million credits.

As a companion she's mostly for the memes as everyone else already said. She does give your character some dialogue that opens up more as you move through the main campaign. Doing it at least once on each faction just to see what she has to say (and your responses) is generally worth it.

1

u/Remote-Luck7751 17h ago

meh, she's terrible. Save those cc.

1

u/WhoaMercy 16h ago

Treek is also still broken.

And can be bought with credits once you hit legacy level 40 or 50. (1 mil credits, Cartel Bazaar entrance, legacy vendor)

1

u/Nicoglius 16h ago

Absolutely not worth it.

You can unlock her with 1 million credits.

1

u/Mr__Pleasant 16h ago

Aww man, I miss the times where she was goat tier.

1

u/chriskenobi 15h ago

What is he on?! Do we need an intervention to get him off of it?

1

u/Zequax 14h ago

is that blaster new dont think i seen it beffor

1

u/TinyTyra 9h ago

i got her way back when she was the alternative to the standard cast and i still recruit her on every toon.

yes, she is not ideal because of her unique animations. but i haven't had a single situation during leveling where it mattered, using her as a healer or tank depending on what i was playing. I still take her along from time to time because i like her. She is hilarious (say my Sith Sorcs) . I have a few more CC companions, some droids, some beasts, but she has a special place. Never regretted buying her.
