P/S. So I wanted to know when you revive your companions what is that subtract mean on the top. I always wondered if it was bad for you to have it. I checked the tips but they don't say.

Hi Sabelo, Welcome to the message boards. There are several threads regarding those pesky bumbaloons and how to tackle them. Reading this great article in the May newsletter from our One-Eyed Jack will give you just the tips you need to get that herd under control.

I had this same problem with my Privateer. I did it WAY faster with my Swashbuckler (probably because he was level 27 and all my companions are 24 or higher) because I did so many side quests and gained 3 or 4 levels. I always go for the Striped Bumbaloon first, and my Musketeers always give the most damage. it seems like my or companions always give less damage because of armor, and guns seem to penetrate it easier, so I would put musketeers higher on your roster.
