I have noticed that Nurse Quinn doesn't use a magical attack and she doesn't even have a witchdoctor spell, therefore I think that she should be a privateer. She can heal, but that is a privateer power, not witchdoctor, also, she has a lot of health and seems like she should be a privateer. Give me a Yar! If you think that she should be. And a actual yar in the post if you may.

I agree with this because of all the reasons you mentioned and because he has a melee attack not ranged (staffy).

Definitely, if she starts to Fizzle in the middle of the fights... Anyways, also, she would be the first Privateer Swashbucklers get before Marleybone unless i missed a companion or you get the dog from the Presidio. And they need more Privateers in my opinion.

indeed in every way are you correct she doesn't even look like a witchdoctor or have some staff weapon if she is to be a witchdoctor she should have a promotion to look and fight like a witchdoctor

I agree she heals with privateer powers and attacks with melee

Oooh, I have an idea why. It's cuz she attacks with Will, not Strength.

There are many other privateer companions that attack with will instead of strength. The bison shaman for example. Or Catbeard (strangely).

Haha, I had no idea. How do you know?

For a long time, I assumed Nurse Quinn was a Privateer since she has a heal. I didn't realize until recently that she's actually a witchdoctor. She should be a Privateer that receives the Will boost from all the JuJu boosts (since she isn't a very strong offense).

As a WD, she is specced so that she is trainable in Spooky and Spirited. If you put her training points into those stats and the occasional point into Dodgy or Accuracy, you should see improvement in her combat ability and a significant boost to the number of HP she can recover with one Rouse.

Epic-wise, I gave her First Strike and Vengence Strike since enemies seem to love to target her and I put someone with Cheap Shot or Flanking near her to get more attacks of opportunity.

I think she is fine as she is as a Witchdoctor. If there is something that needs to be changed, I think that she should get a promotion that gives her one more use of Rouse or maybe even a use of Rally.

One Rouse just isn't enough in mid or high level play. Having more heals available for NPC's would allow Swashbucklers like me to put more Practice Points into something else other than Rouse for myself when I'd rather invest in Shooty or Slashy Weapons to maximize my damage output.

Besides being one of the worst companions in the game. I think they made Nurse Quinn a witchdoctor based on medicine theory. But I agree she doesn't follow suit with traditional witchdoctor stats

Well, before Bonnie Anne got Second Wind, Nurse Quinn was one of the few NPC's (probably the only one) that could use a healing ability.

That meant that if you weren't a Privateer, you were pretty much stuck with having to invest at least one or more PP on the Rouse / Rally family of HP recovery powers.

I personally would prefer to put PP into boosting weapon damage & the like so that I can maximize the hurt with any combo of Stabby / Shooty / Slashy weapons.

She's not the greatest companion, but she is a necessary evil if you are not a Privateer.

Actually, every class gets a companion with Rouse:

Witchdoctors:Bison Spirit

Swahbucklers:Nurse Quinn

Bucaneers:Nadya

Privateers:Bison Shaman

Musketeers:

Ok, so maybe not. Does anyone know what the Musketeer companion is (if there is one)? If so, please post.

Thank you,

I think you worded that wrong, l will fix it for you. "She does have the accuracy of a low level witchdoctor, though. "
