I would much rather find a healer (I'm a tank) for a 4 man heroic and use our DPS companions than some of the DPS I've been saddled with.

Well, Heroic 4 says otherwise.

Very true in some cases, though fortunately not all.

The Force ruins the game. As a Sorcerer, I have to use the Force in every fight, or I die. When I do use it, in the hardest areas against similarly leveled enemies, I barely win...

...wait...what?

It's horrible. Not wow this is bad, I mean HORRIBLE!
How much worse would it be as a heal spec if you didn't have a companion?

I don't care how much damage I do, as a tank spec, I just pull out a DPS companion and let her do all the heavy lifting while I hold agro.

"How much worse would it be as a heal spec if you didn't have a companion?"

What? If companions did not exist we would all be grouping together and we would actually be making friends and we would have a community. I chose to go heal spec on my Operative, and since I MUST use a companion, obviously I have adopted my current playstyle.

How much worse without companions it just..irrelevant. What purpose does asking this question serve?

I agree with the OP. Every single MMO that has ever come out has had a couple of classes that have a pet. If you want to play a pet class, you play a pet class... However, not everyone wants to play a pet class. In SWTOR you have no choice. You play a pet class no matter what. I don't want a pet. I want to go in and smack stuff around without having to worry about if my pet is still alive or not.

And yes, it is a pet. You can call it a companion or whatever you want but it is a pet.

I honestly think this alone will kill the game for some people. If you have never liked pet classes you are not going to enjoy this game.... and I know a lot of people that hate playing a pet class in other MMO's.

Honestly? I like the companion thing. I just wish trying to choose gear for them wasn't such a chore with the current UI.

Open inventory, open paperdoll, move to companion tab... and manually compare the stats. ugh.

Am I missing something there?
