It's not random. There's reasons they reset. You should probably pay more attention.
Supposedly the issue with you companion auto-reseting abilities is being fixed in 1.1.

Maybe try a different companion?

I had this issue as Inquisi with Khem Val (I love him for the lore aspect, but for gameplay.....lol no), he would ALWAYS have 10-20% HP remaining after even a SMALL pull (not even pulls with Elites, just regular 'ol strongs). Switched to the Jedi chick you get....and never had issues again.

Same goes for my BH (tank): using ANYONE other than Mako results in a TERRIBLE experience. You can CLEARLY see which companions were MEANT to be used for both gameplay AND story purposes.

I'd honestly rather see them just /**** the other companions and make them just usable for grinding crew skills.

Try Eve online, you have no rail whatsoever, lol

No, except for the fact you have no control over anything other than the target you are flying towards, and the extent of the combat system is you decide when to pres buton.

If it ruins YOUR game, donīt use them.
As for other players. You have nothing to say about that !

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

Am I missing something there?
Yes, in preferences there is an option to enable to see gear comparisons when you mouse over gear, just like what you see for your own character, it will show you and your companions.

Nothing that shoots at me can win, including all the elites that quests seem to include. The only issue I have is the melee elites, which seem to be specifically designed to mess with a sniper thanks to the numerous interrupts and pushbacks.

I do the damage, and the good doctor keeps me alive. Very little downtime unless I make a mistake, or the AI bugs out, or I 'can't see the target' because he is standing on a pebble ...

My only issue is that we get the healer way too late, but then I suppose that makes sense for operatives.
And I thought I was the only one that sufferedd from that.

So, just out of curiousity in reference to what the OP wrote. Is it "normal" for us, if we are geared correctly and our pets are geared correctly for us (my pet and I) to take such collateral damage but still survive? To get the health wittled down to 30% or lower. Or am I doing something wrong? Your thoughts would be appreciated on this

Do what you do in every MMO known to man.

Move down to lower level mobs.
Get a group.

I don't see the point of the original post much less the title. Since everyone gets companions of course the content is balanced around them being there.

Apparently you don't get that the part about you downing mobs in seconds might be why you have so much recovery time.

My healer can't kill mobs in seconds but I have almost no downtime. It's a trade off. If DPS didn't have downtime and could kill mobs in seconds even less people would play Tanks/Healers.

Aren't those "social points" important in the game? Or am I just a noob (K I know I am after many years of playing MMORPG's but do the social points REALLY give or do for you anything earth-shattering or major?)
