You force these companions on us, you make it so that we cannot quest or fight or leave the safety of our ships unless we have one tagging along, but we can't rely on them with our lives.

Team up with someone (or a group) and don't use the companions at all.

And yet, knowing full well the use of companions in not only this game but every BioWare game ever made, you bought the game.

Now you want to cry about it.

You'll pardon me if I have zero sympathy for your concern, an issue you fully created yourself.

Fortunately I only need to have him out for the dailies now, still a pain in the *** to have around though.

Yeah I hate the fact we are all forced play pet classes, I hate pet classes, I never play pet classes, and yet here if you don't you are at a severe disadvantaged.

It was a very single player game design choice.

Such a silly thing to say. For a MMO to have long term playability it needs to not only have certain systems included but it needs to give people the ability to make a choice on how they play.

I bet you change your mind if they added more appealing female characters or if your female in real life male characters.

Put him in his healing stance.

Turn on on all his healing abilities.

If that doesn't work out, then I'm lead to believe it's just you.

I use Quinn and Dorne. Never have a problem, unless I'm getting hit more then they can heal.
This just in: Expanding on an ending no one likes is not improving said ending. A polished turd is still a turd.

The healing companions don't have a resource pool. They just work off of cooldowns. So don't expect a steady stream of heals, that's not how they work. It also helps if you turn off the CC ability they get because they seem to prioritize that a little to high over some heals. Other than that I have never had a problem with mine. Don't pull an entire room and expect your healer companion to keep you alive like a normal healer player would.

Yes, you have the choice to play solo or in groups. Play melee or ranged. Play DPS, Healer or tank. Empire or Republic. Darkside/Lightside/somewhere in the middle.

You hate pet classes, but are playing this game.

Why?

The other poster made a very valid statement, not some silly, fluff statement. Just because you don't like what he said doesn't make it silly.

I think the forums have become a competition to see who can complain about something that hasn't been complained about yet.
Can I have your stuff?
