You do understand that companion quickslots are keybound by default, right? Use those keybinds, or create your own, and you can actually control when your companion uses his abilities. Yes, crazy talk, I know! But you can actually control when Doc heals you!

Healer classes should make a well geared tank companion, works for me.
What are you talking about? Almost every class minus Trooper has a cunning healer. Smuggler's has a cunning healer, so does Consular, Imperial Agent, Jedi Knight, Sith Warrior, and Sith Inquisitor.

Most of the time, my companions act in combat like many of those real people you might get in a PUG. Not all mind you but many. In those cases where players act like brainless zombies, I would take my companions any day.


Give me an MMO that I can visit and have fun! Where what I pay for is not going to those that play for free.

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.
Acutally, I've had the problem with Dorne, but not Cedrax, not Doc, and not Mako.

You make the assumption that some people aren't into that. A bold assumption indeed.

OP: Just an FYI Blowing your cool downs on higher level mobs to stay alive is working as intended. Your companions are meant to aid you not carry you.

Yours is the silly argument. Tell me, where are the pet classes in EVE Online? Oh, and tell me also where's my choice to play an avatar instead of a ship in EVE Online? EVE is an MMO that has been around probably longer than you've been an MMO 'expert designer', it is 'missing' many things that others might seem necessary. I don't like the lack of a viable avatar to play in EVE. But I knew what I was getting when I bought the game years ago...I didn't then complain about something I knew the game avoided by design.

You bought the game knowing full well it had companions. Suck it up, group up, or quit. Those are your options. You get zero sympathy points from me.
