All of my companions have under 10k Health? And the old 're-equip gear' trick is undone the moment you mount/dismount/desummon/zone in to another area.

So basically companions were made useless last patch. Awesome


-EDIT-


IF YOU DO ANY OF THE FOLLOWING
=
GEAR REVERTS TO BEING 'NON EXISTENT'

- Take an elevator
- Summon a different companion
- When a companion returns from crew skill
- Desummon and resummon same companion.
- Start a quest
- Mount/dismount
- Send your companion to sell inventory junk
- Using your holocommunicator
- Using Rocketboost
- Using Quicktravel
- Using Priority Transport/fleet
- Getting knocked off speeder throws you in to combat and therefore cannot gear switch = usually means you die or run away clinging for life.
- Using any of the hangar elevators on fleet.


Yeeeh totally not gamebreaking to have to re-equip gear any time you do any of the above.

-EDIT 2- [Nearly 12 hours later]
First and 2nd response -

Thanks for the reports, I was able to confirm this on my own character as well, so I have forwarded on all the details to the relevant department to get this looked into.

We will keep you updated once we know more.

Thanks.

There is currently an issue with companion stats not working properly with their equipped gear. This occurs whenever a companion is summoned after being dismissed. As a workaround to this, please unequip all gear on your companion, and then re-equip all of their gear again in order to get their proper stats back. You will need to do this whenever you summon your companion.

Please know that this is a priority issue for us and that we are working to resolve it as quickly as possible.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

While my companions do not have the best gear available, I instantly noticed it when Quinn was doing lowbie heals to me. Companions are utterly useless now.

A quote from another post I made

1) Summon companion and look at their stats. It's pretty obvious they do not use the gear.
2) Re-fit your companion and the stats increase like they're supposed to.
3) Enter a loading screen or summon again and it's back to base stats.

Here's 3 screenshots showing what happens.

Regular summon, gear does not apply to stats

Re-fitted gear now works as intended

Re-summoned and gear is not working again

Fix please. Hurry.

Yep, was going to do some dailies and then I saw that my comps were under geared, as if they weren't wearing anything, you have to unequip them then reequip them, the problem is, once you summon a bike or another companion you need to redo the whole process again...
Way to go Crapoware, way to go.

I wonder... Why. WHY and HOW 100%-F2P-shop-patch http://www.swtor.com/patchnotes/1.5.1/11272012 break companions? But Bioware make it possible.
