Treek is broken, worthless, we paid REAL MONEY for her.

Actually I believe that title belongs to the Warbot companion at the moment because it only has one active heal ability. All of the others are toggled off and have no actual toggle button.

I agree with OP that Treek is now one of the weakest if not the weakest comp now. This is not a huge problem for me but certainly see why it does bother a lot of players. I do with they would fix her affection from conversations. Same as HK, since last update none of my character's can recruit HK as this is bugged. As a brought comp and a reward comp it is poor. Ok this don't bother me all that much, but certainly understand the complaints.

Yes well a where you can get Treek free from the vender, but a lot of us did buy her.

Well it is a WARbot, and not a HEALbot after all...

Treek is still useful in the fact she is an additional companion you can summon while leveling and restricted to the companions your get via doing your class story.

Stuck with just your starter planet comp but want to level crew skills? Get Treek, now you can have a comp for travel and a comp for sending out on missions.

I did, I was told to go to the forums.

Yes, but that means that EVERYONE who bought her with real money for the tank/heals is royally screwed out of their money. At she's not just subpar compared the other comps, she's worthless compared to them. 38 secs to heal vs 18, broken...

Any conclusion as to which is actaully the best companion yet? I'm using a level 50 HK, but I know people telling me to level and use a force user instead.

Supposedly it's tanking is pretty bad as well.

Because every companion was overpowered shortly after KotFE was released. With most of the healers being shockingly effective, Treek's slightly different combination was plenty effective at healing but with some changes that some people liked.

However, for the most part, declarations of her being "OP" were just internet exaggerations made by people trying to get attention by being sufficiently loud. You seem to understand that idea.

Legal notice: No. You spent money on cartel coins. Those coins come with no guarantees. They buy game stuff and there's no statement about how useful that game stuff is or how well it will work or how much you'll enjoy it. You chose to spend those coins on a companion. You knew at the time you used them that Treek could be changed in the future. You knew that balance changes might make her the weakest companion. Or that she might have other changes that made you stop liking her. This was in the agreement you signed.

No. She's not useless.

She might not be as useful as you want, or rather: she might not perform the way you like for the purposes you're using her, but that isn't the same as being useless. I've seen people soloing H2 Star Fortresses with her, so apparently she's far from useless.

Of course... that's not what you meant, was it? You just used "useless" because you thought it would be more dramatic and convincing.... if the truth isn't convincing, just exaggerate until it sounds convincing, right?

And now she's about the same as everyone else. What you want is a tank. Most of them function the same way. There are loads of Shadows/Assassins in the game and they get on just fine with normal Tank companions. You'll be fine.

1: Because you didn't buy her. You bought cartel coins.
2: Because you got exactly what they said you'd get at the time you "bought" it.
3: Because you were never told that she would retain the features or performance you wanted. On the contrary, you were told that her abilities --just like every other thing in the game-- might change in the future. You made an agreement saying that you were okay with that.
4: Because nothing about how she was presented to you was ever false. A change in implementation does not justify a "bait and switch". Having an airline change my plane or my seat assignment isn't grounds for a bait and switch complaint. Having HBO change actors in one of their shows is not bait and switch. Having Microsoft break support for some devices in a Windows update is not a bait and switch. The core of 'bait and switch' is deception with the intent to drive sales that would not have occurred if there had been honesty. Treek was working as initially advertised for a long time before changes were made.
5: And the changes that were made were both legal, fully disclosed to you, and applied in a global fashion.

That's a bit ironic coming from the guy who didn't realize you could recruit her with in-game credits.

Same here.

And Treek had her heyday of being probably the best and most versatile companion in the game... two years ago.

Things change, adapt or fall into oblivion.
