I'm starting a new character, and am on the starter planet with no companions. The only 2 stims for sale at vendors are the command stim which increases presence and a fortitude stim increasing endurance. What does presence do for me without a companion? Does it help tank, dps, dot, or some, all, or none?

The only thing Presence does is increase your companion's effectiveness. So without a companion Presence is useless.

 

I suggest ignoring stims until you get to the endgame ones. There is literally no point wasting your credits on low levels stims/adrenals.
