I think the new expansion has ruined open world PvP...for many 1 on 1 fights. I like many of the new abilities companions have, but one thing they're missing is a stun break. I've had a couple encounters so far on Yavin 4, and every time the winner was simply whoever CC'd the other person's companion first, or CC'd you and took out your companion right away. Yes, you can break that stun to defend your companion, but then your opponent will stealth out and use their CC again before your stun break cooldown wears off. So what do I do when I encounter somebody? I use my companion's CC ability on the enemy's companion and it's basically a 2 v 1 fight. If I don't CC their companion, they CC mine, and it's a 2 on 1 fight. If I'm missing a mechanic please let me know, otherwise I'm just going to take down my PvP flag. I don't mind losing, but I don't care for fights that are always lopsided.

companions shouldnt even exist in pvp.
