I'm leveling a healer, 33 Jedi Sage right now. I keep my companion pretty well geared (he has a couple blues, I keep his items up to date though) and I've found absolutely no problems. Sometimes killing things takes a few seconds longer than a dpser, but I'll take that trade-off for ****** heals and surviving through almost anything.

Well once you finish chapter 1 you unlock your legacy, which counts towards all your characters. Why don't you finish chapter 1 (get to about level 32 and finish your class quest) and then go from there?

Please allow a server change, or something to allow the servers to re-balance... This is only going to get worse.

I think this is going to be necessary at launch...

yeah, I've got this. I was worried at first, but I think it's supposed to be like that. Anyway, I redeemed my code I think on the 25th of July. Still not in yet
