Returning to the game after a long hiatus, and I have read the very informative thread that has all the parses etc for the different companions. It states that most Cartel companions are buggy, and none of them are optimal.
I'm not trying to do great numbers with my comp, but before boosting one to 50 I'd like to know it's even worthwhile. I have the new D-R3D companion, which is melee and I gather well suited as a tank. I'd like to know if anyone has him and knows if he is 'good enough'. Or is he buggy as well?
