A guildmate of mine who got in the first wave just confirmed that companion bonuses are still present and Khem Val's are the same as the last beta build.

I'm personally torn on the previous companion skill bonuses. In one sense, I like that different classes end up having different things they are proficient in. On the other hand, I disliked that some crafting skills had the best boosts in only one faction. @mfrags - No worries, its something quite a few of us are interested in.

In previous builds each companion had unique boosts for specific crafting skills. This was stated to be something that was going to be changed, but as of the last beta build, it was still present. Can anyone confirm if companions still have these bonuses, and if they are the same? Thanks in advance.
