all of my companions suck. I am now level 41... and they all suck. I have to stop and heal every 30 seconds/after every small fight. I have mainly focused on using Kira, but I'm getting sick of stopping to heal her after every fight. I'm constantly updating her gear, but it's not enough. Is there something that would help? I even get the increase in off combat healing from the cantinas, but that seems to only SLIGHTLY help for me, and not my companion at all. I hate using Doc because he's annoying, but sometimes I'm forced to so I don't have to stop to heal every 30 seconds. I got lord scourge recently and I was excited to get him, but he sucks worse than all of them! He gets his *** beat in small engagements all the time... I thought he was supposed to be a bad ***? Emperors hand and all that? I get it... he's a companion to help, not be invincible. But come on... he should last longer than he does. It's just embarrasing to see him get taken out by a single pirate or prisoner. I'm just really really sick of the constant stop and heal, stop and heal. I would be alright if the off combat healing would kick in a LOT faster, and for BOTH me and my companion. Is there a trick to this???? Should I just focus on constant endurance for my companions?

That's another thing that bothers me. I love playing with Kira, but she always gets her *** beat now. If I don't take Doc it seems like every fight is a close one, or death. But Doc is just... annoying.

anyone?

Well I'm level 38 now, and just got to Hoth. Should I keep holding my breath for something epic? So far I've run in to the typical Republic panzies... <sigh>

Is there any reason to use a companion other than Doc? I mean, using Kira means you both have to stop and heal, stop and heal.... after every fight. With Doc, you get constant healing in and out of combat. I would much prefer to use Kira because she's awesome, but she dies in almost every fight and I have to heal one or both of us after each fight! This wouldn't be so bad, but Doc is annoying as it is.

As much as I am enjoying this game, I keep noticing an annoying trend, at least as the Jedi sentinel is concerned: All the missions revolve around The Republic sucking, IE unable to protect all of their Weapons of Mass Destruction, thus allowing the Empire to take all of their cool gagdets. Then I show up to save the day. And secondly, in the majority of missions, I will save the day only to have my allies come in right afer. Both of these wouldn't be so annoying if they didn't happen ALL THE TIME... it would be nice to do missions where the NPC's actually assist you. It's not like they would have to do mass amounts of damage: Just at least show them fighting!!! Edit: Oh, and the Republic always sound like a bunch of panzies.
