That would be cool. I am reminded of the fun I had with Skyrim mods going on quests with my posse of 4+ companions wreaking havoc on my enemies.

Not "need" .... my post stated that it would just be a lot of fun to have two of your companions with you if you wanted.

I posted before I read your comments. I can't imagine your frustration with not receiving good tier specific gear (not to mention repeats of gear already received). Ugggh! This is the exact scenario I was lamenting about in my post. I'm at level 81 and frustrated .... that's nothing compared to what you've experienced thus far at CXP 300. Plus, SWTOR announced another 100 cxp levels to come. Developers, please address this. Not fun at all to play if this continues.

I agree 100%. What a great idea. Would be a lot of fun to have a second companion instead of the combat support droid.

I really have appreciated reading other player's comments and recommendation on this and other threads regarding the current leveling/gearing system. I wish to add my two cents because I really have enjoyed playing all the SWTOR classes/story lines and leveling my toons for the last three years. 1. Current Gearing System with CXP in 5.1.2 I am extremely frustrated with the current gearing system. Like many other players, I too am weary with the amount of time (aka, the "grind") one must invest in order to earn your set bonus gear. It took me 68 CXP levels just to earn 6 of 7 pieces of Tier 1 set bonus gear (for my merc). I just reached CXP level 81 today but still can't get the final piece of gear! I know many other players that are in a similar situation like me. In contrast, I also know others who earned all 7 Tier 1 set bonus gear pieces by or before level 40. I was playing with these other players doing the same damn missions/flashpoints/ops CXP level grind and they get to tease me for my apparent bad luck. Lucky b@$t@$ds! What is going on? 2. Legacy CXP Level Shared with My Other Toons As stated above, the gear grind is getting me down and depressed. I have 12 toons (fewer than many other dedicated players). The current CXP leveling and gearing system demands too much time for far too little reward. The prior system (pre-CXP) allowed me to better level and gear my multiple toons, which was really fun and rewarding to do. As a player, in my opinion, I would be happy and grateful to see CXP levels shared across one's legacy for all my exp level 70 characters on the same server. I desperately wish to avoid the fatigue filled grind I'm currently going through on just my one toon alone. I can't imagine let alone fathom the time I will need to invest to do the same for my other 11 toons. This game is suppose to be fun not a bu;den. The thought of having to do this for every exp lvl 70 toon really depresses me.

Thank you for the time, effort and detail you've put into your Lightning Sorcerer guide. Much appreciated.
