Tech companion healing bugged

[The-Kaitou-Kid]

I tested this with 6 companions and got the same results:

 

Force Users:

 

Kira Carsen, Rank 33, Ameliorating Force: 4 ticks, 980 HP per tick for a total of 3920 HP.

Lana Beniko, Rank 33, Enlivening Force: 4 ticks, 980 HP per tick for a total of 3920 HP.

Lord Scourge, Rank 21, Enlivening Force: 4 ticks, 911 HP per tick for a total of 3644 HP.

(Off topic note to this report: Lord Scourge still has Sergeant Rusk's voice in combat)

 

All slightly higher than the tooltip values but very close, assuming no crits (3883, 3883, & 3610 respectively).

 

Now, Tech Users:

 

T7-O1, Rank 32, Progressive Kolto Scan: 3 ticks, 975 HP per tick for a total of 2925 HP.

Doc, Rank 33, Progressive Kolto Scan: 3 ticks, 980 per tick for a total of 2940 HP.

HK-51, Rank 21, Procedural Scan: 3 ticks, 911 HP per tick for a total of 2733 HP.

 

These are significantly lower than their tooltip values, again assuming no crits (3860, 3883, 3610 respectively).

 

If you look at that, it's obvious what's happening. The tech users are losing a tick of their channeled heal which is causing their channeled heal to lose 1/4 of its healing despite taking the same channel time when compared to force users. This is especially annoying since most of the force using companions have melee attacks as their basic attacks which makes them get into melee range whenever they attack. That puts them right in range for AOE attacks if you're on a melee class, a problem which is avoided by using a tech companion who would likely be ranged... except then they have reduced healing due to this bug.

 

I can add a video to this later if that would help at all but it's easy to check for yourself if you'd rather not wait.

As promised,

showing the differences with the 6 companions listed in my first post (and of course, Sergeant Scourge).

The tech companions also get stuck in an attack mode and do not heal once in it. To get them to stop attackinmg and start healing again you have to target your self and click their heals. Then they cast there heals and go back to attacking again not healing. They dont seem to pay enough attention to the character and more to attacking.
