Trevalon Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 One of the things I really hate about companions is the fact that I cannot stand a few of my companions. lol. For instance I hate the trooper Elara companion. She is annoying, does terrible damage, and only likes like side options - which really sucks when your trying to play a Darkside character and everytime you open your mouth your companion is hating you. Unfortunately as a tank Vanguard I am ALMOST forced into using Elara unless I want to have tons of downtime and the real possibility of dying to a mob that is a silver mob... On the other hand I love M1-4X, Tanno Vik, and Yuun, but unfortunately M1 and Vik are both tanks and they have a tendency to taunt off me constantly which sucks. Yuun is really my alternative to Elara but I still have to stick with Elara most of the time. Heres the question: Why can't we have more customization over our companions? Companions are only something you really use when solo or small group play so giving us more control over them wouldn't harm someone elses gameplay... Here is what I propose... All Companions should have a shared set of skill trees and as you level you choose new skills for each companion from whichever skill tree that you wish - so if I want a Melee Damage dealer that has charge and 1 or 2 healing skills I can have that ...If I want a tank that has a healer spell or two, I can have that...If I want a Melee DPS with some ranged capability...you can have that too... This would allow people to use any companion they want in the arsenal (To go with whatever playstyle they are playing, or if they just prefer a companion to others) and still be able to get things done in a meaningful way. Right now 3 of my 5 companions never get touched...ever, because they just airn't practical to use for my class/spec combo...Its sad because those are my 3 favorite for their personalities and looks...
