This is a start; however...
Giving companions more health and adding new mods does not solve the problems for anything besides maybe sentinels/robotics.
Sentinels/robotics have separate, modifiable weapons and ranged attacks.
The pet A.I. is terrible, particularly for melee-range pets.
Companions without separate, modifiable weapons already do not have enough mod slots as it is.
Cramming more mods into the same slots where your survivability and damage mods already compete for space is not that helpful.
On top of this, many companion skills are essentially useless, either by design or again due to the terrible A.I.
I hope there are more meaningful changes to come other than number tweaks/new clutter mods.
Am I missing something significant?
