"Right now we are assuming that you are using your companion character. If you don’t use your companion you will be at a big disadvantage because all the DPS that your companion would be doing isn’t going to be there. So there is no point to not bring your companion character, unless you want to challenge yourself by not bringing him around."
"Can companions replace player characters 1-for-1 in a group situation?
- No. If you’re in a four-man group, then each of those players has their own companion."
"Will companions be limited to specific parts of the game such as the open world, instances, Warzones, or can they be used at any time?
- Currently we have them being able to be used at any time."
