Yeah man... I could hardly believe how powerful the companions are and mine weren't even skilled up. Not complaining- I love it! Although in all fairness it does make things a bit too easy. I'd rather they buff the mobs than nerf the companions.

In retrospect I feel like Bioware wants to keep SWTOR fairly easy and cater to a much more casual audience.
