Oh and I have a tip for you, upgrade your companion's gear. Firstly decide whihc is the companion best suited for you. You may not have met that comop, as a general rule:nion yet ofc, it all depends on role.

If you're a Tank - go with a DPS companion or a healer - the more stacked in defense you are, the more useful a dps companion will be
If you're melee, a range companion is a nice compliment but not essentially so, and if you're ranged a melee companion is a nice complement

If you're a healer - go with a DPS companion or a tank. Melee dps is normally good here. healing gear boosts dps anyway so a good compliment.

if you're melee dps - go with a healer or a tank. I'd recommend a ranged tank, but sometimes a melee tank can be useful
if you're ranged dps - go with a tank, or you could go wtih a healer , depends on your spec. Some dps have better defenses than others, the weaker your defenses the more you need someone else to protect you. range dps that can heal would prefer a tank, Range dps that can't hea, would prefer a healer, cos they have more control abilities.

Find wha'ts best for you. normally it doesn't matter if it's range or melee tank or dps, so you can choose a companion based on your likes. but be warned though, the choice can make a very big difference to overcoming those elite mobs and strong areas. and how you use them, who goes in first, etc, can srsly extend your life.

Careful about getting defeeated too often though, as you will have to repair after a while. Fortunately every vendor can also repair.

As a tank I prefer a healer because of my playstyle revolving around taking on many opponents as possible incl. elites.
As a healer it depends on your playstyle, but my first toon used a tank, first a kitted out Kalyio then a kitted out Scorpio (because melee tank > ranged tank companions).
As solo dps in general I prefer more dps, works out better for me, especially as ranged dps (Commando). Had no issues with elites and some of the champions so far. Best way to escape enemy fire is to gun 'em down with the power of two loaded barrels.

For the rest I usually group up.

I like it. It makes me pay more attention to how my class operates.
