Founder's Panther Companion - Give us a choice

I'll say it plain; the panther is as useless as a spud cannon against a dinosaur. I'm stuck using my L15 "Man-At-Arms" if I want an effective companion but, with a rank cap of 15, I'm likely going to be forced to pay for a fundamental part of the game. I could buy a companion from the AH, sure, but then what is the point of the panther?

The most satisfactory way to resolve this is to give founders a choice of their companion. This could use a "unique-equipped" system where a player could only have one of the companions at a time. The choices would likely be;
  • Tank
  • Melee DPS
  • Ranged DPS
  • Healer

Thoughts, founders?

    kind of agree here. I am not that far, only lvl 28 with my guardian but playing with cleric companion is a much better choice than the panther.

    Highly unlikely. Just wait for them to fix the derp cat. Everyone knows it sucks, they aren't just going to leave it like that.

    I really hope you are right!

    Since the Panther cant taunt or anything useful its basicaly a + to your DPS. But the Panther doesnt really do that much damage, at all.
    And besides that the "attack animation" of the Panther takes forever. I always kill the mob before the Panther will "pounce" and miss of course.

    Useless.

    I have heard this alot lately, founder companions being bad.

    Unlikely they will give this any thought.
    It would be nice for a choice for players in all aspects, instead of the same linear min-maxing ladder that forces anything to become #1, while all others are scrapped.

    I'll take the spud cannon over the panther any day.
