**NOTE: This idea affects all the players that have companions other than the passive types. So it could be useful for the majority of players, but not so much for the serious endgame players. 2 simple stats that tell the life story of your companion:1) Lifetime Damage Output
2) Lifetime Damage Mitigation
So it would mean at a glance you could look at any companion you have and see the current running total of damage output they ever delt. As well you could see the current running total of all the damage they have ever taken, which means it was essentially damage that was mitigated from you.
This kind of companion short story could reveal a lot about how your companion is working for "you" in your particular playstyle. These stats could help you optimize your companion for what it does best, as well as improve your overall game. Not to mention if would be cool to share/compare (ahem, brag about) your companion stats with all your buddies.

Lol, true, it wont work with passive companions. You don't have any other companions?
Maybe you mean commonly used at endgame? Lots of players aren't there yet and/or cant afford a cat or Ioun Stone. Almost all the companions I see in game are the freely available (green or white) ones or companions that came from the event rewards.
I do however agree that for the endgame players that loves passive companions, that these stats will not apply. I will edit the OP for clarification, thanks.
