IG Companion Gear

reeper

I'm pretty sure this has been asked and or spoken about, but I would like an answer if possible. Why does +5 companion gear from IG have a Overload slot instead of a second Offensive/Defensive slot? Are there any plans to maybe change this? Alot of people, myself included have been farming and grinding IG until our eyes cant take the boredom anymore. I have had a streak of nearly 40 runs with only +3's dropping, after this the +4 items started dropping. After a few hundred runs of farming for the only item is need, I get the +5 version of that item which is the worst trick that could have been played on me because of the Overload Slot. Nobody uses the +5's from IG if that part wasn't obvious. Why does it have to be so hard to get the desired companion items? How can we be competitive without having the proper gear on our companions? Please help me to understand

While running IG a few of us came up with an idea:
How about having a chest at the end with all the drops and having a choice like on Tomb of the Nine Gods. Opening the chest allows you to choose from the catagory that dropped. A Gold run will work like this for example:
Necklace drops "Choose 1"
Fierce Necklace of the Companion +4
Heroic Necklace of the Companion +4
Bold Necklace of the Companion +4

Belt drops "Choose 1"
Defiant Belt of the Companion +3
Sturdy Belt of the Companion +3
Obedient Belt of the Companion +3

The drops are all the same quality, same equipment slot, just different stats.

Some of you might think this is a dumb idea. It obviously will get some negative thoughts, but compare that to the negative feedback in game about the drops in IG

Can we at least get an answer on why the +5 items are worse than the +4's? Or is there suppose to be something special when slotting overloads we don't know about?
