If the power from companion is not shared then why is bondings needed.

    Because DC can use the power with bonding bonus him/herself?
    Power from augment is also not power shared.

    uhm...you want your companion to provide Recovery (and maybe some defensive stats too) and bondings simply give you more stats than augments.
    Hoping for improvements...

    Are you sure that power from augment can not be shared?

    When the bonding stone was reworked the big mistake was to reworked only partially the eldritch rune stone, with a better stat it might create another viable way with augmented companion.

    I'm not 100% sure, but i think that the defense given by Companion's Gift counts for Assassin's Covenant Insignia Bonus. So there is an indirect way to push your power sharing.

    U can get more recovery from ur companion with bondings and also when u powershare to ur companion it multiples and feeds back to u. The power bondings feed back doesn't share but shepards devotion works with buffed power so if everyone is stacking hp the dc can help to cover the grps vulnerabilities with the defense/deflect from shepards while giving movement speed.

    My reply was based on this:

    https://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/neverwinter/#/discussion/1227832/reference-power-sharing/p1

    My understanding could be wrong.

    ------
    DO NOT Count Towards Power-Sharing "Base" Power:

    Ring of Brutality
    Ring of Rising Power
    Twisted Weapon Set Bonus
    Lifeforged Weapon Set Bonus (formerly called Firesoul)
    Overload Enchantments (Corrupted Black Ice, White Dragon Glyph, etc.)
    Bloodlord's Visage (not retested in Mod13, I'm assuming it still doesn't count)
    Rampaging Madness (Dread Ring Boon)
    Elvish Fury (Sharandar Boon)
    Eye of the Giant Active Bonus (artifact)
    Companion's Gift (Bonding Runestone Stat Bonus)
    Augment Companion Stat Bonus
    .........


    Augment Companions Unfortunately do not benefit from power sharing. Anyone wearing an augment only gets 1x power directly. Augment stats also do not count for "Base Power".
    ....
