Clarity on companion performance

I am not understanding why base statistics for powers that each companion does is not displayed anywhere. I have like 50 companions now and it is a silly guessing game to know which ones are best to use.

For example, there are numerous mage companions, I would think they should all do either similar single target, aoe, or hybrid (2 skills in rotation) and since this is a D&D game (a dice rolled RPG) that they would tell us the numbers. Or if not all mages are created equal, show us in their stats. I mean, every piece of equipment and our own powers have all of this data, so these companions should, too.

There is only 1 person doing limited, dummy testing on only a short list of companions. Maybe the developers don’t realize that this is kinda important even if they only contribute a small percentage of our output?

D&D in name only. The companions keep their character sheet to themselves.

Companions should be more like a beast skill tree. Where all companions are just "skins" basically. And what you alter/manipulate, is the skill tree on each "companion tab/equip slot" already available to all players.. This makes it all fair and not pay2win. Making all stat combinations and abilities available to the player, without having to get a specific companion.

This allows the company to make money selling companion skins/models for you to use to combine with your fashion preference. This in stead of the insane amount of companions that need to be tested. And many more left in disuse due to the current system being the way it is.

Example: " I enjoy having my Golden Lion next to me. But I can't use him, because my cat augment is superior in stats for my tanking".

Nothing in this game is pay-to-win.

At some point, the player's decision on what to use has to have an impact.
