Party Companions not healing party members.

We had a cleric companion in our party tonight, we were at one of the camps at Blackdagger ruins. There was no combat, just adjusting and selling equipment at the vendor. We had been noticing that if one of us had our cleric companion away for training that we wouldn't be healed by the other person's cleric. However we couldn't really prove it since combat was so hectic and we were popping potions and had a little life stealing gear on.

We could only prove it for sure while at camp, I took a potion from Alchemy that had an unknown effect. The effect actually was poison, and as we stood there and I went down to about half health, my friend's cleric companion cast two heals on HIM the whole while he was completely undamaged, not changing gear and wasn't actually even moving. Once my cleric popped back in from training it cast one heal on me and of course by then I'm back to full health.

Note: Maybe this is working as intended, but zone chat was under the general impression that companions would heal other group members. Matter of fact we've even gotten sucked into combat back in the Beta days because my friend's cleric companion healed other people in combat as we went by.

This is by design. Companions aren't supposed to help non-owners
