To add my 5 cents - the active companions are finally useful and even lower tier ones find some use. I am fine with that despite being Augument player. Them being useful is a good thing.
Problem is that indeed the Auguments (even quite powerful ones) are now subpar to even mediocre active companions (it's not issue of few OP ones that just outperform Auguments by mile, even the weaker ones outperform all of them a bit).
Nerfing anything at this point would be spit in the face of people who spent gods know how much time and/or money into getting strong indomis and Xuna, or other companions.
I dunno really 'why' Auguments do not give 100% of their stats? I mean: pre change with good enough Bonding it was more than that, and the name would suggest they pretty much should give their strength to us to augument us.
Most endgame players I've met 3+ years ago and those I met recently are all more or less in favour of auguments and they are definitely in dire need of some power up as even those people resigned on using them. Suggestions above seem like honestly fair ones and I like attribute stat add one in particular(not due to strength which might be lacking but due to possibility of improving versatility).
Do not take my words as a gospel, I'm just a weirdo running around with Legendary Chicken despite having better options - just to see little fella stumble around. But count me as part of 'improve Auguments' faction at this point.
Augments should indeed give 100% of their stats as ratings, and give their three enhancement stats as % contributions (should be 3% - 5% per stat). That MIGHT put them on equal footing. @noworries#8859@nitocris83 can this please get looked at? A huge amount of players are upset mostly on this issue alone. For some reason its quite a dividing line. Some players do not want companions that do damage to be better. They should be even, and this needs to be paid attention to. Some have even considered stopping or taking a long break from the game because of it. End gamers like augments, casuals like actives. Both groups should have an option that works.
