New mod drops. Played it for a few days and thought gee, my companion and mount powers seem weaker. Then I'm paying attention to the numbers and yep there it is. Heroic encounters are constant spawn now in Dread Ring and Well of Dragons (No fun if you are soloing as a Devout) because people Cherry pick the encounters anymore. Mounts that I paid for with gold to help give mounts to new players in my inventory are now bound to my character and can't be sold or discarded?!? Seriously?!? WTF!!! Fix the Game, or shut down the servers! Not everyone wants to be grouped up all the freaking time. Some just want to play the game and be left to their own devices.

Now, I use Bastion of Health a lot more often as both a group and solo healer. So for me whatever the changes were are a good thing because it gets me to do more healer type stuff with my healer toons.
The only reason I do not use Arbiter is because it feels like I have no reason, except for the fact that it is in fact faster for me to complete solo stuff that way.
In terms of companions, I have no idea, I still use augments for my healers and tanks when I group up with others and none of my DPS are dependent upon my companion to do damage especially the ones still equipped with augments for solo content.
In terms of active companions for solo content, my main (DC Healer) still uses a Mythic Chultan Tiger while the other toons with active companions have either Mythic Kavatos or Mythic Staldorf. (had no idea where they were at in terms of DPSing before the change and still have no idea after the change except that they are still doing what I want them to do!)
You joined a MMO "massively multiplayer online game" to be left alone? Does that not seem like a major contradiction to the game by design.
The Devs allow Cleric to have a dps (Arbiter) path to help us solo/quest, yet you choose a healing role to solo/quest. Your choice to do it, so live with it and adapt or change.
