When will we be able to turn off the permanent passive skill of companions?

Lykeion

We need to be able to turn off the permanent passive skill, and I've seen similar requests more than once. The new Argonian companion's passive skill is a negative for fishers who need roes rather than achievement, and to avoid that I'd better never level him up in case I accidentally get his passive one day. That's just weird.

Instead of turning it off they should fix fishing so it makes sense, like Rare fish can be filleted, the treasure value is terrible anyhow. Have them have a much higher chance of having row and the higher the quality the more roe can drop.

Could rework it where he gives you special (universal) bait that works in all pools that gives increase chance of getting achievement fish. I say universal bait as I don't want a repeat of Bastian 3 power pots btw don't actually work and vendor for piddly squat. The change would be 1 inventory slot that gets the special bait that needs to vendor for gold as well or he gets peeved when you destroy them.

Thanks for the heads up. It would be a nightmare to have this unlocked and permanent

Can't you just fish while Sharp isn't summoned?

Once you max the companion their passive is always active whether you have them summoned or not.

Makes no sense to discourage people from maxing them.

I didn't realize - I've yet max any of mine. Yeesh, that is situationally inconvenient.

To be honest it would be good to turn off Bastians useless trash potions, which forces only more micromanagement to my inventory.

Does anyone happen to know what Azandar's passive is?

from the patch notes:

Azandar grants “Azandar’s Inquisitiveness” which gives you a chance to discover research portfolios when searching containers. Portfolios can contain crafting recipes, treasure maps, research notes, survey reports, and other documents of value.

Like you can dismiss your companion and bring them back I do this often switching to different companions

dosco

it's about the passive that stays active even when the companion isn't

Ah I didn't see them there. Thank you!

We will get to disable the passive when we can equip hair/beard styles and helmets on our companions...

Zyva

I hope this gets more attention! It needs to change, either make passives toggleable, or change the fishing passive!

Lavennin

I was hoping to use him but with this passive, I really can’t. I fish for roes regularly.

SkaraMinoc

I've wanted this since they released companions 2 years ago.

They could adjust Sharp's passive so he has a higher chance at getting roe, to offset the extra trophies.

Ember's passive also gives you a bag of gold instead of normal pickpocketing loot, which I think rules out getting furnishing plans and motifs and purple loot.

If they don't make these toggleable, they should at least make these ones ADD drops instead of replace them. Mirri's works that way, which prevents her passive from being an accountwide nerf like Sharps' or Ember's.

And I know some people who are highly annoyed with Bastion's special potions clogging up inventory when they're running through a delve and picking up everything not nailed down. This would also help with that.
