[BUG][FIXED ON LIVE]Stalwart Guard and Mystic Guard can't target companions

I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt and assume that it's an oversight, rather than a deliberate design decision, since it would go against the philosophy that companions are supposed to allow you to run group-oriented builds (for example support builds) during solo play.
Especially since it was probably never considered that players might want to guard NPCs, since it didn't really come up often if at all, since all NPC fighters were usually immortal (or they were pets), and pets have massive damage reduction, but this isn't the case with companions.
It would help a lot with their perceived survivability issues as well, since we can't control them as well as we'd like and their AI isn't very good.
Please fix this before you let companions go live.

Kuratius✭✭✭I seem to be unable to edit my original post, but I feel like I should mention that I have continously reported this bug both in-game and using the respective bug report/companion feedback threads during every PTS patch since 7.0.1 and it still hasn't been fixed, so it probably warrants its own thread.Edited by Kuratius on May 17, 2021 10:52PM0

They did fix similar targeting issues where necromancer pets didn't target companions with their healing, so I hope that there just haven't been enough people who reported it. You can always report this using /bug or /feedback on the PTS as well, if you want.Edited by Kuratius on May 17, 2021 10:59PM0 -
