Companions, Group and Instancing

Does companion gear drop in a group (from WB, DB and PB)? How is instancing in PB and delves with a group of 6 people with companions? If a group is split in separate instances, do split off people always get their companions with them at their instance or can their companion get split off them as well (and in that case, can they still drop companion gear)? Is there anything else, any known issues or things to consider for small overland squads with companions?

    From my meager experience companion gear is a dice roll for the individual character and nothing else affects if your character receives a drop or not. It seems to be a very low drop chance.

    I vaguely remember people complaining about companion gear not dropping in groups with companions out. Or something like that. I've played with a companion only solo so far and very little but I'm thinking of incorporating them in group overland zone sweeps.

    I've read you can't bring out a companion at all in groups of 4+ players. Haven't tested. You can in trials though?

    If you join trial group while having a companion out and later someone DC's in the trial, the companion automatically appears in their stead. I have no idea how companions work in overland groups, hence the topic.

    And that wound into be common enough to get anywhere near enough data to be meaningful.

    I have received a drop when grouped with one other and companions were out.
