Just an idea for next year's story and main expansion, how about an option to control your companion's combat tactics; the two major points of interests are dodge roll and aggression.
Dodge Roll
Default - based on the weapon they have equipped.
100% health - anytime the target comes into melee range.
75% health
50% health - behaves like two-handed or dual-wield.
25% health - behaves like 1h + shield or frost staff.
Never - under no circumstance will they ever attempt to dodge roll even when about to die.
Tactics
Default - default behavior.
Aggressive - only attacks when you attack with an offensive ability or weapon. Will not retaliate when you are attacked.
Cautious - only attacks when you heavy attack. Will not attack on ability or light attacks, will not retaliate when you are attacked.

Eshkerigal✭✭✭We need something like that. I hate when my healing companion rolls away. It's annoying. She cannot even reach me with her heals so... The only solution for now is to give her 1h+shield.
Same with winged twilight. Twilight's ranged attacks cause all "big pulls" painful - she stays away from player and mobs attack her, avoiding player's aoe.
All other pets need rework too - need something more than only "y" and mouse click or HA.0 -
ajkb78✭✭✭✭✭Can we have a checkbox for "Moves out of aoe damage" too please? And default it to yes. In my experience standing in stupid seems to be the main reason companions die.0

✭✭✭✭✭We need an option to set their range. I avoid companion ranged weapons completely as they tend to aggro something, then continuously walk backward, sometimes even resetting the fight.
I want the option to set a destro user to stay in melee range so I can actually use the abilities they have. Watching them waste time running in to cast one ability, then dodge roll and walk back to long range to continue pew-pewing feels like it could function a bit cleaner.0
