Companion Health/Str Augs?

The Nice GM
so like most people who run a pet class, we have to constantly switch out gear to maintain our companion health or strength levels when we zone.

This might be an unattainable request, but I think I'll throw it out there regardless.

I was wondering if we could get some sort of aug based on what level of comp health/str we already have attained.

For example: on Sazir I have controllers mask (comp str 6) but since that's not part of my usual gear, I would somehow be entitled to an aug with comp str 6 on it.

Pros: I wouldn't have to switch out gear when I zone or summon my pet.

Cons: It would replace a hp/ac aug somewhere.

What do people think of this idea?

As a player, I'd love to have this. However I think it would throw off item balance. Items with focuses tend to have lower stats than other similar items on the same tier. Allowing the focuses to be turned into augs gives you the best of both items (minus tradeskilled aug benefits for that slot).
 
Could make it so when an item with Comp Str on it is obtained it could be fitted into a seperate aug slot.

Example: Bow augs were never made but the slot could be used for something like that.

Or work like thaz augs and make Companion Str./hp items made to where they can be changed into augs.

Probably too much work though
 
I dont know that you should be "entitled" to an aug with a focus on it simply because you have another item with that same focus.
 
I'm just brainstorming on a solution to the problem of always being required to have comp health/str items when you zone.
 
Maybe if you had the ability to break down a comp item into an aug form, but at the cost of not being able to revert it or something? Idk~
 
well, theres a thought, and perhaps a workable one mechanically...

the question is, where is the line drawn, since the next request will be a rehashed shaman mask thread to be able to make it into an aug... since the shaman mask focus put onto other items or being made into a movable focus was already shot down, idk about this either.
 
The gear is made to have a particular focus on it. Putting that focus on an aug devalues said gear. I'd rather see a nerf in the form of companion health or strength items made into a must equip pet targeted clicky that provides the same benefit for an hour or two, but the benefits fade if the item is removed.

There is no real legitimate reason they should count when they're not worn, they just do as a semi-beneficial glitch. There should at least be some form of sacrifice, I do not believe a single aug slot is enough of one.
