How to heal the companion (or tell them to heal themselves)

star-wars-the-old-republic

It seems, that even though he has the health of a decaying Ewok, my Jedi Knights first companion – the droid T7 – loves to build up the threat level.

Is there any sort of medpac I can use on him, and if there is can I tell him to use it himself if his health gets low enough to trigger his "Woe is me, I'm dying!" beeping.

T7 is by default a tank. You may think "what, why? Jedi knight is a tank" well not exactly, the Guardian AC of JK is tankish, but the other half is not, so they added the first companion to be a tank by default. If you're a tank yourself and don't want it to get hurt, then you can disable the 'taunt' ability it has so it doesn't use it. Open your companion's ability bar, look for the taunt and disable it by (right clicking?) on the ability. The little gem on the upper left corner of the icon should turn off. As for how to heal the companion, you can buy med packs that heal both you and the companion from biochemists, check the GTN there should be plenty there.
