The squadron is a little fragile at first until they start getting buffs, then they're almost OP. I put my tank in defensive mode, the healer in independent and the DPS in offensive mode. If you put an ARC in offensive mode it's ridiculous.

Some things you're just going to have to live with. They don't understand boss mechanics, and the hardly ever get out of the way of AOEs. But when they're buffed up, it doesn't matter after a certain point.
