Improved Spell Sharing (Teamwork) : Useless feat?

[Caïen]

''Your link with your companion creature allows you to share your magic with it.

Prerequisite(s): Ability to acquire an animal companion, eidolon, familiar, or special mount.

Benefit: When you are adjacent to or sharing a square with your companion creature and that companion creature has this feat, you can cast a spell on yourself and divide the duration evenly between yourself and the companion creature. You can use this feat only on spells with a duration of at least 2 rounds. For example, you could cast bull's strength on yourself, and instead of the spell lasting 1 minute per level on yourself, it lasts 5 rounds per level on yourself and 5 rounds per level on your companion.

Once the spell is cast, you and the companion creature can move farther apart without ending the effect.''

Do I read that the companion must have this feat to be in effect? Since an animal companion, an eidolon, a familier or a special mount cannot acquire an ..., this means this teamwork feat is useless except for the Hunter.

Am I right?

Well Eidolon's get feats definitely. And there are a few select cases where you can grant a companion a feat (beast bonded witch or 1 level of cavalier for instance). Seems to be a pretty corner case feat for select builds but very powerful for those who can use it I'd imagine.

I feel this is mainly for the hunter, since he grants his teamwork feats to his companion. Yes others can gain it, but I feel it's like a "hunter" feat that they generalized.

Not a useless feat, but a feat for hunters only.

Hmm, looks like there is a missing line in the prereq. Something along the lines of "or be an animal companion, eidolon, familiar or special mount."

As it is written, yes it is useless to anyone not a Hunter or Cavalier (their ability to give others teamwork feats) or Inquisitor (if they can get a companion, animal domain works, their solo tactics will work)

Talk to your GM, I doubt they will say your companion can not take it. Same with eidolon or mount or familiar.

there is an archtype for familiers that let them use master's team feats Valet..and i belive animal companians gain feat as they gain hd, same for eidolons (unless you synth and then you allready overpowered).

edited. ok missed a bit of the question. thought you talked about the fact normaly familier get no feats
