Limited to 60 on console. 20 More would help a lot. Because why sacrifice combat stats and perks because of companions? It’s what you end up doing on console.
In a nutshell, to keep the game at least a little challenging. Thralls suck now, that’s true. OTOH the player is OP when compared to what it used to be.
If you land a good thrall, at least as good as they can be, with the down but not out system, it’s really unlikely that both end up dying, unless you realy messed up . If you don’t use an authority, build you’ll be strong enough to watch over your thrall. If you do, your buffedt hrall/two thralls should watch over you.
I love strong thralls, even though I am experienced and soloed this game content quite a few times, but I can understand their design choice. When I want to play with super thralls, I play single player, spawn myself a fetching Ladagara and a gorgeous Arena Champion and my game is basically seeing how fast both melt everything while fighting half naked! 
Do you have a keyboard?
AFAIK, on console (at least Playstation) a keyboard only serves to write notes, journals, etc. At least I was never able to do more with it in this game…
Connect a keyboard, log onto the game, press the tilde key (this ~) and tell me if the command console pops up.
It doesn’t. You think I never tried that? 
20 agility

Bestial regalia ,khari raider helmet gloves, vermin hide pants boots.
Buffs on agility both and Musashi.
I pity your enemies already!
Ps. For rockslide and rotbranch i suggest you Tulwar and Scorpion ward
Op should just play around with the settings in singleplayer, there is absolutely no need to make the game even more easy since survival and challenge has been on a huge downhill for several years.
Currently at least we as players have become so much stronger in the current system, yes the thralls have gone from doing all fighting for you to now need your help in some situations… This last bastion should not be removed, the game is already way too easy 
Thralls are optional. We were always able to calibrate difficulty by chosing the kind of thrall we take with us, if any. Now, the only option is going with poor gear and underleveled. Just recently I cleared the dregs at level 15 with a stolen falcata and trash stolen armor. THAT was hard. That albino komodo has laser focus when it bites!
The rest was smooth sailing as the spider dropped the katana.
Thralls were the problem if people made them a problem. It was always a choice.
Well no. That’s why I asked. You didn’t detail it in your comment or say that you ever did. So no, I didn’t know if you were privy to that information.
Yeah, but unfortunately it doesn’t work. I wish!
