I like my new bear fren, but he despawns if you swap bars. That's kind of wack since I swap constantly. If you have the same bear ult on both bars, will he never despawn?

I'm pretty sure I liked my character as they were and I'm going to swap back to the three templar lines I had before, since I already spent a lot of time figuring out the actives and passives and which bar each are on for maximum synergy. I'm throwing all that out just to have a bear fren. Which, while awesome, I don't think improves my character at all, and actually kind of makes it worse lol.
