I would agree with the others. The LLC is slow and misses to much to be my choice in PvP. Plus you have to be too close to use the specials, which usually means insta-death if you're toiling with a TK. With the scatter you can land DoT and run psuedo-safely at the 64m range.


But I am no PvP deity, I got pwned by Tuskens last night so take my .02 for what's it worth.

forget LLC in pvp ,specially since you dont have any dizzy\knowdown yet .


use scatter but be carfull with its action costs . get buff or a action\(something) power-up or food\drinks .


RP aint bad either and as usually much lower action costs and still is AP1

I actually use my scout pistol over my scatter now.


Although my scatter is faster, and does more damage, the HAM costs are about half that of my scatter.


In PVP, i'll eye shot them with the scout, set them on fire, change to my carbine and knock them down, come in close with the LLC and use the lightning attackings. Works with 1% of all professions. (and that 1% if chef)

The LLC is useful for 1 thing in PvP.


Lightning Cone 2. This will clear the lamos out of a tough enemy group, such as, perhaps, Medics, or Dancers.


Otherwise, concentrate on the Pistols if that is your choice. I prefer carbines atm.

If your interested in pvp go Carbines with some Carbineer thrown in. That's my advice... and it's what I use currently. Just be sure to be very familiar with good foods and drinks and spice drugs or be really good friends with e Doc.

For my money I'd use a toxic merek battlelord - 40% kinetic resist, light armor, fast, poison attack, and if you have a combat medic in the group he can heal it from a distance all day long. CL is 45, still leaving you with another pet to call just as a distraction (though for CL 25 I'd look for a bio-engineered pet with high kinetic resists).

Lol, one broken profession for another. Unless you are holo grinding I would not bother. I am MCH. They have made this profession as bad a Squad Leader. lol It takes forever to level and anything that works is quickly nerfed.


If you are serious, and have a combat skill, tame a low level creature and kill yard trash to get experience. If after a few days you do level, and have not quit, try to get into large groups on Dant or one of the other planets with big nasties. The pet, currently (next nerf coming here), only has to hit the mob once to get full experience.

thank you a lot the only thing i can tell you is squad leader really doesnt take all that long. i was at fort tusken and once got 40k exp for one tusken. but only once hehe. and yes i am hologrinding. i really dont wanna do ch but its in the scout tree so im tryin to finish all that up. thanks for your input. so it takes 1 hit to get max exp?

well for the first sections of ch, you'll want to just prey on anything. it helps if you have good combat skills. just get an animal, tell it to attack something(anything, long as it doesn't die in one hit), and quickly kill the target yourself after the hit registers, so you'll get the exp butyour animal isn't smushed.

after you get some decent levels, get something medium like a gsp, or a boar wolf. take them around in groups(shouldn't be hard to find if you were able to find the groups required to level squad leader)that can kill mobs quickly, and just have it attack the target while the rest of the people kill it.



remember, exp isn't based on the animal's damage total. you get flat-rate exp, so all you need is one hit.


keep doing that and you'll have master in no time. it won't be as quick as when you used to get double exp for two pets, but it's quick enough. speaking of which don't bother to use two pets to get exp. it'll just split the exp in half between the two animals.
