Tal, supposidly the new generation of droids this publish are not CL 10 they are actually CL 18.

Ultimately what you should find is if you pit a CL10 droid against a CL10 pet then you should find they are about even in terms of strength, the same when used against mobs. However what we saw when looking at the probot is that droids are infact better than CL10 clones in some cases.

yah last patch they were lvl 13

the only thing this does i've noticed is limit it to one pet or one droid if you don't have any ch skills

also droids can be used "out of the box" so-to-speak.... pets have to be tamed and take a week to grow
and pets can be given food to buff their health/action/mind or all at once.... also food to heal wounds, and can do "tricks" to heal mind damage/wounds
also some pets can be mounted (although many would argue this is a useless ability)

So if non-DE's can control a droid that is near lvl18 then why can't non-CH's control higher lvl pet??

7) Droids don't have Vitality. I don't know what happens when they get DB'd.

Hmm, I understand that they now have droid repair tools and droid stims, so it seems like some kind of vitality concept would need to exist for them. /shrug, dunno.

droids do have vitality. my bad.

Bottom line is that to get our CL10s to the level of the new droids it would requre MUCH more work and alot of generational cloning and we would still have the fear of it being an invalid pet. The DEs fan do fu(king factory runs fer crying out loud! I'm not gonna cry 'nerf the DEs' likesome of themcried 'nerf CL10 BE pets'when our CL10s were better but for crying out loud throw us a bone

I placed an order with my DE friend tonight and he explained to me that I have a choice of a "tank" with 6k HAM and 100 or less damage, or a 4k HAM one that did about 150 damage. Both have 25% resists across the board I believe, although I'll know more when I get my hands on em (I went with the 4k/150).

I could of course be upset about this, but to be perfectly honest, these stats aren't that different from the CL 10's we can make. And I still have a rediculous CL 10 in my datapad that has like 8k HAM and 60% kinetic and 100 damage, rofl. Yea, it was a result of a horrible failure during experimentation of a would-be CL 20ish pet. Oh well. Maybe 2 wrongs do make a right, lol.

Did I mention that they get factory runs
