I was kind of wondering how people were getting really good pets, when with all my experimenting around with different low level combo's, I keep coming up with crap.



The best I've made that I would consider using was CL 11(damnit) 3k HAM and 20% resists.

I think there is more to this than just using that DNA anyhow. I used 5 samples of SAID DNA, and my creatures came out lvl18. That was without experimentation. I think people are just trying to get us nerf'd due to us haveing FUN unloke other professions. I am sorry, but if this is real...well post the formula and what you did. Otherwise this story looses alot of merit, and the kam should be left alone.

I doubt this is a bug at all because pre-nerf pets of the same CL are still better than this bio pet.


Huh? Show my one cl 9 pet pre-patch with 9k ham, 330 damage and the resists listed. Those are more like cl 30 pets. Nice work on finding this, and just as a note, this has been posted for the devs. This isn't someone trying to nerf BE's, creatures like the cl 9 pet above will do nothing but cause people to want to nerf us.

Maybe its ot a bug at all. Maybe the devs though of a very clever way to further degrade the power of the ch profession. If people see that they can get decent pets without haveing to put even one point into ch then they migh just decide to use ch points elswhere. Just a though.

Thanks Vshbaa. Glad to get confirmation this is a bug. I had a lot of people freaking out when I told them of the lvl 17 9k HAM 49% resist narglatch I made on patch day, I've been pretty hesitant to tell others just how I did it so there's not a bunch of BE's running around making pets that throw the new creature balance all to hell. Since then I've made a lvl 14 gurrcat with the same stats, and a lvl 12 with just slightly lower ones. Ultimate power feels great, but I don't want SWG as a whole to suffer from our madness .

Played aorund with this today... this is a nasty bug.


Wondering what other creatures have resists that aren't showing up in the DNA sample. Thats my take on whats happening considering the resists jump when physique is experimented upon. CL19 AR1 carrion spat (resists drop off when light armor engages at 500/500).

5 Nocuous KahmurithDNA Samples and 2 points of experimentation into Physique (I've posted that before)


Come onto Test Center and I'll show you one. Or read the dozens of posts made by others who have done this. I have comformation from Kel that this is being fixed. Why would I want to take fun away from our profession? I'm just trying to keep it balanced.

And to add to this further, there is a 1:7 chance that this will happen, but the cl is still low for such stats.



I made a CL 2 Vir Vur with 4k/4k/3k HAM, 48% resists, Strong Poison,and 140-150 Attack, today

Not that I am supporting exploiting this bug but people who run out and tattle on their own class always piss me off, even if they do it for the right reason. Post a bug and let it go. You don't need to be emailing the Devs and acting like your "in" with them. "I talked to so and so and he said X"

What are your panties so tight about? Many people were worried about this bug, and Vshbaa posted info that many people were wishing to know.

I tried doing this with 5 dna but it came out in the 20's. I used all 10 exp points though.. I will test using only two and see what happens. This doesnt seem like a bug to me. Just something you can do with bio engineer skills. We are Dr Moreau. Pig and Elephant DNA just dont splice.
