Thread: Should HAM and Kinetic be the only factor?
CL for mobs in the game take everything into consideration. The flaw is that clones are working on a totally seperate system which is what has gotten us into this mess in the first place. I personally feel that the rating system that has been applied to the game should also apply to use because it's weights HAM, damage and resistances in a very fair manner.
One of the things to take note of with mobs in the game is how kinetic and energy protection is much lower across the board. This is because these are very common damage types and protection to them makes the mob much harder to hurt thus it drastically increases the CL rating. Take the Merek harvesters for example. The only way they manage to have 75% kinetic is to be vulernable to energy so that counter balances the fact they are very hard to hurt with melee attacks.
Wild CL10 animals have less than 1000 HAM and no resists generally. Maybe a weak special, usually not a ranged attack.
Should bio-engineers be able to improve on nature and give us better pets? Yes.
Should they be able to provide pets that are 6x better than a wild animal of the same CL? No.
Ahh well remember that droids are supposed to be preferrable to pets, thats part of the starwars theme. Don't be surprized in Janurary when you see that the combat droids have significant advantages in combat over your common pet. The difference is that droids won't be allowed special attacks like poison or intimidation. So in effect pets will be able to fight at a higher level then they are based of such status effect while droids will just be raw number crunchers who deal and recieve damage. If they're CL10 then you will see they can only fight as high as CL10 unlike pets which can go higher.
Who in the heck is one-starring every single one of Tal-N's posts?
Someone is attempting to kill the messenger, I fear...
Well even the low end BH marks are tough customers. I'd say around CL30 so it's no wonder your probot got whacked.
