As a relatively new MBH I am enjoying making pets, but with the recent CU changes I have stopped making food/doc stuff with my alt as I dont know how it is all going to change.
This led me to spending lots of time getting JTL done but now i'm stuck until I group.
Anyway, back to BE land, what pets are people creating now? As we are going to have all but Health on out pets post upgrade what are people taking the gamble on?
Will they average all HAM stats to give the new health, take just health etc? I am collecting DNA at the moment but feel a bit owrried that I am creating pets that I dont know how they will look after CU. ANyone seen anything on it?
Chers,

Yeah, I know, I meant what pets are people making on live at the moment (pre CU) as the pending CU coming that is going to change the stats on the pets people have made etc.

no one knows what pets post CURB are going to be like...so we really can't say.
The devs have said that with weapons and armor, the quality is scaled, so if u have the best armor on the server pre-CURB, u have the best armor on the server Post-CURB.
Looking at it from that POV, pets may follow the same principle, so whatever we make will be balanced.

Well to answer your question, most pets fall into these categories: non-CH mount with no appreciable combat value; non-CH 'legit' tank with ham 8k6k4k, damage around 100 and kinetic under 20%; non-CH 'uber' tank with ham 11k8k6k and 60% kin resists, damage in the upper 100s to 200s, with any combo of specials; and CH pets, almost always with max kin and high (>40%) ener resists, armor, and HAM all over 10k, usually aimed to be triplet (22-23), twin (35) or MCH (70) in level

I have 2 accounts, a Chef/MM/MA & MCH/BE and have totally stopped making anything(except for my own personal needs and a few basics that everyone needs, like sythsteak etc), collecting resources mostly.
And now I have time to stop and grind my chef to master though...I hate grinding. But now he is 2134 in chef and now I can make brandy and it might not be needed so much in the new CU. (yes I am in testcenter testing it, too)

I'm ambivalent. On one hand, I just got these 6 samples of Bark Mite Burrower Queen and these 8 samples of Mutant Rancor... And I can't decide if I want to use them to craft some really nice pets with for some guildies as gifts with them or if I want to wait until after the CU and maybe have to trash the samples cause they aren't viable any more...
On a side note, have people tried to do straight Bark Mite Burrower clones? I did one out of curiousity (and in the wild with my droid and pyollian) (maxing phys and aggr) and it turned out rather nice I thought, although in hindsight I maybe should have put a point into prow instead of maxing phys... And I forgot to take a screenie. Will have to do that tomorrow.

I spend a great deal of my time, recently, making ~lvl35 twin sets. I have a decent recipe and they are a popular item. I don't know about other servers, but Bria is seeing a huge influx of CH's. Even before this influx, I predicted (and still keep this notion) that CH will be uber.

The only thing we have any info on right now pet wise is being able to control up to CL80 pets now - so I could suggest aiming for the best CL40 twin set, a CL80 recipe, or some variation of triplets totalling CL80.
There will be a conversion process, but it seems fair to say that pet levels will remain intact - their stats may change though. Aim for Kinetic and Energy resists and don't worry about stun or blast anymore.
They are not going to invalidate an entire professions pets by altering pet levels without a huge outcry.

*pulls head out of sand* I'm just keeping on keeping on lol..cranking out the usual 20%kin cl10's that fly off the shelves, turning out a few twins and the occasional custom order when I take a break from collecting resources (or feel guilty about putting it off for so long lol) and sticking with my " if I ignore it this nasty curb rumor will turn out to be a bad dream" mindset

I haven't been stocking up on anything really except for meat (although there isn't a single good spawn right now on chilastra) because remember, meat is going to be significantly harder to obtain after CURB. I only make things if people ask me too.
I stopped creating pets although I may make a few more because they are good money, but I don't see much point until I have information on how badly it will be nerfed, otherwise its a waste of time.
