There's been some talk on the boards for a long time about adding new skins. In concept this only makes sense if the devs want to keep the profession interesting. I think that the next publish should include, as a new clonable skin, the giant crystal snake. The addition would not only satisfy our ongoing request for a snake skin, but it would help make Creature Handlers more viable in PvP. In a busy combat setting, it's easy for a crystal snake to sneak in and deal some damage. I don't believe game AI takes into account the mimetic nature of the creature, so there's no real benefit in PvE. PvP is another matter.

Bring on the crystal snake!

*runs off to the bathroom at the thought of making uber PvP crystal snakes* lol, seriously though, that would be amazing. In addition I really want some of the small bird skins (flit rasps), and the reptillian flier skins.

I like the idea of bird and snake skins.

This wouldnt be love for CH, since BE pets became so good and so mwidely available the only reason to tame wild animals is to get cool pets that BE cant make - its bad enough we can make Kimo's and Rancors (which I believe should be rare and diffivult to tame and not BE), there is very little left for CH's taming skills, without taking away from them rare and exotic skins - I would love to have birds and snakes but I can see why we dont.

I'm with Nyria on this one.

With a major chunk of the CH practitioners screaming for nerf's on BE's since BE'd pets are better than tamed ones, this would only make things worse.

At the moment at least it can be argued that creature tamers have access to pet skins that can only be obtained from the wild (noteably snakes and flighted creatures) This is the only real trade outside of BE'd creatures and rares that goes on now.

Indeed, I'd suggest that some more high level beasts be added that can be tamed (make them "rare" by all means) so that "pure" CH's have something to trade. The biggest legitimate compaint they have at the moment is the extremely poor opportunities the profession has for making money.

Ideally though I'd also like to see some skins that can only be bioengineered (looking suitably weird and freakish). Hmmm - thinking about it, these could be drop-only schematics (like the "special ingredients" are supposed to be), Now that would make for some interesting possibilities...................

Being a MCH i agree that the rares should be left to them but as a BE, i'd love to be able to experiment more and make my own Island of Dr. Moreau. To come up with unique creatures that can't be caught in the wild. I love to make a Frankendurni.

I also wish we could sampleother racesand mix their DNA with creatures, now that would be fun.
