What are the average HAM's and resists for a 65-70 BE'd pet? I'm going MCH and am going to have a little bit of pistol so my pets are going to be my offense and defense. Thanks for the help.

Last time I made a pet CL65-70 it had like 13k HAM 60% kinetic around 55% energy and 70's in a bunch of other resists. As for what's average, dunno. Depends on the BE I guess.
As Ykai said Twins seem to do much better when used for offense. Triplets can give an even better DPS with three different specials firing off on one command. If you're going to use your pets for offense and defense then you really need to look at AS, Damage, and To-Hit as well as specials.
The important thing is to find a pet making BE and work with them to get what you are looking for. But please remember that custom pets take real time to make, not like other crafted items that can be made pretty much on demand. All pets require unique items to make (DNA).

The best I've been able to do is a smidge over 14k HAM at CL 70. I think it would be challenging to make something over CL 65 and have less than 12k, so I'd say the range is 12k-14k.
There is certainly no "average" for resists though. Sorry. On "max dps" pets I've attempted, The resists can be pretty bad, like 20%-30% in kinetic and energy. On the other end of the spectrum are the "max tank" pets that tend to have 50%+ is energy and kinetic, and pretty great resists down the line.
If you want a blend of offense and defense, you'll probably want something in-between.

From my experience, the HAM levels can vary greatly. So to give a ballpark, I wouldn't be sure.
If your going to get a high level pet, maybee you shoud consider twins. Alot of BE's recomend it as if one is tanking, the other is attacking.

Thanks for the replies. Sounds like twin or trips are the way to go.

Like everyone else, I'd say 13k-14k for level 70s. Also like everyone else, I'd say don't waste your time. You can get level 23s (or even level 10s for that matter) with 10k ham and good kinetic. Using one triplet for tanking, and get two with good damage, attack speed and to hit rates. The total damage output and tanking will be better. You also might want to consider waiting until we get some info about the combat rebalance, which could significantly alter the CH picture bymaking some pets useless (any pet nerfs are expected to be retroactive) or perhaps by making level 70s much better.
