I have been playing as CM/TKM/4-0-0-0 Commando sence first respec. I admit i love it, but i was doing some thinking, it seems that most pets can nearly match, if not exceed the TKM attacks. I am a solo player, but i enjoy tanking in a group. And i figured i can use my pet as tank, DOT's on the target then focus on healing the pet. I know my defense will suck when i do MCH/MCM, but i think with some play it will work ok. Well anyone have any opinion on if i should change templates or stick with TKM/MCM/commando?

i think with the new stuff for publish 19 i can get away with healing and using a pet, now that the healing aggro is downplayed and the healing in increases i should be ok. Its worth a shot though. ill post back once i find out how it works out.

In 8 out of 10 cases the critters will aggro you and not your pet anyways, be it cos you do more damage or cos of the "healing" aggro.
SoI personallywould stick to the TKM/CM/Commando template, it is way more effective in most cases.
If you are looking for some change though, sure give CH a try. If you have fun with it, good for you.
They will only start going for u once you start attacking them. I send my pets in, throw in burn/ disease/ rupture etc etc, then once that's done, I go in. rarely get squished as I heal myself and my pets as I go along.
Saying that DO NOT EVEN TOUCH CH until the devs sort out the lovely nerf they have given us since Pub 19 went live, pets are now level 1(0) with around 10 HAM

Question since we're talking about pets real fast (not wanting to steal your subject thunder).
Pre CU i had 3 pets that were lvl 1(0) and i was able to call them at novice CH block (only one of course). i would cycle through them for extra damage til they got hurt too much. when i finally go the CU downloaded and was able to play last week, i respec'd to novice CH and wasn't able to call them no more. i got some system message saying something about my pets. if i were to go MCH would i be able to call my old pets? they were 2 rancors and some kitty cat 
thanks for the help.

They need to be converted after the CU perhaps. Can't recall how it was done, but I think it's either from radial menu, or when you call then first time after CU.
