See my post with logs if you have not yet,demonstrating how I solo the higher ham mobs. As far as your examples, they prove a point, but I am sure I could kill either of those CH pets given the right circumstances (without my own pet or using consumables). As far as the merek deaths head, those are extremely difficult to solo regardless of class (true solo, no pet). In the wild it would be even worse than a CH pet. Note also that with the current focus of the combat devs, melee will get even better at doing what you demonstrate here.

that's why i'm abandoning commando. All these people complaining that we were too powerful, and so what was the devs solution? Make a 2.5 times damage enhancer against melee when we equip our weapons. So now when I get within 16m to use my flamethrower, I can get killed in one shot by high level mobs. I'm also a pistoleer, and it's utterly ridiculous that I can beat the crap out of a mob with my pistol equipped, but as soon as I use my flamethrower on him, that same mob will mop the floor with me. Commando has been nerfed to uselessness.

I deffinatly see this lack of pve preformance from my commando freinds. I used to a commando, but I quit a day or two before I would have been master, started before bandwagon. But even more important than pve is pvp. Its a joke, when I was a commando I could solo bestine, I can solo a master commando man, taking at most 350 dmg, could probably solo two. I still feel a connection to commando and feel strongly that you need some fixes. Yesturday I was targeted by 3 flame 2 attacks, but with each one my character did wonderfull animation where I take a step to the side and the attack misses or is dodged. fyi, the master commando I'm refering to posts here very often.

I'm sorry, but you guys are wrong. I am a Master Commando, and I am still the rapist I have always been. I went hunting on Dantooine with my pet Sludge Panther and proceeded to decimate everything I came upon. I was hunting for force sensitive doods out by the abandoned rebel base, and managed to kill every single one that I came across. Thats 27 force adepts with 80% resist all. If you are not doing well, then you are doing something wrong.

There's your reason. If you're not well into CH, you're in deep doo-doo. Could you do the same w/o your pet tanking?

I have some very good pets. Like a previous poster here, there is really nothing on Dathomir, that I have found, CREATURE wise, that I can not solo as a Master Commando/Creature Handler 3-3-1-0.

For me that's not the issue. The issue is PvP. I am completely useless in PvP. I have great composite, but nothing seems to help, within 20 of getting into action I am on the ground and waiting for Inevitable death and faction point loss.

I could also solo almost anything on Dath with my pet and FT IV. So why bother? That's alot of skill points I could be using on something more worthwhile.

Exactly. Without a creature, you would get owned. I think the fact that we need creature handler not to support our skills, but just so we can survive, is a crime. So now if you want to be a commando, you have no choice but to have CH skills if you want to be worthwhile. As if the problem with too many people with creatures wasn't bad before, it's only going be worse now.

Check out my logs and see how I did pikets without my pets. I am dropping CH because I don't need it anymore. In PvE we are not underpowered, it is just harder than before. In PvP, like someone else said, we are a joke since everyonewants to kill us to get back for our whole 3 week reign as kings.

I agree with Solomon....

and fact is...you guys above......NOBODY does anything without pets anymore......

It is fact.

orion thats bs i have never used a tank besids me no pet no nothing i need a tank so i went tk so i could be my own tank iv neve like relying on some thing els and i no many many many many ppl r the same way as me

um... just gotta point out that nobody can tank in pve, it's just not viable with the way the game works. The only tanks in pve are pets, weather your commando, tka, othermeleeer, randomrangeduser, BH, ect. Weather you die fast (whack whack dead) or die slow (whack whack whack whack whack dead) you're still dead in the end.

Heck I'm just a passing artisan and I felt the need to interject this little tidbit of wisdom.

I really think if we forego the idea of solo and instead group <use other players as tanks> we will do well in PvP and PvE. Especially in PvP where the guy on the first target won't look up until its decap'd or they are.

In a group, get all hyped up with doctor buffs, as a master marksman we can do crowd control very well, when things get settled dot the target, success. In a group where someone else can do crowd control, oh boy.

Very little is said or done about what we can do within a group. Within a group we are actually much more powerful. Even with the damage add for melee now, I can regularily setup kneeling 3m from my target without risk and dot it. If you look at PvP, in group, go after the first few and the pet wave. This will allow you to pick targets to dot.

In a multiplayer game your ability or inability to solo is meaningless. Great if you can, so what if you can't.
