I've been a CH since release. I cancelled my account last fall out of frustration and then resubscribeda couple months ago. While I've never completely mastered CH, I've seen a fair number of the ups and downs and I've followed the boards. I'm curious where everyone thinks CH will stand in PvE after the Combat Balance. What will happen if armor is capped at 60% and buffs at 100%? Will pets be more desireable when doing high end PvE?Or will the uber buffed and armored melee professions still rule the Star Wars universe?

We'll stand on the chopping block.
Creature Handlers will become the tank, and possibly damage dealing, profession. We will be a FoTM again. The melee professions will be furious they lost the ability to tank (CoB was introduced to allow them to do this). The others will again be upset we can combine a combat profession with Creature Handler and yell, "Nerf!" at the top of their lungs. We will have no allies.
Soon, the cycle will start all over again, because I don't believe the devs have the brains to make Creature Handler an exclusive combat profession.

i think once the combat balance happens, i will go back to MCH, i have been one for abou 8 months and i just dropped it because it is totally useless. but now i am a BH, and when i hunted jedi with my MCH pets, they did a good amount of damage because jedi have no armor. the pets were at least as good as my BH pistols were. i think it is armor that is really hurting us. our pets have 45% armor and do little damage to armored players. whereas melee have 90% armor and do a lot of damage to everything. i am almost always willing to bet that my pets can beat most players as long as they are unbuffed and unarmored.

Combat revamp? haha good one. The question should be: How long can a creature handler wait for that before just dropping MCH? 1 year maybe, or even longer?

Completely honest and realistic opinion. Unfortunately, based on DEV actions to date, seems highly likely to happen.

except in the case of CH, all that's needed is for one ignorant person to yell "pokemon" or "pet wars", and we'll be immediately nerfed.

True, and we know very well that when it comes to creatures, there are a lot of ignorant people.
The second our numbers start to rise in their little tracking system (I really want to see the current profession break down, not October 2003), we are going to be nailed.

In Theory I think we sould beable to be more competive in PVP. Until the TKA and Ranged Armor wearing Buffing I can take all kind of dmage and kill every one start getting beat by pets start to cry
and then we will get UBER NERFED again. But I will be having fun till then.

Couple questions what is a FoTM and a CoB.
Sorry I'm an acronym n00b.
I know that FoTM is Flavor of the Month, right now that would be Swordman/Fencer/TKM or Rifleman/Combat Medic or Rifleman/Swordman stuff like that.
don't know about CoB
