Unless you want to look cool or roleplay, there is pretty much no reason to waste time/money/space on a mount.

I dissagree... im not gonna pull my swoop out and drive for 400m then store it... thats a waste of money. If your a CH the dewback family (mountain or cannible if u can findem) are great. Giant Spats must stay under their max size when mounted... Bol may be the best cause they can probably be full grown. I would say get a Bol. If your not a CH a Carrion Spat or Lesser Bol will go well.

i have a couple of mount that i use. i have a savage humbaba, the largest mount that you can get. i also have a dewback and a brackaset. it depends on what i am doing. i keep the dewback around because it we my first mount. and i just like the other 2. i have a bull bantha also in my datapad for the up coming patch and i will be looking for a cupa just to see how these guys are. what i heard was that for burst speeds the birds are faster but the run out of gas quickly and the 4 bracks and there relatives are slower but last longer in burst speeds. im not sure about the dewbacks and bols. for me they just plod along.

Male brack's come in at CL30, Females at CL29. These are the biggest mounts unless you go for a BE one. The savage Hum is CL24?

The brackaset is the highest CL mount but the savage humbaba is the tallest.

All mounts are the same speed at a normal run. At a gallop there are 3 different speeds.

The birdshave the fastest gallop but the shortest duration. The brackaset / humbaba have the slowest gallop but the longest duration. The dewback / bol are in the middle for both.

I currently prefer the kaadu for two reasons:

1. It doesn't run so much when attacking - the dewbacks run away a lot;

2. Its head motion when mounted is easier to take. The bol and dewback both have an up-and-down motion that really bothers my eyes. The kaadu head is less in my field of vision, easier to take.

I don't own a spat. Got run down by too many of em when I was a noob. And they (IMHO) are ugly.

In my oppinion it's up to your personal likes and dislikes.

I for one would never have or use a Kaduu or Carrion Spat, i can't stand the sounds they make, i tamed a Spat some time ago, but released it before i was finished training it, because i couldn't stand it.

So now i just use my lesser plains bol from the pre-ch days, he is trustworthy and not afraid of taking on a frenzied graul if i get hurt, he can hold it for enough time, so i can run and set up camp and call a couple of Graul and send them in to save him. only once have he been incapped.

It depends on what you mean by 'best', but I'd have to say, CL for CL, the best deal is the giant carrion spat, which has a 2000+ HAM at CL 7. Compare this to a lesser dew with a HAM of 900 and a CL of 9, and you see why it's a bargain.

The savage humbaba is CL 24, and thus has a lower HAM than the male brackaset at CL 30, but the savage humbaba is the tallest mount in the game.

I love my Male Brackaset , Opel, as a mount. He is cl 30 9700 hams and 300 dmg with 30% resists. Very nice to ride to a mission and tell my mount to go tank for me. He is also the right speed so that the rest of my pets can follow as I ride. It's all up to the player I'm sure, but for short distance (2k mor less) mission runs, old Opel is hard to beat and they are plentiful all over Dath.
