Is it just me or does anyone else think nobody of any profession(except maybe a jedi) should be able to go toe to toe against a rancor? I mean anything of that size and weight would swat you once and that would be it for you,right? Well i would think so. So why does this always happen to me,lol? In pvp i get incapped, and db. All the while my rancor is wailing on this guy. Then while i am cloning my rancor gets incapped. This just does not seem right!
Is anybody with me on this? Or am i just a sore loser?

Wow, you must be reeeealy new friend! After the latest nerf you can say that about any pet, against a PVP guy that knows what he's doin.

Yeah, I agree with you. I use Rancors, though not often. I prefer my toxic merek battlelord, which is just this little wimpy looking guy but is able to take more punishment due to better kinetic resists. It just seems wrong to me, the Rancor should indeed be much tougher. But hey, at least they do look cool.

Rancors should be one of the best. But we all know the devs don't know what they are doing over at SOE anyways...

I love the Rancor, I've got several of them. All BE made, with some top notch stats.
Its to bad the regular Rancors suck for a creature with such a fearsome rep.
My only gripe with my BE Rancors is that the custom color didn't stick when I trained them. So my blood red Rancors, are just the normal color.

IMHO the weakest rancor in the wild should be level 60, and that should be the "cripled rancor youth" or something. then it should go up from there. none of this **edit** stuff. IMHO rancors are way too weak. take what is the bull rancor right now, and make it the weakest rancor there is.
a rancor should inspire fear, and be hard to kill. the only rancor that measures up is the ancient bull rancor.
bah. anyways people who think that a rancor should be stronger so they can win in PvP get no sympathy from me, because CH is not a primary combat class, and we shouldn't own in PvP. however people who think the rancor got the shaft in this game and should be way more fearsome, I'm with you all the way.

I have 3 rancor's (2 regular, 1 gnarled). I sooo wish they would be much, much stronger than what they are.

I suggest that you get ar1 and 60 kinetic for what pet you choose to use... the lower kinetic pets in PvE just suck up too many pets stims. If you get a pet that also have all resists, it will have a much higher CL. Even though my pet hits for 410, I easily outdamage him.... but he does his job.... he tanks, cheap.

rancors sell very well. people want them. i sell 2-3 a day at 10k each. i dont think the fact that they arent as good as the best a BE can make makes any difference. even the gnarled variety sell very well. i think they sell just because they are rancors.

In KoToR, you only fight one adult rancor. You have to either get it to eat a grenade, or lay mines and get it to follow you 6-8 times. Ifyou get too close, it smashes you immediately. You can fight baby rancors on the Star Forge planet. They're not that tough, but they're about right.
In Jedi Academy, you really have to use your skillz to kill rancors with a lightsaber, or you can bea **edit** and shoot it with heavy weapons from a safe position--that takes about 5 minutes of continuous fire. It'svery cool to be picked up by a rancor and swing your saber in his face! There's a mutant rancor, but you don't fight it. It'll kill you right away, so you have to trap it.

out of all the star wars games i have played this is the only one that really pisses me off because the reps of rancors just dont exist. they are so weak and laughable in pvp its not even funny. ive always said rancors should be able to like do aoe damage with their big arm swing or smash the ground and knock people down or something! the absolute worst is watching a tka punch and kick a giant freaking god knows how many ton rancor to death! talk about the imagination soe has got. i would honestly love to hear george lucas's response if he saw that happen first hand in this game.

oh yeah and on the star wars database website they say rancors ferocity is so well known because they can take down creatures twice their size! you know rancors are mean when they can kill something twice its size!
