I did a search on this and the last threads about it were a year ago, sooooooo....
Just how effective is CH in PvP? Anyone got any suggestions?
I'm still heavily weighing MBH/MCH but don't know how creatures will fare against Jedi- especially with powers like /animalcalm and /animalscare.
Anyone?

CH's pretty much suck in PvP. A Jedi would decimate all of any CH's pets, hands down...

My pets can kill an unbuffed armored TK master without any trouble...the trouble comes when they are fully buffed also. They just regen everything you can throw at them....might be better if the To Hit of pets were a bit higher...but still, as a master having 3 pets and a droid is a BIG advantage. If you get in trouble start running around building and they will panic...they cant hit you and if they turn on the pets you can run back and start shooting them (buying yourself more time)

Yeah, if the TK isn't hitting back or is just incredibly stupid.Being a Wookiee, I can kill Bull Rancors without armor as a Heavy Swordsman. There is not way a TK would have any trouble with ANY CH pet...

Jedi powers. Because ya know that the devs can't go to the bathroom without thinking of them, so they get all the love 'round here...

:smileyvery-happy
h snap! You made me lol at that!
Still, I ain't hatin' on the Jedi- but I DO want to avoid taking MBH/MCH and attacking some jedi to only have my pets start roaming around after he /animalcalm-s them or worse turns them against me.
....hmmmmm maybe I should rethink this whole Creature Handler thing- BUT I WANT MY PETS!!!

HOTDOG. Apparently, an AFK jedi is almost impossible to kill by a BH. Check out the BH forums. Don't expect much from CH. WE ARE TOTALLY SCREWED AND IGNORED. And don't expect anything to change for awhile. A devs hasn't been in here since last year because they don't care and/or are cowards...

Hrmm. Well ya'll did get nerfed pretty hard back in the day-
I've been back and forth on the BH forums and It's been interesting seeing this publish play out but that's not a discussion for this forum.
Has anyone had any luck with MCH in PvP at all since the nerf?

Those are just the little ones. The big boy is Jedi Mind Trick that turns other players' pets rogue. Still trying to find out exactly what that means, but it doesn't sound like a happy time for the pet owner.

Did some duelling with the PA members last night, and brought out a couple of pets to experiment with.
They were doing full damage to my opponent, and a BE non-CH cat was doing full damage to me, as best it could, being non-CH. My GSP and kusak stalker were doing 200-250 point damage. Specials didn't seem to be having much effect, though.

Ya for the most part ya ch could suck in pvp . Well this is where a smart bio enginer can come in help us out with pvp pet's . Well on the server i play on , I have been lucky to find some smart bio enginers. If the bio enginer builds the pet with the proper dna and such , the creation in the end will be killer . If they get the HAM and resistances along with the damage attacks and the types of attack's DizzyStrike etc.. your pet in the end would be good for pvp. I have seen many vendor types like pve pets or pvp pets . Most of the pvp pets are good but most of the time if your fighting a buffed player it's 50/50 chance you might win or lose .
The ch is the main target if your pet is not set to attack yet they will zap you before having a chance to get your pet to attack .
Best way to see how your pet can do is get a duel going with different players to see how it handles this kind of combat prof .
You will at a point be able to figure its not worth fighting a buffed player or if you went wacko and asked a jedi to test your pet out.
Pvp in ch in short would be risky part less your in a big group otherwise your a prime target first before pet . Most classes can take the pet out in no time , but alot go after the ch first to stop you dead in your tracks like i said above to stop you before having pet attack.
