Actually... it works with NPC's and with Mobs. Works using droids too. Droids work the best IMHO because they have their ranged attacks. I can pull NPC mobs out singly without problem and without fail every time.

I was like well I will send a pet in and see what happens. Well what happed was it got the attension of one and ONLY one beast. A fluke? nope i did it over and over it was extreamly useful, we won the mission because of that ability....HOwever this trick dose not work on humaniod npcs that shoot. If a wild pet draws a humaniod and another humaniod shoots it will will run and attack the shooter after its done with the first and pretty much not really be controlable, tho BIO pets seemed not do this

I've made that decision too. Seems to me CH is now even more useless than ever... Don't get me wrong, I've loved being a CH - I enjoyed going out solo with no armour and no buffs and still being able to take on mid-level mobs. After the CU it just isn't fun anymore - none of my pets can hold their own against the stuff I'm fighting and usually they cannot even hold aggro despite letting them chew on the bad guys for a while before I open fire.
Just not fun anymore. On the flip side - my new template is a massive amount of fun, lots of specials to play around with actually gives me something worthwhile to do in combat and makes the character somewhat versatile.
As for the 'secret' if it is limited time only, then I guess it is going to be like what happened with the 0 CL BE pets. Problem got fixed, but those that had them were able to keep them - so once it is discovered by the devs it will be fixed and no-one else will be able to 'benefit' from it.
So, goobye fellow CH'ers! It has been a lot of fun over the last 18 months

This trick doesnt work all the time or it might be bugged I dunno. But Alot of times 2 or 3 other creatures will attack my pet also and so i call my pet back to me and we have to fight them all..... SO DO NOT DEPEND ON THIS TO ALWAYS WORK

I dont have to be mch for that. I could do that with a lvl10 pet or use a jedi skill for it.

This definitely doesn't work all the time. Many, Many times my pet got the attention of 2 or more things while he was attack another.

If you're wondering about the 'secret', see the thread "The secret is revealed."

I have to say that the original post is one of the most ridiculous I have ever seen. (I use the word "ridiculous" because I wish to remain polite, but there are dozens of far more appropriate words).
Let us imagine that the original poster really has discovered "something wonderful", and that for the sake of the CH community this has to be kept secret until after the respec period is over.
In that case, if it truly must remain a secret, he should simply say nothing. He should wait until the respec period is over, and then make his announcement.
On the other hand, what he should not do, and what would be incredibly childish, is to effectively say "I know something wonderful and I'm not going to tell you for 3 weeks. (But, oh, by the way, I am going to tell 2 other people and I really really hope that they will keep it secret)".
The last time I heard something like this was about 30 years ago in the school playground

It really doesn't matter anymore with the new BE crafting system, from what i've seen on the BE boards, old DNA goes into the system also as if it was new DNA, resulting in pets which aren't nearly as special as they would of been before. The system seems mostly concerned with the CL of the sample rather than the actual stats, a guildmate of mine was making some critters yesterday, and the creature she made from CL 60ish DNA was better than a female narglatch DNA crafting by far. I don't think using old DNA will have much impact anymore, which is a big shame...

Yes, I seriously doubt that most people would want to sink all those skill points into ch just to have a few pets with slightly higher ham and damage by using old dna.
The respect period is 2 weeks after the CU after a person first logs on, so if a person does not log into the game till june, lets say, they have 2 weeks to try out different professions.
Besides, with publish 17, they pretty much killed ch anyway.

The entire point of keeping it a secret for that time was to stop 50 percent of SWG from becoming CH, why did you think Dodece was keeping it a secret, just to be a jerk? :/

thanks for the glimmer of hope my only question.
i love this class, i love the idea of this class. there is so much potential but right now it's fairly useless in pvp and pve which i love to do. my question is simple. should i stick it out or give up hope and spec out ?
