I am a master CH myself and I would like to see a few things change.
1. specials work all the time
2. Pets that are useful. Prior to the big nerf my arachne webmaster that took me months to get actually helped me, now he is kind of worthless.
3. Bring back medium armor for certain pets With the CL limit I would not consider this unfair by any stretch of the imagination. For example current level of arachne webmaster is CL50. Bring back mediumarmor and up his dmg slightly andmake it CL60.
4. Make CH fun again. I used to love going out and hunting for rare pets cuz it was fun and the pets were useable. Now the thrill of me finding a pet is gone considering I could have a BE make a pet that could own a bull rancor.
5. Let BE's make pets that are different than those found in the wild and are unique to those found in the wild.
6. Once a month make a different creature tameable that was not previously tameable and rotate them or make a whole new breed of monster that's tameable. This would be awesome it would give us CH's something to look forward to with each publish and all other players would benefit from it cuz they would get to see a cool new monster or previously untameable monster each month.
7. Also at this point CH is not a viable way to make money which is hard for those of us who mastered in it. Wen spent a ton of skill points on this profession and are two money makers pets and mounts are now worthless. Everyone uses vehicles and CH's don't sell pets anymore could they are worthless. I remember when I used to be able to go hunt grauls and sell them for 100k a piece sometimes more. That was FUN@@@!!!!!
MAKE CH as awesome as it used to be. We are not asking to be overpowered but right now we are grossly underpowered and almost any profession can murder us. Most importantly though bring back the fun aspects of CH. Thank you!

I think a few things would have to be done to make us a more realistic combat prof
-get rid of the delay in calling out a pet. do I have to wait 15 seconds to equip my T-21? no, so why should I wait 15 secs to bring out a pet?
-allow me to bring out a pet DURING combat. I can switch rifles in combat, why can't I switch out pets? What about those times on a speeder and a person gets attacked? Calling out a pet would be nice. A fair amount of us are Riflemen, close quarters is tough for us, so bringing out a pet in this situation would really be nice.
-get rid of vitality loss. I keep my pets alot longer than I keep my rifles.
-lower the requirements for making pet stims. more pet stims could then hit the market, making it easier to get.
-increase the number of pets we can tame. Yes, I know, we actually MIGHT get something with a good kinetic res or energy res. Yes, we do have some Mereks like that now, but more would be better.
-in addition to the above, make it so that not all the high lvl pets are tough to find. Seriously, I have been a CH for a while now, and it can be tough to find decent wild pets. Now that I am a MCH, what is out there, wild wise? I finally got to see a GPS for the first time last nite, and got killed by it due to my connection. If we had, let us say, 10 lvl 50 pets, make about 50% of them common, 25% uncommon, 25% rare, this way we can have a decent shot.
-like what was pointed out above, increase the armor/ham/attacks/dam of some of them and increase the lvl.
-increase number of pets we can hold
I realize that to some these might sound like alot, but it really is not. As it stands now, out pets have the following issues:
-'poofing' out of existance
-not listening to our commands, too aggresive
-I have had a TMB get stuck in the side of a mountain on LOK
-have had an Arachne Warrior get stuck in combat with a Reptilian Flier which was dead.
-increase what we can control to above lvl 70, maybe 90, with a max of 4 creatures that could add up to 90.
I do not envision us being able to have CH as a Combat only profession for these main reasons, plus, we NEED to kill creatures and harvest them to fulfull our Scout prereq's. IF they could do all that, and that last bullet, and up our SP, it would make us alot more of a viable 'combat' role.
That last bullet, I could really live with, think about it:
enraged bull rancor lvl 89
malkloc plainswalker 84
stintaril prowler 83
female malkloc plainswalker 81
enraged rancor 80
mutant rancor 75
gronda juggernaut 70
(oh, and the mire maurder 56)
I would GLADLY give up my rifle to have ANY of these. I would not need any rifle, or any other combat skill. As it stands now, when I go out I have seen well over 4,000 pts of damage float over the heads of things I am shooting at. That or I can Conceal shot them all day long and not worry about getting hurt. With above things, I think it would even us out.

Hello All,
If already mentioned I'm sorry, I only checked back a couple of pages.
I agree with the postings that request
- Ability to pull my pets out without the 15 sec wait - it is my weapon after all
- Pets that can hit for different types of damage
- A pet that can actually fight, A Rancor does great dmg - I trained one and now it gets its butt whipped! why is that so? I would like to feel comfortable that my pets are actual weapons.
- In PVP when we pull the pet or 3 pets other players should get worried not laugh at us.
I love creature handler - I just wish I was useful during fights. ---- Happy Hunting....
