The Gronda was one of my first real tanking pets, before the big ch nerf that is lol

back then they had stats that were awesome, I even preffered the reg gronda to the war gronda due to armor. He was white and named Granite. the name suited him damn i miss him lol he could tank anything lol

after the nerf I decided to let him go and he deserved the retirement. I didnt have the heart to see him get beatup all the time. he retired with his head high.

I wish they still had the old stats. todays gronda's are ok but after Granite's tough hide I couldn't replae him with another of such unequal quality.

They run alot lol and aren't good on hills but they rock none the less, shaking the planet when doing tricks lol

hmmm guess im a little stuck in the past aren't I lol

I think back to those days, it was a totaly different game, There was a sense of fear beacuse you knew if the pets dont hold the agro you are prolly going down. I cant tell you how many times I had to school people on how to fight beacuse they would just shoot and keep shooting lairs, run off and attack the mission targets before I could send my pets in.........I remember I was doing sharnaf missions and some idiot rode up and decided to poach my mission, well I guess he was thinking since I was doing them they could not be that hard so he attacked a sharnaf, 5 secodns later he was incaped so he does it again, incap well the idiot does it a THIRD time.....I was laughing my arse off, Thats what he gets for mission poaching!

You can still capture some of that experience by doing sharnaff lairs Unarmored and Unbuffed (that's the only way to fight ). Our player city is on Corellia, so a lot of our guild hunts end up being sharnaff missions on the outskirts of town. It's a lot of fun, and a great way to get new players off to a running start.

You can go from Novice Scout to Novice CH in a single evening from the harvests, and everyone can actually contribute productively to the fight. It's seriously like the old days... I love being able to run around with a group of eight random (unoptimized) guildies and have a productive evening. As opposed to rancor missions on Dathomir, which (while faster for advancement) don't really allow the new people to get in much damage on the targets.

I had both Gronda types at one point. When I was still leveling my way up to MCH, they were both proud tames. They're unique in features and simply for the fact that you don't see many CH's, let alone CH's running around with Grondas/War Grondas as pets. I actually managed to sell them both back in the day. NOW GIVE ME A GRONDA JUGGERNAUT TO TAME! That would be a nice trophy pet!

I tamed a Gronda a few weeks ago in the mountains in southwest Corellia. I named it Ariel. At the time I didn't really think of it as anything special, and I have yet to try it in combat. Once it's full grown maybe I'll try it out for a while.

I have (3) war Grondas I use quite regularly I think they are great you do need to keep embolden pets in a F-key if they run but they only seem to do this when down about half there health bar so I usually heal them before then. I also keep seperate commands for all 3 so when one is getting low I summon him to me heal him and send him back in..I pulled them off mission terminals in Doba Gufrel corellia..I think the missions were around 8.5 k each.
