I have a couple of questions about creature-handler, im a big fan of pets in all mmorpgs and always played a pet class. Ive heard some bad talk about creature-handler in SWG but i thought id go here and check....
What kind of missions, from a mission terminal, can you do with a good pet... 3k missions or maybe 5k?
How well do these pets tank a monster, i mean the monster and pet are basicly the same thing. If you had a certain pet and leveled it up and attacked a familty member of it, and they both would be same level, would the pet die and the original monster win? (in daoc, dark age of camelot, charmed pets are worse then the original monster and cant win a fight vs a same level monster of same type unless buffed or helped).
Are bio-engineer pets better then wild ones?
What are good professions to get along with creature-handler?, i was thinking of something like creature-hander with bio-engineer (for pet heals).. but i dont know how good the pets are yet, maybe i am forced to go an offensive profession aswell...
Ill add more questions later, just hope someone can respond
grouping with your pet for missions: if your pet is lower level than you, it will lower the mission difficulty, if it is higher, it will raise the difficulty but not by very much.
Pets are the same as their wild counterparts as far as combat goes.
BE is nice for CH (I do this myself) Master BE and CL50 CH. to me the perks for master CH wasn't worth the skill points spent on it. I spent them on 2H swords, and I am the chief damage dealer when I fight using my pets. I have minimal medic for myself and always carry a large supply of pet stims (which anyone can use). I have to say though, when I had a ranged profession I was less likely to take damage. Now that I'm a melee fighter, I share the tanking with my pets, but they wil last longer than me and it seems at times I am tanking for THEM. lol
