Thread: do you ever use 3 pets at a time?
(and having a BE'd gurreck just ain't the same)Only time i can remember having 3 pets out is when i have just tamed a baby.
Else i sometimes use a lvl 50BEd cat and a lvl 17 Bantha.
I love the cats! I used to use 3 GSPs named Tic, Tac and Toe for a long time. They were an awesome trio. Then along came the nerf bat. I now use a wild Gurreck, (lvl 50) and a BE Gurreck (lvl 20). I send in the 50 and let him start the fray then send in the 20. He doesn't hit for a lot but it all helps. I really miss hunting with the 3 GSPs though, and they didn't stand on top of each other back then either. Now, unless you work at placing them, they all stand in the same spot and look like a blob of matter. Oh well, maybe they will fix CH again, but it sure doesn't look promising.
3 pets out are way more trouble than they're worth. BE's cannot make very good level 23 pets that can take the type of abuse, say on Dathomir or Endor and even to a lesser extent, Lok. You'll end up burning through a lot of Stims and losing Pet Vitality. Not only that, but it is very difficult to control 3 pets at once, you get a lot of problems with pets stopping, autostoring, running away or chasing enemies away, etc.
If I'm fighting Mobs, I'll usually pull out 2 well-made BE CL35 Gurrecks. I use one to tank and the other for protection, should one of the Mobs attempt to take a stab at me.
For most occasions, I use 1 CL68 or CL69 BE'd Gurreck as my main tank (they Deal more Damage and have higher Resists, which means less Healing).
Gurrecks are my preferred Tank of choice because they have very few pathing issues in comparison to some of the other species and keep up well with most vehicles.

Once in a blue moon, I will pull out my 2 razors and my gsp. Not very often, though, the razors take hits too easily.
I do use three pets when I can However, inevitably one of them always seems to auto-store or slow crawl almost immediatly so it usually ends up being two anyway.

I have three out all the time, but it's because I'm in front of Coronet Starport selling them, generally. Sometimes I'll pull out two (generally my CRC's, Saang and Guinn) to lope behind my mount, but I get sick of having to heal them any time I run into something like, oh, tabbages.

I miss the days of coming up with interesting combos...that were NOT bio-engineered!
I have 3 Veermok's I made, Moe, Larry, and Curly. Plus I have my harvest/fighter bot, Hoover. The Veermok's are my specially made Kinetic tanks, all have 10K Health, and 60% Kinetic. So they're nice to have around. But against guys that shoot guns, they aren't as effective. But it's nice to see them gang up on someone.
The only effective combination of 3 pets I use aren't all creature pets. One trapping droid, one mount and one tank.
