For such a unique creature it should have something special besides that.
How can one even be surprised by this....... Once again it proves that the people behind all the Creature Handling fiascos has NO CLUE!
If I sound disgruntled it's because I am..... I am an MCH, myfirst profession, for over a year now.....
It wasBAD ENOUGHthat CU nerfed most of my best pets and I kept trying to adapt. Now EVERY EXCEPTIONALLY RARE creature I had or have, yes I destroyed some real keepers post CU,are essentially useless.... May as well purge my entire Datapad.....
How many months after CU are we and now I may as well have NEVER been a CH. May as well have NEVER made the effort to tame Great Plain Stalkers (yes Plural), Mantigrue Screechers, Bull Rancor, Death Heads Mereks, Prowling Gurrecks, Grassland Guardian Thunes, etc etc... why bother collecting rare or once extinct pets like a Frenzied Graul just to see them turned into a pathetic common skin with equal stats of a creature that is as common as an earswab and less useful.... all that is bad enough but now it is yet another slap in the long term players faces...
Basically SOE and the 'so very talented dev team' has said F*c* You to any serious CH who took pride in their profession. NOT ONE OF MY ONCE EXTREMELY rare Full Grown Much fought with pets have ONE special etc. or any training experience. The biggest gouge is the Great Plains Stalker imo how many times must they screw with that. THE HARDEST Pet to find no missions etc. etc.
I have RARE Pets in my datapad that have seen more fighting/ grinding action than many Post CU new players yet as of a few days ago it's like they NEVER even breathed air outside my datapad. They are just a full grown baby, a shell, with ZERO ABILITIES! ZERO SKILL PTS! ZERO POTENTIAL essentially!
Let me pose this question why would an CH earningMCH status in the last week deserve tobe EVEN or farther ahead in the game than one that has Mastered that Profession a year ago plus? WHY THE HELL is it necessary for me toretame and retrain EVERYTHING I HAVE post CU? Now to master some decent specials and turn high level pets over so they can learn them bla bla bla is like grinding Jedi!
I would love to slap this bunch of fops right in the face for essentially screwingthis profession AND ME,one too many times

Oh and I would like to continue pouting with one last tidbit here...
The other day I spent the entire day taming looking for specials.... Primarily I was taming level 65 plus creatures.... I tamed 29 Creatures and was awarded three specials. 29 high level tames for three specials....... WOW!
Now to put that into even worse persepective....... I tamed 14 lower level creatures L10-25 the day before for ONE special. Then I proceeded to train the pet to activate the special. IT TOOK FIVE ROLL OVERS?!
I trust fellow MCHs can understand my frustration 
I've been surprised since I started CH that the two rarest pets are only CL50.I figure they should be CL65-70-ish.

Yep the old school ch got shafted big time by the publish but its a small price to pay for new content for the profession. I look at it as not only new content but it is something that all ch throughout swg are having to learn and readjust too. I like the specials and I like that all pets can be customizedso that all specials a pet has are valuable.
SWG does need to desperately reinstitute elite creatures once again for those of us who enjoyed trophy hunting as those were always the most challenging to get. I specialized in finding the elite petsand now find many of those pets to be nerfed so bad that are unusable. But I will keep Simba my GPS and others as they may be nerfed but still good friends
