Creature Handler Archive

Heh heh. It takes 2-3 months, minimum, for someone to get MBH, and those people are hardcore powergamers who may have been in Beta to boot. But I digress . . .

Back to the balancing (OK, yes, balancing ) issues. . . the only people you'll see complain about moving EyeShot to MBH are Pistoleers. Check out the BH forum. (and notice I'm not an MBH )

As far as I can tell the only real complaint 'masterpoo'(like that doesn't say it all right there) has is that he don't win at PvP and blames the Devs for his lack of skills. Tell you what I can kill MBH and Mcommandoes all day long often in groups of 3 or 4 and never even get close to going down. If you are upset that the guy you sick your graul on decides to kill you first then you are a crybaby. If you are upset that a flamethrower wounds the hell out of you Graul see last sentence.

CH were not nerfed at all, everyone who was using nonCH and CH dabbling got balanced out, it made CH better at their own game not worse. I see it as a reward for Mastering CH. Also after you master CH you still can pick up any number of other skills to keep your silly butt safe when someone is smart enough to kill you before your Graul.

I am a master Smuggler/ master pistoleer with some medic skills and exploration 4(game is unplayable without that imho,lol). I haven't lost a duel or a fight to less than 3 people in 2 months. I use my brain to deal with the simple problems that have you stumped Masterpoo(that is just killin me,lol). First all BH are pretty much eyeshot spammers so buy a friggin Comp helm with as a high an acid resist you can get, mine is sliced to 97%(max is 90% since patch), this makes eyeshot worthless unless they switch to another gun but if your helmet is a great one it doesn't matter what gun they use with one exception which I will explain later. Some BHs actually use their LLC which can be harsh, but if you are buffed and have attacks you can defend with you will get them everytime.

Commandoes pretty much suck in my opinion. They are all also the same running around in comp armor with there silly slow weapons.I use a tangle pistol, yes a tangle pistol, that crappy little gun with the great shot noise. Wait till you waste a commando in a full suit of krayt composite before he ever even gets a shot off. They usually scream exploit or just swear continuously on their way to the cloner. Tangle also rocks against Kimos btw.

My point is you are complaining because you are not the best and cannot win at PvP by mastering a single class with no combat skills. Guess what, a MBH or a MC can't win with only those skills either and they spent a whole lot more points than you did. Do yourself a favor and quit riding the uberPvP bandwagon because what ever it is is lame by the time you get there. Just watch the next uberl33t skills ownage crap will be me, the Master Pistoleer/Smuggler(and i say master because i guaruntee they will rearrange the smuggler skills to knock out the dabblers, just like they just did with CH).

I had to use 2 professions to be as string as I am, smuggler gives me awesome attacks that are worthless without all of the speed and accuracy I get from pistoleer. Actaully the future will include some TKA but you can figure out why on your own,

I agree with Laeren. I can't pvp well at all. But I sure can pve without worrying too much, and have a hell of a lot of fun doing it!

But I think thats a bonus of the CH profession. I never wanted to pvp, and still don't, so ch suits me fine. If I wanted to pvp I'd be a BH. BH's are (to me) meant to be the masters of pvp, what use is a bounty hunter that cant kill someone?

Also commandos should do massive amounts of damage! They should own all other pro's PVE IMO, for pure damage.

To me CH's are into exploring, and surviving situations to the best of their abilities, a far more tactical profession, rather than brute strength. Why else have a pre requisite skill called SURVIVAL, and another EXPLORATION?

IMO too many people complain and whinge about this game, and the people that whinge and complain are the ones that are going to (If they already haven't for many people) ruin this game. It's sad, I think. Such a great game given to a bunch of ungrateful people, that should play counter strike, not an rpg.

I'm sorry I rambled at the end here, and I'm going to leave now, so I dont cause a fuss

well orphan, other than the fact survival isn't a prereq for creature handler you make some good points. complaining about how one class is better than another class for this or that is kind of silly. I should HOPE bountyhunters are better than a CH at PvP, since that's really all they're good at (without multiclassing into CH).

if you want to complain about the game, complain about something that matters, like how the TEF system makes all PvP battles utterly pointless (except for PvP battlefields, which is the only fun I ever have in PvP anymore)

I got comando, and flame cone is useless in multiple component attacking. the DOT damage works against me on all my secondary opponents. If I flame cone, and a secondary gets a DOT, afterwards when I switch targets to them, I have to compete with my own DOT damage to have permission to loot it.

Also, I do not see how a commando stole your loot. Most times I fight with a group I never get loot, I do the most damage, but I never have permission to loot, my DOT damage does not count towards who has loot rights.

Charvakas: Sorry, I didn't mean it to sound like it was most of the CHs whining, I know it is usually the Pistoleers. It just annoys me that some people have no clue what they are talking about so they cry "NERF!!!"

But see, what I was trying to say is, with the extremely low Defense mods that BHs get (we ONLY get a +7 ranged Defense at MBH, that's all), and with some of us being wookies (me) and not being able to wear armor, we can't even take out one of our marks, whose HAM is often around or over 10k-15k. Not to mention they hit for at around 500-1k every time. BHs like me need something to help. I can't wear armor, I have no Defense stats, so I honestly need a creature to help. I'm not saying I need a Graul Mauler or anything, but something that helps. Now, I can, and have taken out my marks solo, without a creature. And believe me, with the amount of buffers, spices and stims it took, it almost wasn't worth it.
