well mch with master rifles and line of carbineer that gets you the carbineer snare is an extremmely effective pve template plus does very good in pvp and can take out a master bh/cm template pretty dam quick specially ussing 3 female nargs that are well trained with the right combo of specials

I decided too go with my fave temp. Master CH/Swordsman. I have a damage capped PH and maxxed on AA's with my ADK'd RIS suit. I dont like PVP and I love finding that rare pet so I'm happy. Rifleman is also a VERY nice template with CH.

well i agree the best profession to mix with CH is bounty hunter, but got possible templates for you depending if you want to hunt jedi or not :-) if you want to be able to hunt jedi..i'd go master Ch, master BH, combat medic4/0/0/0, and FS sensitive skill hightend senses 3/0/0/0. If hunting jedi is not what your looking for then go master CH, scout 4/0/4/0, BH 0/4/4/4, marksman 0/0/1/4, Combat medic 4/4/0/0, hightend senses 1/0/0/1 ( The luck branchhas not been fully tested to prove this but luck branch is rumored to improve chances of getting pet inate skills also to learn them) Ideal race to mix into this is an ithorian for the +10 melee def , state def, and +10 to tame. Wookie is still good, but Ithorains are better. in the latter combo i'd use battle armor, in the other one i'd use assult armor( rebel armors, because imp armor is just tacky lol ) Both these templates would make you Clvl 80

However my template currently as Soulsyphon (The Great) tm is : master Ch, master tka, pikes 0/4/0/0, combat prowress 0/0/0/4, brawler 4/0/4/4. as a fearsome trandoshan of the warrior cast i feel it is best to use my full skills with unarmed combat arena lol . I feel it is pure to be both master CH master and tka master lol fighting side by side with my beast both relying on there own hides for protection, and claws for damage . why use a silly gun when i canshread something with my own clawed hands. :-) fighting as the beasts i control do. The improved spin attack is useful though if going to control pets with natural AOE attacks like blood frenzied boar wolves. Becomes a hell storm of furywith both pet and trainerhitting everything in range at once with a frenzied rain ofdeath and destruction , whirling dervish style...lol but this is just my spin on it :-)

Also, whats nice is using an ADV Laser rifle. Get 1-2 shots off then I pound away with my PH.

My alt is a wook MRifles/MCH/MScout and enjoy it. Do a lot of solo questing and resolurce gathering. He is a nice break from the Jedi grind, and can solo most normal MOBS.

i think what really matters here is really of personal preference. do what makes you happy. I personally have MR, BH x444, and CH x2x2. i like CH because in real life i am a pet guy, its like a neverending companionship. so naturally it carries over into game. i take pride in just watchin my pet tear apart an enemy with the abilities i taught it. What I'm saying is: BE WHO YOU ARE.Don't go forsome template you'llhate, even thoughthat it's said to be great. if you like it, do it. hell you can be a Mdancer/MCH if you want to, its your choice. be yourself. expirement until you find your niche. I tried almost every elite profession. before i found that i loved CH because, deep down, it reflected me. Be yourself, in and out of game. thats my view, protest if you like. won't change it.

Maybe squad leader will be good with CH with the new revamp. If the groupbuffs work on pets aswell that is, you could make uber tanks

That may be the killer combo depending if they SL work on pets and how much they do for them.

Best depends on what you plan on using your template for.

I have been a Master CH/Master Pistoleer/BH4040 for a long time.

I may lack healing and long range assaults, but I hold my own.

My main armor (no grinding/baby hunting armor) is enhanced-Marauder with attachments to boost my range and speed for pistol. I wear enhanced clothes with range/melee defence, taming bonus, and other goodies.
With great food, spice, and good stims, you will survive many fights. Use your Duelist Stance and things get even better, can't go wrong with +250 defence points and return fire.
Being a Master Pistoleer allows for a wide range of hand held weapons. My main Trando-pistol slice for all damage is a very nice addition when pumping out pain. Use PU's that reduce SAC cost and your action bar will last a long time for many assaults.
My temp also allows me to Dizzy, Stun, Stopping Shot, and Knockdown...my pets do all the rest.
Plus with basic Scout skills, you can harvest resources while you kill.

There is no UBER template. Your template is only as fun as you make it. Some are better then others, but none of them have the "I win button".

CH is rewarding and a challange. Alot of fun for soloing, good for PvE, and effective but tricky for PvP.

Nothing cooler then wondering the land thousnads of meters from anyone with your 3 companions and droid by your side.



The pet xp grind may suck, but being a MCH is a reward all should admire.
