Thread: CREATURE HANDLERS ARE NOT TOO POWERFUL!
Balancing issues seems to play a big part in most mmorpgs, no matter what someone will cry nerf over something and the dev's in any game will usually respond harshly to a class making more people upset then they hope to have. Although I myself am not too happy with the state of the game I still say give the dev's time, just remember how long we probably would have waited for release if they didn't push it out a.s.a.p., for all we know if they would have taken longer to develop the game more we may not have been even playing this yet. Even though I wouldn't have minded for the wait I really have alot of fun with this game, even with all the issues currently in game.
I have a master commando and 2 maulers wouldn't stand a chance against me
if the handler goes down they are no better then a normal NPC mauler...easy kills.
CHs are not too powerfull it's the bad AI that all mobs have that make them seem overkill. Having 10 mobs attack the tank wile the rest of the group take pot shots at them is what makes high lvl missions too easy. Nerfing pets wont fix this, because no matter how weak they make the armor ppl will just heal them more.
The mauler is the only exception IMO at CL 34 it's a far far better pet then a rancor at almost 1/2 the lvl (34 to 50 right?) IF they bumped it's lvl up to 40 or 45 it would bring it inline with other pets with that armor. OFc they'd also have to fix the fact that it runs away from just about everything too. ( wonder how bad this is going to get flamed
)
AT-STs... sure limit them to 1 per player but then you need to make them imune to burn DOT. **edit** are you burning on it when you light it on fire anyway? IT has it's blast vulnerablity the burn DOT just makes them usless for PvP. I'd be happy to lose the use of 2 AT-STs if 1 commando couldnt' 1 shot kill them all anymore.

Now about ch being too powerful that is ridicilous if i wasn't a rifleman it would take me days to kill a creature. I think give ch a bit more petlevel to summon 100 sounds good, and weaken the other combat classes. All i see nowadays, is: Looking for solo group!! Come on you buy money every month to play with other people, buy a single player game if you want to handle everything on your own.
I'd really love to team up with 10 others and die trying killing janta's
