Thread: Why do so many CH's scoff at BE pets?
Message Edited by GreenStok on 02-15-2004 12:27 PM
I am on Ahzi. I have yet to see a pet that I'd like to use that was priced under 450000. I go to the shops people rant about in Coronet, and the stuff is embarassing to say the least. I'm sure there is a reasonable BE shop somewhere... I just haven't found it.
This is in NO way disrespecting the BE community. I think it's a nifty class. I just haven't found a reasonable shop on my server.
amen... i couldn't of put it better. until i get bored taming new things, i refuse to buy from a BE

Also, and I don't expect anyone but a CH to understand this, half of the fun is going out and taming the pet yourself in the wild. It's just not the same clicking on a deed and having the pet materialize in front of you. Finding your pet, creeping up on it, stealing it from out from under the noses of its parents, and then training it and watching it grow are a major part of what makes CH fun.
oops... hit reply to soon. this is also one of the reasons i don't. these uber pets are bullsh(i)t, and i refuse to ever use one. the only creature i have that has close to 60 kinetic is my gapoing spider queen, and she is level 47. the fact that your pet is that strong at level 18 sickens me. it takes the enjoyment out of the game in my opinion. that is why i scoff BE's.

Embrace the BE pets. Personally I'm a BE and a CH and for PvE I use a CL18 narglatch (10khealth, 60kinetic, 370dmg, strong poison, blinding attack) and a CL22 Choku (11khealth, 60kinetic, 390 damage, dizzy, knockdown).

You are a CH, a master of Nature.. you go to
a frigging lab to buy some combat Mutant?
heya all, just thought i chip in. I have 2 chars, one of which is a MCH and the other a MBE. As a CH i enjoy going out and finding a baby i want to tame more than i do hunting for credits. And i think that if your still a CH after all thats been done to us as a class then your prolly in it for the same reason as me. It is about pride in critters we have and the stories that go with them. I chased a widow baby all around endor as she visited her various cousins that spawned around her, all of which were happy to break mask scent for me. LOL it only took me two attempts to her, but took 45 mins for me to get those 2 attempts off. So now i have a nice little widow baby that grew into a happy adult. I havemore than a few pets in my datapad that are there because i like them, not because of how effective they are. Also in my datapad i have my champions, my true warriors. Creatures created by my alternate for one purpose alone, hunting and killing and being as effective at it as possible. As a BE i'm not trying to the fun out the CH profession, i'm not saying anyone should stop taming wild pets and just come to me, i'm saying when you want a pet bred for one purpose,one task, go see a BE and he will give you that. It's so odd that two professions that have so much to benefit each other have such a dislike for one another. I truly wish there were more effective, or better, or however you would like to phrase it, pets that could be tamed in the wild, but there aren't. Because of this i have no problem getting my hunting team from a BE none at all. It's not the BE's fault that we dont have better things to tame in the wild, but it is the BE's who provide us with those better pets.
On a side note, the cl 18 and 22 pets that were mentioned above are quite fantastic clones, they honestly are. I will tell you all honestly that wouldIsooner make cl 60 and above day after day then try one attempt at those pets. To get those stats on that lvl is a tedious task that to this point has always backfired on me and left me clones that became decorations in my house.
And for anyone on Corbantis who is looking for a nice BE pet, my alternates name is Bolvrei and i will be happy to help any or all you get a pet you want. High or low level, whatever you like. As for sampling mutant rancors, i dont mind it much, if they don't cooperate i hit a few with my pike, that straightens em all out.

I've been a MCH for a long time. I agree with most of the CH's comments here, so I won't add mine. I do want to mention that I know of a great place to get BE's for 31.5k apiece, no matter what stats they are. These pets vary. Some are for ranged, some are armored, some are PVP worthy. If you're interested in a waypoint send me an e-mail in-game and I'll get it to you.
As a recent newcomer to PVP I've needed to find specialized pets for that purpose. Thankfully I had the foresight to get the pets I needed before the major BE changes took place, so I have some great pets. I still enjoy the wild pets, but if you want pets designed for specific situations it's best to go with BE. OR search the wild for pets that fit the description. Bloodseeker Mites (100% heat/cold/electric, 30% kinetic) and Boar Wolf Ravagers (50% kinetic) are two examples of wild pets thatwould serve different purposes inPVP.

As a near master CH and near master BE let me tell you this, I have yet to make a pet for a high level CH and that includes myself. With the tissues market the way it is why should I bother? I have plenty of tailors and chefs who love my stuff and I never get any grief over it. That doesn't mean I don't make clones. I have a really nice set of great plains stalker dna I'm waiting to use when I'm a master CH. I snapped some pictures of the gps in action. They are some real cool cats, but back to the discussion. I was making non ch mounts, but since the last patch my 1st gen recipe once again no longer works. This happens with every patch so I've stopped that as well for a while until I get inspired again. Good Hunting.
