Creature Handler Archive

In the original CH pets were a weapon. In it's current state, pets are NOT a weapon, they are a shield.

You'll need to take a combat profession if you want to be more than a support class.

i guess that troll doesn't realize not everyone chose a weapon spec.

i am mch working on masterdoc and have no weapon skill and totally rely on my pets for pve and support in a group setting for pvp. though i do miss haveing a weapon profession.

Pets are overpowered shields, which allow players to take on creatures far more powerful than anyone else can survive. That's why they've been nerfed. Heck, they're still too powerful sometimes, IMO. I find it funny that anybody who disagrees with the original poster has been rated one star. This is a discussion forum!

Pets are not weapons. They are companions, which usually play the role of "shield" in combat. They are the best shield in the game, too.Hey, just because you can kill MOST of the stuff in the game by yourself, instead of everything (likea Krayt Dragon), doesn't mean your class is unplayable.

Now there you show how little you actually know about this game. My TKM can kill a bull rancor a lot faster than my Master pistoleer / MCH can.

Maybe they were 3 months ago but not any more.

My TKM / MD is a better tank than a pet is.

• He doesn't run all over the countryside.


• He doesn't auto store at every zone boundary.


• He does a LOT more damage.


• He has better resists.


• He doesn't stop obeying commands suddenly.


• He doesn't need a camp to be called.


• He heals himself

Zabrak,

Don't let Denezib get under your skin. Read the bio, this person is a troll, arrogant, blind, ignorant and obnoxious, generally we try and ignore it. This persons perspective is borked because they are TKM, and really doesn't have a clue. So when this person posts just kind of skip over it to the next post. Sort of /ignore.

We all do it now anyway, except when they decide to rag on someone who is new. LOL read the signature, that should pretty much tell that you what kind of person you are dealing with.

50% of all CH's are just spoiled from being spoonfed for all these months.

You can have a lvl70 pet follow you around. Have you ever sat down for a few minutes to let it sink into your thick skull?

How about 2 lvl35 Lightarmored cats that run faster then burstrun, can attack from range and you can have them attack with a disease, intimidate, dizzy, knockdown and god knows how many different combo's.

Why is it so hard to grasp that you should be happy and just shut up already. MCH doesn't take 250 points.

I'm a Master Fencer and CH. Last time I looked I even had points left over for Medic and a Novice Melee prof next to it.

You're just spoiled, that's it.

No offense DeneziB, but this has to be one of the worst posts I've seen.

Your pet is not your weapon. The rifle/pistol/carbine that you fire off as you hide behind your pet is your weapon.

......... CH's get pets to tank, if you think that is cowardice, then you will not be popular mentioning it here...

I've yet to see a pistoleer fire two pistols at the same time, nor a commando fire two flamers at the same time.

............. You are off on a tangent... real back in.......................

If you really want to see your pet as your weapon and equality, then everytime you fire off your pistol, your pet should also auto-store, because everyone else can only use one weapon at a time.

........... LOL, what are you on?........................

I'd really like to see how well your uber jax will tank if you had to store it everytime you spammed eyeshot.

............ You seem lost, could be the drugs...........

I want equal rights damit! to make this game fair, then make every other profession wait 30 seconds to pull out their weapons when in the wild. how is that any different then what you are doing to us? our pets are our weapons and the basis of our profession so how would be putting a 30 second delay on a commando from using his flamethrower be any different? how can not having a delay be used as an exploit? a commando can pull out a flamethrower with no delay and set me and my pets on fire. isnt that an exploit? it should be to the devs logic. because being able to call a pet with no delay while not in combat in the first place would be SO HORRIBLE, OMG WHAT AN EXPLOIT! Those dam chs being able to call pets out in the wild with no one around to exploit against and even if they could they would get beat down any way. how dare they. i hope you see how ridicules your logic is.
