Thread: Pet storage
As you all know our profession was totally Nerfed...er revamped back in november of 03. According to plutos' calculations we are not due to get any major attention untill 2030.
The Creature Training Line increased stored pet amounts.
Novice CH - 6
0/1/0/0 - 8
0/2/0/0 - 11
0/3/0/0 - 14
0/4/0/0 - 18
Master CH - 22

No pets will poof, it is a good idea to get a CL 10 or 12 critter, and there's no extra storage :/. The only thing to consider is that Doctor will always obtain agro whenever they heal someone, so if you have agro problems now, that will only make it worse.....
Thanks, that helps.
I'm not concerned with the baddies agroing me, since I'm TKM (and don't mind being a chew toy). In fact, that's a bonus of being a MD, since I would primarily only worry about healing myself.
Why a CL12? You'll have to forgive me, but it's been a long time since I had to level in CH. ![]()

Ah that innate TKA armor stuff can be pretty useful :/.
Remember that a novice CH gets +2 in pet levels, (Not +12, thats the system being weird) so once you get the novice box which is obtained with scout XP you can control a CL 12 pet.
Weran some tests tonight on the TKA vs BH defenses. Me = TKM/MCH with /power and /center. MBH/MRifle fully armored in about 5500 kinetic wielding a rifle. We agroed some spiders on Kash. I was taking slightly less damage, and they missed me a bit more often. The pet (arachne warrior) took about twice as much damage as we did, and did about 1/2 my damage and 1/3 the MBH/MR's damage. Let's not even talk about my "converted" BE pets.... ![]()
Tonight's tests, combined with my experience with the Katarn a couple nights ago, made me realize that in a group of 2 or 3 (especially if hate remains mostly the same) a tankthat can throw big heals often is more useful. Thus, my consideration of dropping MCH. I will miss my pets, the ability to harvest, and TN. I guess that's the tradeoff though.
I will probably get a CL10 mount to ride as a non-CH and to level me if I decide to become MCH again later. I must admit, I haven't really looked at our tree since way back when non-CHs were able to call CL15s and were begging us for Cowardly Gurrecks and armored bugs. It was after the Frenzied Graul babies stopped spawning, but my Bile Drenched Quenkers were still wicked deadly. Ah, I'll miss this profession....
