well, as master rifleman speed capped, you dont really need the pets either. I can wipe out enraged rancors without pets with agood damage slice.
it just depends, if you wanna be up close and personal or not in teh fight. I just enjoy mowing down enemies lol.

Actually that was because you were probably causing more damage and creatures tend to go after the one causing the most pain. MRM

Hi,
I am going MCH with my alt account.. Now I've played MCH loooooong time ago. And have played MTK anumber of times. I can picture how that combo would workout. But I was thinking that maybe I'd try for MRM instead of MTK as the Combat Prof with MCH... I was thinking I could stand back and pick off the parents without enraging the babies. then walk in and tame the babies.. Is this realistic? What issues would I have to deal with, with a MRM/MCH combo?
Any Advice and insight would be of great help..
Thank you...
I was a MRM for a little while but switched to TKM because I simply do so much more damage faster, plus I don't have to worry when I get poisoned or diseased fighting. MRM was just too slow and it seemed that aggros would come after me anyway because my pet was attacking them.
slow? I must admit, I've never heard it called that before.

Although my Chimaera CH is a swordsman with TK4000 (for the healing), I intend a more rare oriented template for my Radiant CH.
WetherI have the desire to build him up with various things going on is another matter, but i am devoting time atm to get him to Master CH (not even novice yet), TK Master, Ranger 0030. Seems ok - but the only thing I'm thinking about is the lack of even nov medic to heal self when needed. Spice/Food I may have to carry aplenty...
i'd go with rifles then, you can use petstems for your pets... with the rare hunter template, concealshot is great... but if you want medic, drop some of the TK for it... unlike rifles you can effectively be a dabbler in TK...

When I can do an Unarmed Hit 3 every second vs. getting a shot off every 2-3 seconds with a good T21, I consider that slow. That plus it took me an average of 12 min. per Bull Rancor lair with a rifle & pet vs. 4 min. as TKM and no pet. And when I got aggro'd, I had to keep trying to get my distance back because rifles stink at point blank. I also love fighting side-by-side by pets, I didn't like standing at a distance while my pets took the damage. We train together, we work together, we fight together, and we bleed together.

with adv stafe you will do 3k plus damage on multi mobs... unarmed hit 3 would be 3k on one mob... with MCH, send pet at lair... then fire away... average time for enraged rancor liar with MCH/MRifle 45 secs (nonspeed capped)... the pet will hold the agro 90% of the time... for the other 10% have another pet on guard, he'll pick up anything that might agro you before it gets close...
i've also done both TKM/MCH, MRifle/MCH... and the latter with just petstems and somefood/spice i could stay on endor for days without leaving... i never wore armor, and had no medic... and this was before mounts, when creatures were harder to kill... as TKM without buffs or armor you can kill most things, but there is more of a downtime inbetween...
both profs work with MCH, its more up to how you want to play...

Wait till the Plauge Strike gets ya! That was also a big decision why I switched to TKM. The ability to heal everything except BF made it a no brainer for me. But you are correct, everyone needs to play how they want to. This is for fun after all!
