"and watch out for that droid soloing a krayt next time your in the graveyard on Tatooine "

Oh god that is too funny!

But seriously, let me just say as a Holo induced, post nerf CH - I love this profession! And that is saying a lot, I really disliked CH before I became one. In a strange way I am glad that pets are less fashionable for the non-CH and CH-dabbler now.

If there is any kind of loving we need it is via things like the proposed post about the coral/barnyard system, now there is something that is unique and very appropriate for us.

I would agree however that the difficulty in selling our pets (even at lvl 10) is something that I would love to see addressed.

All that said, with two boxes till master, this Holo grinder has stopped and will be keeping as much of my CH skills as long as I can.

there is NOT going to be any droid handler/commander,certainly notanytime soon, the soonest any actual strong combat droids will come out will be after the space expansion, if even then.

the Droid handler/commander idea was shot down a while ago, it aint happening. Only since all other ideas to get higher level combat droids in the game have been shot down, theres talk again of the DH/DC on the DE board since it was a possibility a while ago.

They should just make CHs an all around pet class, and give us powerful combat droids.

hmm talking to csr on chat and he seems to agree it will be a long time before droid handeler happens... but i some how think it will be longer before they restore any of ch's pvp ability or realy fix the damage they have done to us so far

i think the thing that most dishartens me with our profession atm is that a melee player oftern provides a beter tank than a high level pet with good armour does! which doesent make much sence to me as one of the main attractions of ch to me has allways been the ability to divert attacks away from my self (well apart from the cute factor of always having a freindly cat around who does tricks ) i mean put it in a real life senario a man armed with his fists -v- a pit bull = man runs very fast looking for some were to hide or gets riped appart were as a man with his dog gets attacked by a pit bull and the mans dog will fight till badly injured if not till the death allowing the man to make a safe getaway etc ie the mans dog tanks for him! ok so swg isnt the real world but in no way should a player stand up to say a attack from a high level creature better than a pet however much melee defences they have

ok not sure if that makes 100% sence its kinda earlie here but im sure you get what im trying to say

Bothans are rarer than jedi
that makes me sad =o

All we would need to fix PvP is a few good special pets. I personally think they should give all the giant pets an AOE knock down. What could make more sense to see one of those giant tortons thundering into town knocking everything down. I mean they shake the ground with every step doesn't it seem like an obvious ability. Same for Rancors those things should be able to knock people down like crazy. Cats should get a first attack one target knock down when they charge, that just what they do. Do you really think somebody could stand toe-to-toe with a full grown tiger and kung-fu it? D4mn, that thing would knock you down in a second.

I agree they hit us pretty hard but they probably had to in order to change public opinion. Lets face it if they had nerfed us just enough we would still have nerf callers everywhere that blamed us for our power in the past. Now everyone pretty much leaves us alone and feels sorry for us. Maybe this was the strategy so they could bring us in line with the other classes later and not have eveyone still hate us. Lets face it the nerf did wonders for our PR not many hate us anymore, most pity the few of us that remainat the same timeadmire our dedication.

We shoudl take down the names of all the current CH and post them on a golden plaque somewhere. "These are the members of the class that proved there dedication by remaining, when all the power of the pasthad been taken away." ack, forgot to queue the music.

Yeah I am sure SLs agree with this too. :squadleader voice on: Oh no the devs are lookin at us!? No Please! Dont make us more useless than the Rangers! Squadleader voice off:

The only reason CH seems very weak at the moment is that the CH nerf was supposed to be followed by a major combat system change. They have since put that on the back burner because of more..er...vocal concerns in other parts of the swg community. Go back and read the posts about the "dev plan" about the mob rebalance. But i just gave up MCH because it has become useless at the current junction. When i heard the announcement that the full combat revamp wasnt coming for at least 4 more publishes I decided I could take up MCH again later.

Now now, I know SL is REALLY bad off. I'm just saying there is so much that is borked atm in this game that it would be a much better idea to fix everyone a bit instead of another revamp for a prof thats not entirely useful until they fix the GCW. IMHO they need to give SL the ability to recruit NPC's to make it worthwhile anyway. They won't tho since SOE obviously hates the idea of pets for some reason. SL at its best will be a rare secondary prof only for guilds. Kinda like Mayor. Why put all the effort into SL now when most profs are stilled broken.
