a dabbler is someone that doesnt master a skill and only takes parts of a skill to use.

that being said... dabbling in a skill should not grant the majority of the benefits of the skill. going 4400CH should not grant the ability to control and tame all the monsters a CH can have short of a rancor and gurreck. the changes bring CH dabblers into line with most of the other dabblers in other professions, in that they get some of the minor benefits of CH but not the full benefit of those that master.

now if only the would fix pistoleers so they cant gain all the benefit of both smuggler and BH.

Curious to know why dabblers in the CH tree are disliked. Cirin I hope that 'WE' in your condemnation of dabblers was a royal 'WE' cos I certainly dont feel that way.

This game's combat system is flawed, you need a tank to hunt - pets are the best tanks (well, aggro holders). No PC will ever have 8000ham - so the weopan specialist needs a tank.

If he has spent most of his points on mastering rifle, pistol or whatever he cant then master CH.

Why is this a problem?

CH, Pistoleer, Medic

Because it's the dabblers that are getting us and our creatures nerfed.

Well, I do think switching Ranger and CH wouldn't be such a bad idea instead of nerfing everything. Make it required to Master Scout for CH and 2 trees for Ranger instead.

I was wondering how you would get to handle level 36 pets with 4,4,0,0? The way I was counting it would only be CL 30 at max. Is there an update as to the starting level for Novice CHs? I read it was CL 10. But I saw in another post someone said start 12. So I am a bit confused now.

Oh and just for GPs with the other posts. I am not dabbling in CH. I am soloer and very slow, but trudging onward and upward. I was really hoping to Master CH. However------Now, I'm so depressed I don't know if I even want to continue. If starting Novice IS level 10, I will not be able to call even One of my pets. My Cu pa is CL 11. So, I will be so screwed. And all I have is Gualama, Dewback (Mount), Cu pa and GSP. Not a very intimidating CH here, but will be a Bot-CH after patch now

Cherbaca, Bria, M.Scout, N.CH 1,1,0,0 (30+k pts pending till patch)

Novice is 12. Non-CH is 10.

Forgot to add.. you being a 1-1-0-0, you would be at like 16 I think.

hes gonna be at 14

Yes I do DABBLE in other things.

I am not a master scout.

I am not a master medic.

I am not a master brawler.

I am not a master fencer.

But I do dabble in all of those things. I didn't call you a noob, I didn't call you an idiot, I called you a dabbler, which you are. It's not an insult, but you sure as hell aren't a master. A title doesn't mean you're not a dabbler.
