Well that basically tells us that you have never taken the time to work with a pet or understand what we have been through. I have been MCH since September and I can honestly say that dabblers like redstar are the reason we got nerfed. But at the same time it was a MASTER JEDI fighting a rancor and he still barely escaped with his life. Not some twinkie eating swordsman or a TKA.
Have you ever stopped to think about this: Star Wars is set many years in the future not in any of the movies do you see someone weilding a sword who is on an advanced planet. So SWG is not a true representation of that. Real life ok, you have a sword, I show up with a polar bear and a M-16, who wins? Prolly not the swordsman, in fact i send my polar bear in and I don't care if you can do triple hand stands, the polar bear wins hands down, one swipe bye bye. I mean I worked for Fish & Wildlife and a grizzly bear killed a person inside a car by going through the back window, through the door post, crushing the skull, and out the passenger side window, ONE SWIPE FOLKS. Now you are telling me a swordsman is going to do my Razor Cat and then me! BS.
So what we have here is a knee jerk reaction by the devs and we are suffering. We will continue to suffer and they don't give a flying fig, so suck it up guys and let's work out ways to be viable cause waiting for the Devs to do something means nerf city one more time.

Nice sky.. thats what most of us(the people I talk to)think. I've talked to a few enemy MBH and they agree(the ones I have talked to).
I noticed on a few threads that when people say what I said they get flammed thats why I said "the people I talked to".
I fought many Greater Sludge Panthers in the past while trying to tame them (long ago)and I was killed a few times doing it.
The other week I went on abase raid and encountered2 GSP's. It was amazing how fast I killed both of them. My combat skills are diminished. I was a medic/carbineer/CH when I was taming. During the fight against the2 GSP I was Half carb not medic at all,still CH and almost(half) Squad Leader (holo grind).How was it that Iwas able to kill 2 GSP pets with easeandhardly any good combat skills but in the wild I had master combat skills and I got my but kicked by one???
People say pets are over powered.. Maybe they are when doing missions, but they are deffenetly not powerful in PvP.
I roleplay and enjoy PvP. I like to go to other cities and do raids on thier bases. Yes my pets are good killing NPC. But going against players defending.............MCH means death....
Yes I can go with MCH and combat skills....... But what if I want to be a MCH...BE...where does that leave me for combat skills...

Man the two profession i've been in this game is TKA and CH and all the devs do is throw us about, lets tinker here lets tinker there. It aint fair this games been out long enough for it to be balanced, and if they can't do it now they never will. Im sick to death of being screwed about with changes to my professions. Pets are tanks theres no two ways about it so whyon eartharen't they?
I get the impression devs do this on purpose so people ditch professions for flavour of the month and keeps them active in the game longer which is more money for them.
This game is a constant beta and that aint good.

Sorry to rage on but on another note.
When was it that Wookiees was the weakest race in the Galaxies.
Were supposed to be so strong we don't need armour. Yet how come we get our butt kicked every time, and other races get uber armour so we can't compete?

I hate to say this but, because pets are very poweful for PVE. Blancing them for PVP would be very hard. The only good reason to use pets is for their spcials like the mantigrue screecher's plague strike. I say make pets hit harder, fster and more accurately in pvp.

Just my 2 cents, I watched a TKM dizzy/KD a friends fambaa to death in 10 sec. Don't think he took any damage! Something is wrong when a 200 pound man can knock over a 20 ton beast!
