You guys have got me terrified! I was mch/mpistoleer since launch up til about a month ago because I wanted to try my hand at pvp. So I dropped CH and went fencer for defenses, knowing it would be useless with pistoleercome the CU and I could respec back to MCH. I kept all my pets in my DP and was about to log on to respec back when I started reading these horror posts. I have some of the best reported BE pets known to my server and I'm horrified now about this pet conversion issue. I see some reports that CH is useful again, and some stating the opposite, not being useful i'm used to... but losing my pets I justcouldnt handle. Now I don't know what i'm going to do 
I miss fighting alongside my pets terribly, but I think i'd rather they rot in my DP in all their pre-cu glory then to risk having the system eat em up.

Hi
This is a copy and paste from another thread but applies here as well.
----------------------------------------------------
Between my MCH on Bloodfin and my MBE/CH on Lowca I have had ALL my BE'd pets (about 20) turn into a POS. I am now the proud owner of 5k ham Cl54 critters that have worse ham then a wild Cl30 (6k ham).
That was adjusting Stats each time as they all had armour and would of ended up Cl200+ the other way.
The only pets that survived for me were a couple of old (pre BE change) Cl50 Gurrecks that didn't get changed.
Great system guys ....
Account cancelled, can't be bothered any more.
Anity.

I just wanted to mention some of my observations in BE pets with kept stats versus current CU or converted pets.
1) Health is higher on non-converted, but they take more damage. As I said before, the resist stats are in the 1000s now and that sub 100 stat you got on it means it's got really poor protection. I should post numbers, butthe60 kinetic, level 54BEpet took almost 2x the damageversus whata wild frenzied graul took versus the same creature. So it's close to the same here since it has nearly 2x the amount of health.
2) Damage output is higher on non-converted. The BE pet stats do have a higher damage output as can clearly be seen. Also the to hit factor didn't seem to come into play too much.
3) Regen rate is slower on non-converted BE pets. I had to wait a bit longer for my BE pet to regen health than the wild CU creatures. Even tho it's 2x the health, it still seemed to take more than 2x as long.
So, if anyone sees something different from me. Feel free to tell me my observations are off.
Also, putting my pets in a rage and not spamming my high damage attack seemed to allow the pet to keep aggro, until I start spamming when the creatures health gets below 50%.
Oh, and one last thing. If you convert them and keep the level, then you should probably consider just releasing them and getting yourself some new tames since the BE uniqueness is gone other than an interesting skin. And all my kept stat BEpets are without armor. I haven't heard of any without armor going over the top. My highest without armor went to 54.
