Single pets.


Whether a Bull Rancor or a BE Gurreck


Run all over the countryside, in order toevade the things they are set to attack.




You dont notice it as much if you use a pair of pets, but this is no excuse for the problem.


Many CH wont be able to call 2 pets anyway till there way up the CH tree.



It was only slightly anoying before the last patch.


Since then the pets are useless in any sort of PVE.



And thats with spamming:


Attack Attack
Attack Attack
Attack Attack
Attack Attack
Attack Attack



Makes leveling in CH next to useless, especially if you are a melee combat prof.

New to the profession so this may not be a bug but some hidden rule.


I have 2 cupas trained by a MCH and was trying to have them sit back and use their ranged attack while I meleed.


Is there some hidden rule that you cant use a command that is above your level even if the pet knows it ? If so why does everything else work (ie. transfer, etc.) The ranged attack is a command and not a CH ability like embolden pet and enrage pet .


Also, I'm having a hard time getting /tellpet to work unlessI use it when I train them. Is this working as intended ?

This appears to be another bug that SOE added to the game for us. Pets don't seem to be using any ranged attacks right now.

/tellpet is yet another of the buggy features they gave to CH. It works fine for some people, not at all for others, and is intermittent for the rest.

Since the Feb. 24th patch, all my pets are totally screwed. The moment I call them from my datapad they lay down. I mounted my Brackaset while he was prone & when he stood up, I was mounted on the ground.


The only pets that respond to commands are my 4 Razor Cats. My other pets (Kimo, Carion, Dewback, woolamander, rancor, Graul) just stand where I called them & not respond or move to my commands. No "?" above their heads, so I know they are understanding the commands.


Knockdown has never worked on any of my pets, even though it is listed. None of my pets will do the special attacks when given the command for them. Some specials (not knockdown) are executed during combat, but only randomly, never executed on command. Ranged attacksWERE working on all my pets, after the recent patch they won't move, much less use a ranged attack.


The Razor Cats, that do respond to commands disappear in combat with much more frequency than before the patch. As a MCH & MBE my pets are my weapons, so it's like having myweapon disappear from my hands during combat. I doubt anyone would keep subscribing if that "bug" started to migrate to other professions.


Finaly, it would be nice for the combat window to say when a pet uses a special, when this gets fixed.


I guess I'll just keep crafting until this is fixed, no use going into battle without my weapons.

Hi guys...pl bare with me, this is my first CH post because in usually post in the Suggler forum. Here ismy problem.I bought a Gurreck , i have it in my inventory but it tells me i cannot tame it, that i lack the skills need to tame i am 4/2/1/3 CHskill boxes. I have maser the taming tree. and yet cannot tame this pet. When i examine it, there no level on this pet. what should i do now to find out how to use this gurreck...any informatiom on this would be very helpful thank you.






Is this a wild tamed gurreck (just gurreck...not one of the varients)? If so, it's a CL 50 critter, and 4/2/1/3 won't have enough call ability to bring it off the datapad. If it's a BE critter, it's bugged, I'm afraid, since you can't see the CL in the datapad, and it may very well be above CL 50 and you won't be able to call it until you're a master.

I let the Devs know about the "mounts won't follow you" and "pets won't use ranged attack" issues. Haven't heard anything back yet, but just wanted to let you know the issues were escalated.

Pet will not respond to Follow, the HAM display is not updating properly when the pet is healed until, a: trick is commanded, or b: combat, which means if the pet is incapped, healing does not get it on it's feet again because the HAM didn't update. Pet is spontaneously storing, sometimes during combat. Because it won't follow, it cannot be retreated in combat. If pet is incapped in combat, no xp for creature handler are gained, even if pet did most of the damage.


The pet reponds to follow about once in twenty times.


The patch correcting follow distance seems to have broken my pets very badly. The fix seriously needs to be fixed, and fast. It is so inconveinient as to render the pets almost useless.

I'm experiencing all these things, less the XP part, because I'm not earning XP (totally maxed out).


I have no reason to doubt that aspect of Kagura's report whatsoever, though.

I have 31 points in pet level skills. I have a pet thats a difficulty level 31, and when I try to take him out it says I dont have enough CH skills to take him out. It lets me take out up to level 30 but not level 31?? When I have 31 pet level points, does that include level 31 or no? I have CH 0-3-0-4 and Im pretty sure it said 31 is included.
