Thread: ok so im respecing back to MCH. This will be 3rd time MCH since 3rd week of game..please help
I'm still only a midlevel CH, but one shocker I've heard is that bull rancors are no longer the top-dawg pet. Frenzied grauls have apparently been confirmed as tamable, along with a flotilla of new tamables (including -- yes!-- Giant Peko Pekos!), but apparently FG's are also reduced somewhat.
Midlevel creatures have been thoroughly muddled in level. Boar wolves are now one of the most powerful pets in the game, at level 68 or so. I can confirm this one personally: I have a BW still in my Datapad, and one of the first things I did when I went to TestCenter was head for Endor in search of a boar wolf, thinking it'd make a decent midlevel pet to experiment with. WRONG! One boar wolf incapped my Level-80 BlueFrog(TM) Master BH/Master CH in four hits!
Piket Longhorns have been dropped from CL-37 to CL-33; Ravenous Roba Stalkers have jumped a bit, from CL-40 to CL-45 (WAAAAH!!!) and so forth. Natural pets generally go through the conversion process reasonably well, although you'll want to be prepared for some shocks in where their HAM ends up. And as Vertexon finally was able to get the devs to confirm recently, the display of creature resistances is currently broken, along with pet special attacks. The attacks are neither usable nor trainable at the moment. But at least we now know they are offically acknowledged as "broken," as opposed to "working as intended." So that's an improvment, of sorts. And we do have a promise from the devs that they will be "fixed as soon as possible." For whatever that's worth....
