- Changed chance-to-tame formula for creature handlers to ensure that you have a chance to tame and can call any pet that you should be able to tame according to your "tame level" skill. You still need at least some Tame Vicious Creatures skill in order to tame or call aggressive creatures. In general, if your tame level is 70, then you should have a chance of taming and be able to call any creature up to level 70, without additional skill bonuses from species or skilltapes. Tame bonus, tame wild animals and tame vicious creatures bonuses will still be useful in taming creatures in fewer attempts, but will no longer make the difference between being able to make the attempt

Doh I didn't see the part about balancing force powers, suddenly it makes sense :/. Anyway, the remembering autoattack thing is nice, and im now glad i dont have the SP for specials, otherwise i'd be sad for my flame attacks to be nerfed

I don't mean to be Mr.Negativity here but is this a back handed way of saying that Tame Bonus skill will now become a skill mod that has little effect, furthermore you won't be able to tell the differance in the amount of attmepts to tame a creature from Master to Novice.
Only time will tell but I do hope the tame bonus still plays a big part. Otherwise it becomes another wasted skill mod. One of those numbers in a list that you can hardly tell if it's helping you or not.

Rayne notice they said chance of tame lol. Mods will still be needed to decrease your chance of death lol.
I think this is basically repairing creatures like the borewolf who became uncallable after the cu without bio-clothes.

I'm not complaining. I'm asking. Look at the games history of skill mods/skill mod use. Skill mods and things like SEA's are always tricky because you just have to trust that it works. How do you know if your +25 Tame tape is working? This is not something that is a CH only issue, rather, when you have a skill mod that's +2, or +25, it's difficult at times to tell if that's really helping you.
I'm currently very touchy about any changes being made to CH that don't have something to do with armor and specials. I am greatfull for any patch CH gets but I still have to honestly say I feel our big issues are being avoided atm. Mostly because we have no feel for what the Devs feel our "top 10" issues are, and more over, we have no idea how high or low on the priority list those issues are. So each patch/fix, you have to wounder, how long until they get to the big CH issues?

I agree with Rayne
Although all fixes or tweaks are a good thing, Some items should be a priority.
