Hi,

I just came back to SWG after a few months break. And I have some issues with the Changes of the CU

I was playing a combo like [Ranger(0040) Rifleman(2121) CH(2301)]. For me this was a really fun combo, good damage, some nice ranger tricks, always sombody (the pets) to group with and the pets worked: they did support me and made good xp.

Now I'm in the following situation:
- My CL is 48 (from the rifleman?).
- The highest pet I can call is lvl 25

Seems like this does not go well together: The pets seem useless. Attacking mobs in the range of the pet level gives no experience at all. Attacking mobs that would give me some xp will kill the pet immediately

What's the best solution to this?
Dropping CH completely? (I would miss my pets)

Getting both levels even - is this possible? Could I drop some Rifleman skills to gain some more CH - would this lower my CL and increase my Pet level?


thanks

First, always group your pets with you. That way, they take on the same level-based damage multipliers as you, just like when players of different level group together and are set to the level of the most powerful character.

Second, scour Naboo until you find a baby female narglatch. By far the best CL-22 pet in the game (it's an elite), with somewhere around 7700 Health and very good damage output, comparable to, or even better than, a regular level-70 pet!

I just tamed a third baby this morning. I can only pull two at a time, since I'm gradually bleeding off my CH profession for the sake of another profession and am no longer a MCH, but Clotho, Atropos, and Lachesis (named after the Three Fates of Greek mythology) are great assistants! Well, Lachesis still needs to grow up before she can join her sisters, but with the relatively low damage of my new profession's low-level weapons, they're actually able to TANK for me again! First time since the Combat Upgrade went live!

ok, thanks for clarification.
I did group but it seemed to make no difference.
Will try the narglatch ...
